Dharma Contemplation Practice Phases

In Dharma Contemplation, we immerse ourselves in a short excerpt of text and allow it to transform us. First, we hear the text, then read it repeatedly so that it comes to saturate our minds. Layer after layer, we deepen our experience of the teachings. Throughout this process, we remain intimate with the text rather than engaged in conversation about the text.
