What to track in your meditation journal

Try for 30 minutes total. 15 minutes on each meditation. Each meditation three times over three days.
Write down:

  1. Topic.
  2. The meditation time and session length.
  3. What % did you feel you were on the object or note how many times your mind left the object.
  4. The quality of your mind during meditation. (For example: Great intensity. Scattered. The meditation object appeared dull).
  5. Something you learned. Simple or profound realization. Short, so you are more likely to do it.
  6. Resolution about what to do next time you meditate.

Write after you have finished your session so its fresh, and of course, not during!

This Meditation Course is possible due to the kindness of Lama Christie McNally, who translated Bhavana Krama into English, prepared the teachings, and transmitted the lineage at Diamond Mountain University in Fall of 2005.

    Dearest Holy James and Lisette’hla,

    I am ever so grateful to you for your loving generosity in allowing me to be a part of this class though I have not yet studied Bok Jinpa III (I will in September!). What a glorious evening. My heart soared with happiness. Yesterday morning I took to my cushion and begged my teachers to come and guide me,to help me meditate, to help me teach, to help me cultivate bodhichitta so that I may truly serve others. And they came and they brought me to you. I am deeply grateful to you for your crystal clear wisdom and stunning compassion and I bow down to you.

    With love and gratitude always,
    Maria Cutrona

    Holy lamas - The class today was amazing. You spoke to my heart and the questions I was struggling with - so directly, so precisely, so eloquently and so skillfully.

    One more missile laden with wisdom that sailed with pin point accuracy into the death star of my ignorance….

    I dedicate the merit of hearing your teachings to seeing all beings find their perfect Lamas.

    thank you, thank you, thank you.
