24 Loving-kindness for Self and Others

Alan Wallace guides a 24-minute meditation on loving-kindness,
first for oneself, and then ultimately in all directions without
barriers. He discusses the catalyst for the aspiration of
loving-kindness and the importance of living a life of virtue.


He then answers the following questions from the group:


1. While doing awareness of awareness practice, I don't see a
difference between awareness and mind. What is the relationship
between awareness and mind?


2. Is it possible to achieve shamatha with the four immeasurable
practices?


3. In Dudjom Lingpa's "Vajra Essence", there is a shamatha
practice in which you visualize a bindu at the heart center. Can
you talk about that?
