Description: Sometimes the practice can be experienced as a little too grim. I don’t know if anyone has told you but it’s not really necessary to be really grim in meditation. If you look at any images or statues of the Buddha, he’s smiling. Maybe that’s the goal. To be someone who can watch their own mind and explore the world and still smile as it all goes past.
