B. Alan Wallace, 27 May 2011

This afternoon, Alan ventures into the realm of vipashyana with an introductory teaching. He draws from Padmasambhava’s “Natural Liberation” and instructs us on a basic vipashyana technique. The opening talk lasts 55 minutes, and the following unguided vipashyana meditation is included.

After the unguided meditation [1:23:05], Alan continues to elaborate on the value of contemplative introspection and observation. He concludes with a special message for podcast listeners, which begins at 1:42:00.
