Meditation could be said to be the 

Art of Simplicity: simply sitting, 

simply breathing, and simply being.

Meditation could be said 

to be the art of simplicity –– 

simply sitting,

simply breathing,

and simply being.

At present, the outer universe – earth, 

stones, mountains, rocks, and cliffs – 

seems to the perception of our senses to be 

permanent and stable, like the house built of 

reinforced concrete which we think will last for 

generations. In fact, there is nothing solid to it

at all; it is nothing but a city of dreams.

~ Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Meditation could be said to be

Daily Zen - Thursday, December 13

When you run after your thoughts, you are like 

a dog chasing a stick; every time a stick is thrown, 

you run after it. But if instead, you look at where your 

thoughts come from, you will see that each thought 

arises and dissolves within the space of that awareness, 

without engendering other thoughts. Be like a lion, who 

rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face 

the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once.

~ Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Once we recognize that thoughts

are empty, the mind will no longer have

the power to deceive us. But as long as

we take our deluded thoughts as real,

they will continue to torment us mercilessly.

Simply allow your thoughts and experiences

to come and go, without ever grasping at them.
