Purification of Mind Part 2

George continues his in-depth exploration of "Purification of Mind" from Chapter Two of Manual of Insight by Mahasi Sayadaw. Delving further into the value of practicing both concentration and insight meditation, this is a wide-ranging discussion that covers some of the practical aspects to beginning a regular practice, jhanas (altered states of consciousness), the concept of dukkha (pain or suffering), and how aging and health relate to meditation.
