On the Mat: Meditation
Off the Mat: Today’s podcast is an interview with Brian Sano on Being Buddha-ful. Brian is a student and practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, particularly in the Shambhala tradition of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche and Pema Chodron. He encourages others to practice meditation “off the cushion,” as well as on it, by bringing awareness and mindfulness into every aspect of our daily lives. This “meditationess,” as he calls it, can wake us up, inspiring us to appreciate and see the magic in each moment, as it is. Besides sitting on the meditation cushion, Brian’s interests include practicing and teaching yoga, contemplative photography, and playing soccer or squash. Brian leads a weekly meditation class at Tranquil Space. For his “real” job, Brian is a lawyer for a federal agency in Washington, DC, where he lives, sits, and plays.Omwork: To encourage a sense of diving deeper into today’s podcast, I will post Omwork relating to this segment on our HTC forum. Please connect with fellow HTCs there and play with the following:
1. Practice tonglen and let us know how it goes
2. Share your favorite Buddhist book and why you love it
3. Try a 5 minute meditation daily and share your experience
