Non-Meditation and Non-Distraction: Application

In this final part of the three part series on Non-Meditation and Non-Distraction, Mingyur Rinpoche explains how to practice this meditation in everyday life. Using meditation on the breath as an example, we can practice noticing our breath during any activity – walking, talking with others, eating, etc. – everywhere, anytime. Rinpoche says this simple technique can also be helpful when we experience panic, stress and difficulties with others. Like the breathing practice, this simple approach to practice can also be used to watch thoughts and emotions. You can discuss this teaching in the Monthly Teachings Forum under the topic Non-Meditation and Non-Distraction: Application.
