“Meditative states are not important in themselves. Meditation is a way to quiet the mind so you can practice all daylong wherever you are; see when there is grasping or aversion, clinging or suffering; and then let it go. What’s left is enlightenment, always found here and now, a release of identification with the changing conditions of the world,a resting in awareness. This involves a simple yet profound shift of identity from the myriad, ever-changing conditioned states to the unconditioned consciousness–the awareness which knows them all.

Training the mind and heart in our everyday lives is one way we can bring greater sanity, greater peace to the world. We also can step away from the busy-ness of our world to go deeply into the great potential of the mind, to develop the capacities that are inherently there to be kind and aware. This can happen for anyone, at any age, in any situation. Why not be a Buddha now?

Be Aware of the Ebb and Flow
The Now does not come and go, but includes everything all at once. When we’re aware of being in the Now, present moments come and go, like ripples and waves in the ocean of awake awareness. – Loch Kelly, “When Am I?” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

When you begin to inquire into the operation of your own mind, when you observe your own thinking, your daily activities and feelings, you cannot be taught because there is no one to teach you. You cannot base your inquiry on any authority, on any assumption, on any previous knowledge. If you do, then you are merely conforming to the pattern of what you already know, and therefore you are no longer learning about yourself.
