Our daily meditation is the foundation of dharma practice. In this talk, Peter Doobinin explicates the purpose for having a daily sitting practice and the rudiments of establishing a strong practice. The talk was given in May 2021. “Over there are the roots of trees; over there, empty dwellings. Practice jhana, monks. Don't be heedless. Don't later fall into regret. This is our message to you."(MN 19)
