Morning Meditaton
Morning meditation — Without mind following things, freely playing everywhere.
‘Without mind following things, freely playing everywhere. Awakening through non-awakening, enlightenment without enlightenment. Gain and loss both cast aside, who speaks of good or bad? All actions originally without doing.’
Zen Master Niutou
Morning Meditation — Maybe we are immersed in a noisy environment.

Words of my Perfect Teacher
Morning meditation — The Buddha rarely described his awakening in detail.
‘The Buddha rarely described his awakening in detail. When asked to explain the nature of his enlightenment, he often remained silent, or he responded in ways that encouraged his followers to look inward rather than cling to his words.’
Everyday Buddhism
Morning meditation — Bodhi originally exists — no need to guard it.
‘Bodhi originally exists — no need to guard it. Delusion originally empty — no need to eliminate it.’

Morning meditation — When you sit, you’re sitting and when you stand, you’re standing.
‘When you sit, you’re sitting and when you stand, you’re standing, and there is no contradiction.
The contradiction takes place in your mind when you make a distinction applying the past to the present.’
