"Sona and the Lute" by Paul Harris

This concerns the story of Sona, who tried too hard in the meditation, and the Buddha’s instruction to him of using the middle way in terms of effort. It discusses setting up the meditation practice, then afterwards, reflecting on it and adapting our approach. It highlights important aspects such as creating a positive narrative about meditation, knowing its purpose, direction and focus and having clear comprehension of all of these.



Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquility.
