During this talk, Peter responds to questions and comments related to the practice of mindfulness of breathing. Just previous to the talk, he led a guided meditation titled “Guided Anapanasati Contemplation”, which is posted in the Audio archive under Guided Meditation.
During this guided meditation Peter provides suggestions that can associate the practice of mindfulness of breathing meditation with the 4 Tetrads of the Anapanasati Sutta. It is intended to supplement the review of the Anapanasati Sutta he provided during the meeting of July 15, 2026 which is posted on this website. Following this contemplation, he will answer questions participants may have about their meditation practice.
This is the first of two talks on the importance of anapanasati (mindfulness of breathing meditation) for training the mind to realize the concepts described in the Four Noble Truths and Satipatthana (Four Foundations of Mindfulness). During the talk, Peter reviews these teachings and also describes how contemporary psychological insights on Operant Conditioning can be associated with anapanasati practice on the path toward Awakening. Here are the notes prepared for this talk: Anapanasati In Relationship with Satipatthana Here is Analayo’s translation of the Anapanasati Sutta: Anapanasati Sutta translated by Analayo Next week, Peter will lead a guided 45 minute meditation, focused on anapanasati practice. During the talk afterwards, participants will have the opportunity to talk to Peter about their anapanasati experience and he will provide feedback based on their comments.
During this talk, Peter reviews the transition from the Four Noble Truths concept through to the culmination of the Awakening process–Nirvana. He emphasizes the crucial role that the Seven Awakening Factors play in bringing the Path to its highest potential. The majority of meditators will never experience full Awakening, but everything we cultivate through diligent study and practice allows us to wake up from craving and clinging to some extent and experience a more joyful and fulfilling life. Here are the notes prepared for this talk: Eightfold Path toTenfold Path
During this talk, Peter responds to questions regarding the practice of integrating mindfulness of breathing with a body scanning protocol. The characteristics of craving as the antithesis of Right Intention and clinging as the antithesis of Right Understanding is reviewed. He also emphasizes the value of daily meditation practice and recommends the immersive experience of a residential retreat for developing the path towards Awakening.
This talk provided by Lezlie Laws completes a series of talks reviewing the four Divine Abidings: Lovingkindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity. She describes how Equanimity brings balance to the expression of the other three qualities of consciousness.
During this talk, Susan Baxter continues a review of the Four Divine Abidings, focusing on Mudita, translated as Sympathetic Joy. This quality of the mind and heart celebrates the success and happiness of others and is the antidote for jealousy and envy. Susan provides a brief contemplation to support the ability to notice jealousy and envy and transform the heart and mind in positive ways.
During this talk Peter describes his practice of combining mindfulness of breathing meditation with a lovingkindness mantra and then developing compassion from this process. He also suggests focusing attention on the center of the chest during the practice to enhance effective functioning of the vagus nerve, which integrates what happens in the torso with what the mind creates as a personality. This integrative process increases introspective sensitivity and supports the manifestation of compassion for oneself and others. Prior to this talk, Peter provides a recording entitled “Contemplation Integrating Mindfulness With Compassion”, which can be accessed through the Audio page of this site. Here are the notes prepared for this talk: Working With Compassion
