RECOLLECTION OF THE PURE ABODES Guided Meditation - Lifting the Mind (YOUTH DHAMMA SESSION)

<p><strong>Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.</strong></p> <p>Another session to accompany the third module in the Youth Dhamma Gradual Teachings series looking into Buddha's Gradual Instructions to Lay People on the HEAVENLY REALMS (saggakathaṁ). &nbsp;</p> <p>In this session, we do <strong>a GUIDED MEDITATION together - RECOLLECTING THE NOBLE BEINGS IN THE PURE ABODES (suddhāvāsa). We recollect their conviction, virtuous behaviour, learning, generosity and wisdom to be reborn in the highest of the heavenly realms. </strong>We bring to mind the noble beings we have heard of from the Buddha's teachings, and we deepen the meditation by recollecting they have attained path and fruit of non-return and path and fruit of arahantship and developed noble qualities. &nbsp;</p> <p>This meditation is particularly helpful:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>- when we feel low in mind energy&nbsp;</li> <li>- when the conditions appear challenging&nbsp;</li> <li>- when we feel we need protection and safety&nbsp;</li> <li>- when we need to study or sit for exams&nbsp;</li> <li>- when we want to improve our memory and retention&nbsp;</li> <li>- when we need to face challenges at work, home and in the community &nbsp;</li> <li>- when we want to learn, practise and understand Buddha Dhamma</li> </ul> <p>**It will help lift the mind, brighten it, make it happy and safe - so the mind can concentrate more easily, focus, and retain what's needed to be retained.** &nbsp;</p> <p>We can apply this meditation as we go about our daily lives and in all postures (sitting, walking, standing, wakefully lying down)</p> <p>If you have any questions or comments regarding this talk, please email them to suttameditationseries[at]gmail.com or leave a voicemail message via anchor.fm</p> <p><strong>A VIDEO of this GUIDED MEDITATION has been published to the Sutta Meditation Series YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqlcplcYFEQ </strong><u><strong>AND</strong></u><strong> on Spotify as a video podcast</strong></p> <p>Blessin
