Try to be the Buddha and you can't.

Simply be... fully... then a Buddha is what you are.

For me, meditation is like food.
It's spiritual food, and I need to be fed....
If I didn't share this passion with people it would be a sin.

Before you begin meditation take several slow, deep breaths.

Hold your body erect, allowing your breathing to become normal again.

Many thoughts will crowd into your mind, ignore them, letting them go.

If they persist be aware of them, with the awareness which does not think.

With repeated meditation practice
the expanse of the visible universe
with all its qualities dissolves to nothing,
to where there is only wholeness
and great joy.

Awareness is observation without choice, condemnation, or justification. Awareness is silent observation from which there arises understanding without the experiencer and the experienced. In this awareness, which is passive, the problem or the cause is given an opportunity to unfold itself and so give its full significance. J Krishnamurti
