2.3 "MERIT BOOK" Guided Meditation - Brightening the Mind (YOUTH DHAMMA SESSION)

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. Another session to accompany the first module in the Youth Dhamma Gradual Teachings series looking into Buddha's Gradual Instructions to Lay People on GIVING (dānakathaṁ) In this session, we do a guided meditation together - recalling all of our good deeds and what we give up (that we may have written down in our merit book (pin potha in Sinhala) or journal of good deeds).  This meditation is particularly helpful  - when we feel low in mind energy - when the conditions appear challenging - when we need to study or sit for exams  - when we want to improve our memory and retention - when we need to face challenges at work, home and in the community **It will help lift the mind, brighten it, make it happy - so the mind can concentrate more easily, focus, and retain what's needed to be retained.** If you have any questions or comments regarding this talk, please email them to suttameditationseries[at]gmail.com or leave a voicemail message via anchor.fm A VIDEO of this FULL SESSION with presentation slides has been published to the Sutta Meditation Series YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1nMCexSLNk AND on Spotify as a video podcast Blessings of the Triple Gem.
