We haven’t talked much about meditation lately, so it’s time for a refresher. Today, let’s watch a video as Sakyong Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche explains his thoughts on meditation. I don’t think The Sakyong Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche has been mentioned on this site before, but he’s one of the up-and-coming big names in Buddhism. He is the son of Chogyam Tungpa Rinpoche, and holds many various titles.
Here are two short videos. One is about the Sakyong himself, and the other is a video of him discussing meditation with a group of students.

A little while back I was listening to a series on meditation I found on iTunes – it’s from Zencast and you can get the 5-week (episodes) guide here: http://amberstar.libsyn.com/index.php?post_category=Introduction%20to%20Meditation
I learnt a lot from this and practice many aspects of the approach still today.
