Meditation Instruction -How to meditate. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Shambhala

Chögyam Trungpa gives a general orientation to meditation in the Buddhist tradition and gives meditation instruction. This is essentially the same basic instruction that he gave throughout the time he was in the United States. It is also virtually identical with the meditation instruction that was the basis of Shambhala Training and is still used extensively, along with other approaches.
This approach is meditation as a way of life rather than purely as a practice.
We can't reject ourselves before we know what we are. Meditation allows us to realize and understand ourselves, without either chickening out-rejecting ourselves-or congratulating ourselves. This requires a sort of heroism.
This approach to meditation is based on bhavana, a Sanskrit term that means exertion or discipline. Unless you are willing to discipline yourself through practice, you are in a hopeless situation.
Through practice, you see the colours of your own existence in a very down to earth way.
Chögyam Trungpa speaks about how he has personally gained wisdom and clarity from practicing meditation in this way.
