• Morning meditation — Meditation is often mistaken for its techniques.

  By Buddhism Now on 7 June 2025 • ( 0 )

  

  ‘Meditation is often mistaken for its techniques — breath control, mantras, visualisations — yet true meditation is not something we ‘do’ but something we realise.’

• Morning meditation — The Buddhist path is not about discovering a higher truth.

  By Buddhism Now on 6 June 2025 • ( 0 )

  

  ‘The Buddhist path is not about discovering a higher truth but about seeing through the illusion of fixed truths altogether. The mind that no longer grasps at duality or non-duality, being or not being, abides in the flow of reality — undivided, fully present.’

• Morning meditation — This is quite clear and simple.

  ‘This is quite clear and simple if we think of it properly. Shelter, food, companionship, friendship, fame, wealth, power — none of these things come from oneself; they depend on many other factors.’

• Morning meditation — Non-duality is not a state to be achieved.

  ‘Non-duality is not a state to be achieved. It is not the opposite of duality. It is not the final answer. It is the dissolution of the question itself.’

  ‘The mind that no longer grasps at duality or non-duality, being or not being, simply abides in the flow of reality — undivided, ungraspable, yet fully present.’

• Morning meditation — Compassion, love, kindness.

  ‘Compassion, love, kindness, a sense of brotherhood or sisterhood, a sense of altruism — these are key areas for human development in the future as well as today.’

• Morning meditation — I Mo Ko. What is this?

  By Buddhism Now on 1 June 2025 • ( 0 )

  

  ‘I Mo Ko. I Mo Ko. What is this? What is this? When we practise hua t’ou meditation, we are simply trying to generate doubt: What is this? Sometimes the `this’ is crying, sometimes laughing, sometimes feeling depressed, sometimes being excited.’

  Jisu Sunim

• Morning meditation — If a major fear or worry arises.

  By Buddhism Now on 31 May 2025 • ( 0 )

  

  ‘If a major fear or worry arises, tell it you’ll give it attention later. Remarkably, this works. The mind, like a restless child, often settles once it knows it will be heard.’
