Beginning Meditation

We give you instruction in the foundational practice of shamata, or calm-abiding meditation.  This is THE trailhead to the path of meditation according to the Buddhist tradition.  But, as you’ll hear, one needn’t be a Buddhist to enjoy the benefits of this profound and life-changing practice.  The only prerequisites are the belief that we can be better than we are  today, and the diligence of keeping up a consistent, daily practice. With this episode, you’ll have everything you need to get started.Support the showOur website is lamataboot.com, Instagram: @lamataboot, and YouTube: @lamatabootFind Lama Adam at lamaadam.com.
