The Practice

“The correct way of practicing … It is simply presence of mind, being awake to whether one is experiencing thought movement or stillness.”  -Tsoknyi

Be aware of what you are doing.

To “be aware” is to know; it is an active state. When you know what you are doing—if just sitting, moving around, or performing a complex task—the doing takes care of itself.

Tsoknyi Rinpoche

Listen: Silence delivers only helpful thoughts.

Remain aware. Notice a thought… Let it go… Repeat, over and over. That is the practice.

The noticing quality, itself, purifies the mind: In the noticing is the letting go.

“Everything good has awareness for its root.”  -Bodhidharma

As you become comfortable in silent awareness, living is more enjoyable.
