The heart is just the heart; thoughts and feelings are just thoughts and feelings. Let things be just as they are.

Do not try to become anything. Do not make yourself into anything. Do not be a meditator. Do not become enlightened. When you sit, let it be. What you walk, let it be. Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing.

If you haven't cried deeply a number of times, your meditation hasn't really begun.

Just know what is happening in your mind - not happy or sad about it, not attached. If you suffer see it, know it, and be empty. It's like a letter - you have to open it before you can know what's in it.

Of course there are dozens of meditation techniques, but it all comes down to this - just let it all be. Step over here where it is cool, out of the battle. Why not give it a try?

If you let go completely you will have complete peace.

If you see certainty in that which is uncertain, you are bound to suffer
