Meditation is ...

4/21/2018

 
Meditation is the one and only answer to all the questions we have about existence, for which we have no answers.

Meditation is a sophisticated inner technology, which can transport us from loneliness to an experience of wholeness and connectedness with all of phenomena, an experience that is both within and beyond time and space.

Meditation is a blissful inner journey from past and future, to present; from unknown to known; from slave to master; from somebody to nobody; from nobody to everybody; from sleep to dream; and from dream to full awakening.

Meditation is the beautiful process of melting and dissolving the hard, heavy, rigid part of life, making life as gentle, light, and flexible as water.

Meditation is the beautiful and powerful practice of improving the quality of our life by developing the innate infinite potential of our mind, a potential of purity, clarity, stability, tranquility, intelligence, creativity, loving kindness, and bliss.

Meditation is an inner science leading us in searching, finding, and abiding in our ultimate nature of reality, realizing who we are, where we come from, and what we are moving towards.

    Sometimes our Teachers write commentaries on various teachings, prayers, and rituals, and sometimes they simply have short profound quotes.  We would like to share them with you here, as well as post occasional notes about special events.
