CULTIVATING THE SKILLS OF CALM-ABIDING AND SPECIAL INSIGHT MEDITATIONS IN THE BUSY LIFE OF A HOUSEHOLDER

Quite often meditative practices are presented from the point of view of full-time meditators, who have committed a sizable block of time and energy to meditation, making it their vocation. What about the rest of us who have to juggle various life responsibilities and social commitments while still interested in pursuing meditation? In this Deepening Meditation series, we will specifically look at what is possible and accessible for the regular (and irregular) meditators living in a busy city like Sydney, that does not require us to go on long, solitary retreats or hours of practice daily.
