Fixed Thought on Moving Pictures

Post#1 » Thu Jan 22, 2015 9:53 am

I have recently been practicing a modified version of the first exercise in IIH.

essentially, I imagine a thought, and hold it, but it evolves along my direction, like a film screen.

But the thought itself is held at long periods of time.

For example I have used the following exercises:


An unfolding rose

A rotting corpse

A Castle being built stone by stone (this is very difficult)

A Palace of Crystal growing organically

A mushroom growing on a log

Cooking a meal in my mind, for example, imagining a pan, and then adding noodles and vegetables in one thought-sequence


I am not sure if this is very effective as theoretically it is not 'fixed' on one thought, but it is fixing my Stream-of-Thought in one place.

I believe there are Tibetan Buddhist practices that are similar, involving building Bodhisattva Palaces with flowers, Buddhas and jewels, but I haven't managed to find any information on these specialist visualisation meditations thus far.
