Even in the darkest night.
There can shine starlight.
Even in the dark fate.
We can be fortunate.
While things in the world are gone wrong.
Yet our minds can enjoy happiness.
Through the practice of meditation.
So now let's close our eyes in order to meditate together.
Now let's close our eyes softly and gently.
Let our eyelids slide down slowly.
As we only allow eyelashes to slightly touch one another.
Comfortably without squeezing the eyelids.
Then we let all parts of our physical bodies to become more relaxed.
None of them would be under tension or stress.
Allow all muscles to be more relaxed and soft.
Starting from the muscle around the face.
Down to the neck.
Shoulders,
Down to both arms and hands.
All the way to the fingertips.
As we know we feel that they are more tension free.
Now let the chest and back be more relaxed.
Together with both legs and thighs.
Down to the feet and toes.
Let's stay with this soft feeling of our entire bodies.
For a little while.
Let our minds be free from all worries and concerns.
Then the mind will become more and more relaxed.
More neutral.
And then more comfortable.
Some of us may feel that the mind has become spacious than before.
Some of us may feel that the mind has become spacious than before.
When nothing remains to trouble the mind.
Whatever happening to the outside world at the moment.
Will only remain outside of our minds.
Because this very moment is for us to enjoy inner peace.
The inner peace is the true gift we can give to ourselves.
For those who are new to the meditation.
Please do not worry too much.
That a way to obtain this gift is simple.
Meditation is about how to bring the wandering mind.
From the outside back to inside of our body.
We may start with a soft feeling.
That our bodies are just an empty structure.
Made of a thin outline.
Nothing is in there.
No bone,
No muscles,
No organs.
Let that be a soft feeling.
As we are in an empty space for a moment.
Then we slowly return to the awareness.
Of the mind back inside.
Inside of our bodies Let that awareness be softly still within you.
Please be slow and soft.
When we begin to come back inside.
The awareness of the mind will learn to stay more calm and more still inside the abdomen.
The mind can also rest anywhere inside of our body.
With more and more comforts.
We may feel that the mind is floating weightlessly.
Like a tiny feather hanging in the air.
Finally making a very gentle landing.
On the still water surface.
The touch is so soft and light.
As if nothing happens to disturb the calmness of the water surface.
Let's maintain this feeling of emptiness and zero weight for a little more while together.
We may remind ourselves that our mind are still with us.
Inside,
Not outside.
Now that the moment of being inside could last longer than before.
We can remain calm and comfortable.
As long as we feel it's still relaxing.
Some of us may feel there is an image of the sun in the sky.
Depends on which time of the day you're doing the meditation.
Where the sun you can see it every day.
Or it can be the full moon.
Or a shining star if you're doing it at night.
Whatever you feel the most comfortable to feel with.
Just allow the light of that object to be within you.
Let's keep feeling that image naturally so nothing else would have a chance to walk in.
Let's keep feeling that image with more comfort.
And without the count of time.
For some of us who feel less comfortable.
We can begin again anytime.
If we feel an image but distractions come in.
We always can start again and again.
As if we are resetting the time.
We only keep centering our minds with no effort.
And with an image we feel like,
Yes,
This is it,
Anytime.
Whatever brings joy and happiness to you.
Just allow it to be.
Besides an image we may welcome the use of a repeating word to enhance our centering of the mind.
We may whisper it quietly in our mind.
You can choose whatever makes you feel peace and comfort.
Or you can choose to repeat bright and clear.
Bright and clear.
Bright and clear.
Bright and clear.
Bright and clear.
Bright and clear.
Those repeating words.
Will help you to bring the state of the mind.
Into the mental purity.
You may only keep repeating bright and clear quietly in your mind.
You may feel that those words are echoing and vibrating.
From our body centre.
As if you're combining the image that you choose,
The one that you feel.
It will embrace your mind.
And allow it to be motionlessly inside of you all the time.
Once you enjoy doing this every single day.
You may feel surprised how such beginners like you or even more advanced meditator could still their minds for a longer period of time.
And sometimes for a shorter time.
I keep practicing meditation every day.
The centering will become easier and as natural as your breathing.
No one needs to think when they can breathe.
Through the meditation practice,
We can free our minds from all mental defilements.
And their negative energy.
Our mind will become pure and crystal clear.
The pure mind will connect with the source of pure peace energy inside of us.
Our pure energy will safeguard us against the harmful elements such as danger,
Or any sickness that will bring our energy down.
Moreover,
With a pure mind.
All our thoughts,
Speeches and action will be right.
Because our mind is more focused,
Clear and more conscious.
This is what our world seriously needs at the moment.
By practicing meditation we automatically become a protector of the world.
The pure peace energy from the pure mind will radiate across the entire planet.
Meanwhile we nurture our still minds amid the pure peace energy that keeps building up in our beings by keep repeating bright and clear.
Allowing our mind to stay still for more and more time.
The more still and peaceful mind.
The more you will be able to see and witness inner peace.
So keep repeating bright and clear.
Or whatever words feel right to you.
Bright and clear.
Bright and clear.
Bright and clear.
Bright and clear.
Once you have absorbed the pure source of peace energy within you.
You may now begin to radiate such energy to all directions.
The radiation starts from the feeling that the pure energy takes the form of a crystal sphere.
Imagine that that sphere is growing bigger and bigger.
To cover all the entire beings.
To all of our body.
And then it's growing further and further.
To cover all our families.
Our neighborhood.
Reaching to the whole world.
To the earth.
We extend that sphere of peace energy bigger and bigger to protect all the fellow humans.
From all periods in their lives.
For those with great suffering.
May they be free from sadness and pain.
For those who are happy.
May they be more happy.
And feel the peace energy and the loving kindness expanding more and more.
Reaching out with our positive intention.
Delivered to everyone in our countries.
Reaching to all continents,
To the entire globe.
Wishing everyone everywhere such peace and happiness.
May everyone live in peace and harmony.
Free from suffering and pain.
Free from stress and worries.
Free from sickness and dangers.
Let us also share this peace,
Energy and loving-kindness to our ancestors.
To our family member,
Whether they are dead or alive.
May they all feel a glimpse of hope and joy from the liberation of sadness,
Sickness,
Sorrow and danger.
As we are embracing our planet with our pure energy.
Let the whole planet and all beings become as pure and clear as crystal.
Also all humans and other beings on the planet.
To be refined and turn pure and crystal clear.
Free you from any defilements.
Including the virus that infects our mind,
Bodies,
Causing sickness and physical health problems.
Or the mental viruses that infect our human minds.
That are the three defilements who govern our mind via craving,
Anger and delusion.
Dividing the support.
And drive us into endless conflicts and warfare.
We are now leading our world to the new age.
The age of morality that emerges from the pure energy in our hearts.
May this pure energy safeguard our Earth.
From all defilements from now on.
With the protection of God.
Omit all what is inside of the sky and on earth.
To be useful.
For the humankind.
May you find peace all your way.
Peace in,
Peace out.
