A recording of today's teachings and discussion (from 10th May) of Rahula's "What the Buddha Taught" (part 3 on Chapter 6 and chapter 7) can be downloaded here. Among the topics we covered today:

• The purpose of meditation and its benefits in cultivating mental health
• Meditation techniques
• The two forms of meditation, shamatha and vipashyana, and their relationship to each other and to the view (including "form is emptiness, emptiness is form")
• Deconstruction and dis-identification from form, feeling, thoughts, references and self - how meditation allows to cultivate egolessness
• Living in the present moment, losing yourself in your action, flow and positive psychology, creativity and performance
