B. Alan Wallace, 16 Sep 2011

Shamatha without a sign is a process of discovery and exploration rather than development. It involves experiencing and discovering, through one’s own experience the natural states of mind of bliss, luminosity and non-conceptuality. In this practice, one looks deeply into cognition itself to discover the blockages, these being a sense of I am. So we look deeply into such questions as: Who is in charge? Who is the agent of action?
Meditation starts at 10:11
