Easing Awake with Doug Kraft

Author: Doug Kraft

Sifting through the earliest records of the Buddha's talks, we find a simple, elegant, and powerful practice. When he died, his teaching became an ism, Buddhism. As it spread into other countries, cultures, and eras his teachings or map was copied and re-copied. Shortcuts and alternatives were added and deleted. Compared to the versions of his teachings most widely known, his original meditation emphasized: Tranquility: an open, receptive awareness favored over highly focused, one-pointed concentration; Simplicity: loving kindness, serenity and insight all integrated rather than treated as separate practices; Stages: the practice matures through stages, each of which builds upon and goes beyond earlier stages (or jhana); Ease: relaxing as more important than striving. These podcasts are dedicated to this approach to meditation and daily living. I call it easing awake.
