The Paradox of Meditation – The Paradox of Meditation – practiced from a Non-Ego Intention
Wisdoms: ”Because "the ultimate" is devoid of any innate Nature, Mediation as such does not exist. The act of meditation is not meditation. Because it is neither substance nor nothingness, meditation cannot be a conceivable reality.”~Kalachakra Tantra
“Grasp the paradoxes my sons and daughters! There is not so much a mote of dust upon which to meditate, but it is crucial to sustain unwavering attention with presence of mind.” ~Shabkar, Tibetan Master
“To realize the inexpressible truth, do not manipulate mind or body but simply open into transparency with relaxed and natural grace.”
~Tilopa -10th Century – Song of Naropa
“In a pellucid ocean, bubbles arise and dissolve again. Just so, thoughts are no different from ultimate reality, so don’t find fault, remain at ease. Whatever arises, whatever occurs, don’t grasp and release it on the spot.”
~Niguma, 11th century Female Master
“Don’t keep searching for the truth – just let go of your opinion.”
~The Buddha
“Biased attitude are the factor which binds one. The meaning of non-duality occurs when you are free of opinions and transcend clinging to extremes. There is no other way to disclose this. You can’t see it by looking for it. Nor can you find it through logical analysis. Calling it “this” doesn’t reveal it, so in relation to the natural state, don’t fetter, or liberate it, with a grasping mind.” ~Longchenpa
“If you expect your mind to be up and down, you mind will be more peaceful.” ~Lama Thubten Yeshe
