Transcript

For the next few moments,

There's only one thing to do,

And that is,

Make nothing into a problem.

Feel as if you're struggling with your experience?

No problem.

Feeling at ease with experience?

No problem.

Experiencing states conventionally labeled as positive?

No problem.

Being visited by so-called negative states?

No problem.

Quiet mind?

No problem.

Restless mind?

No problem.

Feeling that no experience is ever a problem?

No problem.

Thinking that some experiences are a problem?

Also,

No problem.

For these next few moments,

Let no experience be wrong or out of place.

Let no moment be anything other than the perfect expression of life that it is in the instant of its appearance.

This is one of the best meditations I have ever listen to! I hope he does many many more on this topic of problems! Nothing is a problem unless we believe it is a problem! This cannot be overstated – if we did not believe our thoughts we wouldn’t have a problem!!!! Do Nothing Would also be a great topic!
