Buddhist teachings to investigate your experience, from Ajahn Sumedho.
Buddhist
Morning meditation — All things are Buddha-things.
‘“All things are Buddha-things.” And why? Because what was preached by the Tathāgata, O Subhūti, as all things, that was preached as no-things; and therefore all things are called Buddha-things.’
Avalokiteshvara
Morning meditation — I appear in the midst of the activities of all sentient beings.
‘I appear in the midst of the activities of all sentient beings without leaving the presence of all the Buddhas.’
Avalokiteshvara
Morning meditation — What joy there is in this radiance!
‘What joy there is in this radiance!’
Harada Tangen Roshi
Morning meditation — If anything is to be done.
‘If anything is to be done, do it with sustained vigour. A lax religious life stirs up the dust of passions.’
The Dhammapada
Morning meditation — Unskilful deeds are better left undone.
Unskilful deeds are better left undone, as they torment us afterwards. Good deed’s are better done without regrets.
