On Meditation

The everyday practice is simply to develop a complete

acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions

and to all people, experiencing everything totally

without mental reservations and blockages, so that

one never withdraws or centralizes onto oneself.

- Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Meditation is a process of lightening up, of trusting the basic

goodness of what we have and who we are, and of realizing

that any wisdom that exists, exists in what we already have.

We can lead our life so as to become more awake to who we

are and what we're doing rather than trying to improve or

change or get rid of who we are or what we're doing. The

key is to wake up, to become more alert, more inquisitive

and curious about ourselves.

- Pema Chodron

The Buddha told us to see the way things

are and then let go of our clinging to them.

Take this feeling of letting go as your refuge.

- Ajahn Chah
