Then in the space of that spaciousness, almost awestruck, just be. We would all like to find the perfect teacher and the perfect practice, rather than make the effortourselves. For some people, breathing meditation is too close to them, like mind looking at mind naked, so an alternative practice is that of concentration meditation. Rest your mind lightly on an object or image, preferably one which holds positively inspiring and opening associations for you. Soon you become aware of the suchness of theobject, beyond the solidexternal form.
Awareness is nolonger ifferentiating or grasping.
At first practice may be exciting, then boring or even painful. Persevere but with a sense of humor. After a while you will discover a personal style and rhythm. Then you are ready to see a teacher who can advise and guide you in your practice, since there is a shared space of experience. You no longer need technique.
