Meditation Is Not About Doing Something

Practice Can Be Stated Very Simply. It Is Moving From A Life Of Hurting Myself And Others To A Life Of Not Hurting Myself And Others. That Seems So Simple-except When We Substitute For Real Practice Some Idea That We Should Be Different Or Better Than We Are, Or That Our Lives Should Be Different From The Way They Are. When We Substitute Our Ideas About What Should Be (such Notions As "i Should Not Be Angry Or Confused Or Unwilling") For Our Life As It Truly Is, Then We're Off Base And Our Practice Is Barren.

To Enjoy The World Without Judgment Is What A Realized Life Is Like.

It's Of No Use To Look Back And Say, "i Should Have Been Different." At Any Given Moment, We Are The Way We Are, And We See What We're Able To See. For That Reason, Guilt Is Always Inappropriate.

Whenever We Say A Person's Name, Notice Whether We Have Stated More Than A Fact. For Example, The Judgment, 'she's Thoughtless' Goes Beyond The Facts 'she Said She'd Call Me And She Didn't.
