Meditation Is To Give Full Attention

**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant. If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, one has to be aware of the emotions or reactions that can block one from listenING ATTENTIVELY and with HUMILITY. This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, do not agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Transcript

No matter where you are,

How busy you were,

Now let's set aside all the other things.

Set aside everything else.

Just sit together,

Turning inward to look at ourselves.

Just look.

There's no contamination.

There's no justification.

Just look.

Not through the labels,

Through the screen or verse.

Just look.

Look with a fresh mind.

Look by letting go of everything.

Look by giving full attention to this moment.

Full attention implies openness,

Inclusiveness,

And to meditate is to give attention to our thoughts,

Our behaviors.
