What you want, is already here. It's always been here. When we allow the mind to rest, the fog to settle, we can see clearly the truth... There's an awareness that's absolutely complete. From this wholeness you can accomplish all things, through resting, and taking action at the same time. How do we access this? Through daily mind training, coming back and letting things settle. Through resting into trust. Rest into your nature.

Just did the Tonglen level 1 meditation from the classroom Breathed compassion into: A loved one An acquaintence And someone I've had miscommunication with in my past. Then sat in awareness.. Very powerful visualization of inhaling grey smoke, filtering through a diamond heart then breathing out white light onto myself and the other people. Those visualizations make it easier to stay present during the practice.

Just sat and practiced along with the Gate 1 concentration guided meditation. Feeling refreshed and ready to start the day.

In this lifetime, it is extraordinarily rare to be born human. Rarer still to encounter the teachings of meditation. A great master once said: imagine throwing a handful of rice against the wall. The chance that you were born human and found this path is like the chance of a single grain bouncing off the floor and sticking. That is how precious this is. So when you sit down to practice, to investigate the nature of your own mind, bring a little gratitude with you. This opportunity is not ordinary. Thank you for being here.
