Guided Breathing Mindfulness Meditation and Student Questions at Wat Tung Yu
Wat Tung Yu, Rachadamnoen Rd, Amphoe Mueang Chiang Mai, Ch, THGuided Breathing Mindfulness Meditation and Student Questions at Wat Tung Yu
Breathing Mindfulness Meditation was the primary form of meditation employed by The Buddha to attain Enlightenment. There are many aspects of The Path to Enlightenment that one would need to learn and practice with guidance from a Teacher, however, Breathing Mindfulness Meditation should be among the top priorities for any Practitioner aspiring to attain Enlightenment.
The goal of Breathing Mindfulness Meditation is to develop “Right Mindfulness”, “Right Concentration”, and to eliminate the unwholesome root of craving/desire/attachment.
All discontentedness is caused by craving/desire/attachment so it is important to train the mind to not have craving/desire/attachment as part of "Developing Your Life Practice”.
In this LIVE Stream and Interactive Learning Session, David will guide you in a Breathing Mindfulness Meditation session and will accept questions from Students to help you develop your meditation practice and progress forward on The Path to Enlightenment.
Join us to learn and develop your practice…

Experiencing The Jhānas & The Four Stages of Enlightenment - Meditation
Wat Tung Yu, Rachadamnoen Rd, Amphoe Mueang Chiang Mai, Ch, THExperiencing The Jhānas & The Four Stages of Enlightenment - Meditation Practitioner Course
(30-hours)(Learn In-person or Online at No Cost)
Date: 17 November - 21 November 2025
Time: 9:00AM - 3:00PM (Thailand Time)
Price: No Cost - Donations are accepted but not expected nor required
Location: Wat Tung Yu (Chiang Mai, Thailand) or Live Stream
(You will find us in our classroom in the large yellow building.)This course will help to develop a Student’s knowledge beyond the average foundational course focusing on guiding Students in deepening their understanding and practice of The Teachings of The Buddha to experience The Jhānas and The Four Stages of Enlightenment.
The Jhānas are preliminary phases the mind moves through prior to the first Stage of Enlightenment where the benefits of learning, reflecting, and practicing these Teachings start to allow the mind to experience “glimpses” of Enlightenment. Increased and improved qualities of mind are deeply experienced as the mind is entering the Jhānas.
Deep focus, concentration, memory, and clarity of mind are starting to be experienced in ways that did not exist prior to a Practitioner fully developing their life practice on The Path to Enlightenment. Once the mind has experienced all Four Stages of Enlightenment, all discontent feelings will be 100% eliminated. The Enlightened mind will no longer experience any feelings such as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, boredom, loneliness, shyness, jealousy, resentment, stress, anxiety, etc.
At the conclusion of this course, Students will have a deepened theoretical foundation while being able to deeply integrate and apply these Teachings in daily life that includes a solid meditation practice that leads to experiencing significant results to the quality of mind as it experiences progress towards the Jhānas and The Four Stages of Enlightenment.
