Morning meditation — The path does not end with the realisation of emptiness.
‘The path does not end with the realisation of emptiness, not-self. It continues as a journey of awakening in the present, in every breath.’

Morning meditation — Awareness, not two.
‘Awareness, not two. The inner and the outer no longer feel divided. The sense of ‘me’ observing the world softens, or falls away. Thought still moves, but is not taken as real. Experience flows without clinging, without story, without ‘‘two’’.’
Everyday Buddhist
Morning meditation — Not-two does not arrive as a philosophy.
‘In practice, the insight of not-two does not arrive as a philosophy, but as a felt shift in perception.’

Morning meditation — The Buddha points beyond ‘is’ and ‘is not’.
‘The Buddha points beyond ‘is’ and ‘is not’, beyond ‘eternal’ and ‘annihilated‘, and ultimately beyond any view that divides experience into fixed categories.’
Everyday Buddhist
Morning meditation — Delusion is clever because it can manifest in subtle, seemingly benign ways.
‘Delusion is clever because it can manifest in subtle, seemingly benign ways. It is not always dramatic or obvious. It can take the form of attachment to opinions, the unquestioned belief in our sense of self, or the assumption that things will remain as they are.’
Everyday Buddhism
Morning meditation — Papañca is, in essence, the mental act of turning ‘just this’ into ‘me versus that’.
‘Papañca is, in essence, the mental act of turning ‘just this’ into ‘me versus that’. It is the engine that generates ‘two’ from what was never really split.’
