Quotation to Ponder
Actually, this practice just about the mind and its feelings. It's not something that you have to run after or struggle for. Breathing continues while working. Nature takes care of the natural processes--all we have to do is try to be aware. Just to keep trying, going inwards to see clearly. Meditation is like this. Ajahn Chah: Taste of Freedom, day 128 from Daily Buddha, Jeff Schmidt.

I like collections of quotes because it gives me different ways to ponder the same things. The book that this quote came from is available from Amazon books. Check out the selection of books on Buddhism at the bottom of this blog. I highly recommend any of them, but especially my favorites are by Thich Nhat Hahn and the Dalai Lama. Robert Thurman writes books on Tibetan Buddhism from a westerner's perspective having been the first western Tibetan monk.
