CALM ABIDING MEDITATION DAY
“Without calm-abiding, our mind is drenched in afflictions and delusions. It is just wandering left and right. The object of meditation does not appear in a clear or stable way and we cannot do anything with out mind. The goal of calm-abiding is to bestow power to our mind, and remove it from our body and the afflictions that are just leading our mind left and right. Once we have attained calm-abiding, the mind becomes powerful. It is autonomous, like a marshal, and at that point we are in control. When we have generated fully qualified calm-abiding, the mind abides fully on the ‘object’ we place it upon without budging. The mind will remain there with the stability and power of a mountain. It is like a servant and we are like its lord. We tell the mind where to go and it does so without complaint." Khensur Kangur Rinpoche (Singapore 2006) YAMANTAKA COMMENTARY RETREAT 7th to 27th October 2008 ILIA DURAVIC Classes in September and October 2008 |
