Yesterday was buddah's birthday and there was program about tibet on tv. It so reminded me of ae-amber and ae. Amber and overall ae makes me half-feel what buddah talked about. Good or bad? The place like tibet, I am tempted visit someday but also feel afraid to. |

Anyway I think what these 2 normal young guys have done is amazing. Whatever stage they were going through at that time. music can make it more real at fatser time than 1000 books. |

hows about the track 'slip' then .. that song used to make me think about meditation before i had any experience of it :) |
||||||||

oh, slip! The joy at the top of mountain. pure, pure, pure. Yeah, now you mention it, the low pads seems to have serenity to it. |

do you play any music when you meditate? I don't have experience yet. |
||||||||
|

|
playing music would be a no no.. . your supposed to eliminate outside influences until everything is gone.. . music would be harder to "ignore".. . depending on the type of course. .. |

yes i often listen to music during meditation, particularly bali gamelan. music/sound can be just as good a meditation object as anything else. more experienced meditators will lean toward more complicated music .. but at first gentle ambient is very helpful. but yes for me eastern music has a profound effect. |

meditation is more about developing strong focus, than trying to eliminate stimuli. when the mind focuses on one thing it is like sunlight through a magnifying glass. the quality of focus is what the mind finds relaxing. it is relaxing because the act of watching a single point is simple. in time a person cultivates this focus and can begin to direct it at all kinds of things. this doesnt mean that everything else is blocked out, one still is aware of the surroundings, but watches them 'with detachment' |

|
|
point being in meditation your not supposed to be focusing on music d; |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why not? its not dissimilar to focusing on say waves on a beach or other natural sounds |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what insight comes from focusing on music? yes its pleasant. .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the quality of focus itself is most imporatant |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a meditation object can be anything .. sound/music, something visual, a feeling/sensation, a mantra/affirmation .. |

the dalai lama resides in Dharmasala (spelling?), in India, not in Burma |
