USA CIA with Venerable Bodhidhaja. USA is an acronym for unburden settle arrive. CIA is an acronym for the mind or central intelligence agency. Venerable used these acronyms to get us interested and grab our attention. Venerable then described the basics of meditation in terms easily understood by all beginners and experienced alike. Venerable then guided us through a 30 minute meditation well suited to beginners encouraging us to treat each thought that arose by saying to it "I value your presence" and then let it go.
Venerable then opened to questions giving very detailed answers using synonyms and practical examples.
