This Guided Meditation by Robert Beatty introduces the listener to the teachings of the Venerable Taungpulu Sayadaw.
Robert spent a week with Ven Taungpulu Sayadaw over 44 years ago. Getting a one week visa to Burma was almost impossible at that time.
Robert ordained as a novice monk and spent five days in intensive practice. The practice was very different from that of usual Mindfulness teachings at the time. Robert was instructed to spend every waking moment attending to one of the following:
Seeing
Hearing
Sitting and Touching.
The fifth day practice consisted of a slow rotation between these sense doors.
This is an illuminating practice making presence and lostness in the trances of the wandering mind very obvious.
