In meditation take care not to impose anything on the mind, or to tax it. When you meditate there should be no effort to control, and no attempt to be peaceful. Don't be overly solemn or feel that you are taking part in some special ritual; let go even of the idea that you are meditating. Let your body remain as it is, your breath as you find it, and remain in your natural condition of unchanging pure awareness.
Sogyal RinpocheJust as the ocean has waves or the sun has rays, so the minds's own radiance is its thoughts and emotions.
Sogyal RinpocheThe whole of meditation practice can be essentialized into these 3 crucial points: Bring your mind home. Release. And relax!
