Don't speculate about the present and don't meditate with the intellect. Don't analyze with discursive thought; utterly relax your mind. ~ Tilopa ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------- Don't correct or improve; rest freely. Don't check too much; rest in the natural state. Don't keep something in mind; rest free from focus. ~ Gampopa ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------- Through concepts you don't realize the nature beyond concepts. Through constructed practices you don't reach the unconstructed enlightenment. If you want to realize the unconstructed nature beyond concepts, resolve your own mind and rest in naked awareness. ~ Tilopa ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------- Perceiving is mind, being empty is also mind. Realizing is mind, being mistaken is also mind. Having arisen is mind, having ceased is also mind. May we cut through all doubts concerning mind. ~ III Karmapa, Ranjung Dorje ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------- This is neither good nor bad. Go on with your meditation ~ Milarepa
