Today I would like to ask you all, are you sure yet? Are you certain in your meditation practice? I ask because these days there are many people teaching meditation, both monks and lay people, and I'm afraid you may be subject to wavering and doubt.
When sitting in meditation, we are told to close our eyes, not to look at anything else, because now we are going to look directly at the mind.
We establish our attention on the breath, center our feelings there, put our mindfulness there.
When the factors of the path are in harmony, we will be able to see the breath, the feelings, the mind and mental objects for what they are.
Here we will see the focus point, where samadhi and other factors of the path converge in harmony.
