The Positive Restructuring of Consciousness




Dharmabytes from free buddhist audio show

Summary: Today's FBA Dharmabyte is from our founder and teacher Sangharakshita: "The Positive Restructuring of Consciousness." In Buddhist practice, the traditional method of choice for effecting positive change in one's life is meditation. Here Sangharakshita takes a closer look, focussing on the 'superconscious states' (characterised in turn by integration, inspiration, permeation, and radiation), the practice of developing universal friendliness, and the distinction between calm and Insight. From the talk: "A Method of Personal Development," 1976.
