Looking at One's Own Mind and Heart by Lung Pu Fan Acharo Sit and make yourself comfortable.
Sit in meditation posture, your right leg on top of your left leg, your right hand on top of your left hand.
Establish your body in comfort.
What we want is a state of pleasure and ease.
Let go of posturing and predilections and make yourself at ease, dignified and majestic, happy and clear.
You don't have to push or pull.
Let go and be at ease.
Once our body is at ease, let the heart go into a state of ease.
Thus you can reflect on the meditation words, Buddho, Dhammo, Sangho, Buddho, Dhammo, Sangho, three times.
Then reflect on the single word, Buddho, Buddho.
Close your eyes.
Close your mouth.
Recollect in the heart.
Buddho is knowing.
And where does knowing abide? Our eyes focus on the place that knows Buddho.
Look intently at what we want to know.
The ears go down to listen at the place of knowing.
Our mindfulness is fixed on contemplation.
Look at the knowing right there.
Don't send the heart out ahead or bring it back behind, to the left or right, above or below.
Establish it right in the midst of the knowing.
Where does knowing abide? We're focused right there.
You don't have to search for it.
Let everything go.
