Quote of the day - May 4th

You use the mantra to help your mind achieve one-pointed concentration. This is only for the beginning of the sitting, to help you concentrate and reach a calm state before you drop all other methods of concentration. After that, you will just sit and hold your mind. Each practitioner experiences calmness differently. Some may soon find their minds filling again with thoughts, visions of lights, or various reactions. This is part of mind training. As long as you remember that you are the observer of these phenomena, you will not be attracted or distracted by them, and you will remain calm! (D-820421-2)
