Buddhist Meditation
Buddhism, MeditationA disciple asked my master what should he do about the thoughts, which seems to be uncontrollable.
And his reply was “Don’t care about it!” (and continue meditation), and dismissed the disciple.
If you do not care about the thoughts, you are not holding on to it. (and continue meditation) If you care about the thoughts, or wish to control Thoughts with Thoughts, then you will never let go of it.
The arising of thoughts are like gifts - if you do not accept it and continue meditation, then the thoughts won’t affect you.
In meditation, we must live in the Present (and be aware of it all). Holding on to thoughts is like living in the Past.
