The following talk was given at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California.

So welcome to this second talk on insight, what the insight is of Insight, with that following the series on samadhi,

and that its insight is much more effective, much more penetrating, or much more wise,

when it's partnered with an ability to be focused, stable, settled,

where all of us is included and it kind of gathered simplicity of attention,

so that when we are attending to something with our attention, with our mindfulness,

it's not a simplistic or a very narrow kind of attention, but it's something that's wide or full, and it's rich with so much of who we are coming along to be present. So part of the joy of breath meditation being mindful of breathing doesn't exactly come from

the experience of breathing itself, but it comes from the way in which we have this calm,

stable, settled ability to really gather ourselves, really get absorbed in the

experience of breathing. And then there's a wonderful feedback loop between the breathing and how

we're aware of it. And at some point in that feedback loop, in the interface between breathing and awareness,

a wonderful feeling of well-being, joy, delight, a richness, a sweetness, a sweetness,

arises from the experience of breathing,

or maybe in that interface.

And the, um,

um,

um,

um,

so to bring together

and samadhi and mindfulness.

And then it's very important to understand the basic building blocks of mindfulness
