View, Meditation, Action and Result

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

The realization that all phenomena of samsara and enlightenment are emptiness inseparable from naked awareness is the view. To release present awareness within the spacious natural state and then to sustain the self-liberation of thoughts without grasping is meditation. All post-meditative activity done harmoniously with the Dharma is the conduct. The complete manifestation of that abiding nature is the result.

I, Vajra Jnana, wrote this in response to the nun Jampa Chodron.

Mindfulness Meditation

~ DudjomTersarNgondro

When thoughts come while you are meditating, let them come; there’s no need to regard them as your enemies.

When they arise, relax in their arising.

On the other hand, if they don’t arise, don’t be nervously wondering whether or not they will. Just rest in their absence.

If big, well-defined thoughts suddenly appear during your meditation, it is easy to recognize them. But when slight, subtle movements occur, it is hard to realize that they are there until much later. This is what we call namtok wogyu, the undercurrent of mental wandering. This is the thief of your meditation, so it is important for you to keep a close watch. If you can be constantly mindful, both in meditation and afterward, when you are eating, sleeping, walking, or sitting, that’s it – you’ve got it right!
