Meditating with Wisdom

0:03 When we are at the present, then we are awake. We are in the reality. So when you are listening to me or looking at me, but don't pay attention to me. I mean, don't just delude into my image or voice. Just pay attention to yourself. It's this person listening to that person. Report an error in the passage at 0:03 Highlight the passage at 0:03

0:34 So when doing this, then we are aware of the here and now. Here means where you actually are. It's not your GPS position, it's your body and mind. This is where you actually are. No matter where you go, you are always in this body and mind. Report an error in the passage at 0:34 Highlight the passage at 0:34

0:58 And now is the present moment. So basically we just know this. We don't need to have a strong awareness to know this body and mind. Don't concentrate. Concentrate is not something to be done in this stage. At the beginning, we are trying to establish the continuity of awareness. So in order to make our awareness continuous, it is much easier to start with a humble knowing. Report an error in the passage at 0:58 Highlight the passage at 0:58

1:51 Just know in a humble way. Just be a humble knower, tiny knower. Know as weak as you can. Don't be strong. So, it's just like… Report an error in the passage at 1:51 Highlight the passage at 1:51

2:09 Just know in a relaxed way. You don't need to pay any effort. Just know normally and don't close your eyes. Just know as we do in the daily life. But we are not knowing something outside, not knowing the image or voice outside, but know yourself, your body and mind. Report an error in the passage at 2:09 Highlight the passage at 2:09

2:38 And don't, don't, don't, uh, No need to have too much detail in this body and mind. Just know normally. But try to keep it going. Make it continuous. So when you're listening to me now, you're doing this at the same time. Report an error in the passage at 2:38 Highlight the passage at 2:38

3:03 So when this body moves, just know this body moves. When the brain thinks, Just know it's the brain thinks. When there's some feelings or emotions, just know it belongs to this person too. It's not me. I just know as it is. Not know from the perspective of ego. Report an error in the passage at 3:03 Highlight the passage at 3:03

3:32 Just know it belongs to this person, whatever happens in this body and mind, in these five khandhas. It belongs to this person. Snow slightly, that's enough. But more important is to make it continuous. Report an error in the passage at 3:32 Highlight the passage at 3:32

3:52 Continue in a humble way. We may have a lot of agitation or tiredness in the body and mind, but just let it be. We don't need to struggle against it. We don't need to fight or repress it. Just let it be, but we know in a humble way. If there are thoughts, just know they are thoughts. If there's a feeling of tiredness, just know there's a feeling of tiredness. Keeping awareness without enemy. Report an error in the passage at 3:52 Highlight the passage at 3:52

4:35 So don't take anything as your enemy, then you can know without any effort. Now we have... We do some efforts because we have something to defend or offend, right? That means you have an enemy or have something that you believe to be you, which is to be defended against any harms. So this is a wrong thinking. The awareness is awareness. There's no identity within. Report an error in the passage at 4:35 Highlight the passage at 4:35

5:16 And such awareness has no enemy, and therefore it has nothing to defend, nothing to struggle against. Just let it be. Just let the awareness flow. Just flow with the present moment. Because the present moment is not a static point. It is a flow. Report an error in the passage at 5:16 Highlight the passage at 5:16

5:50 Everything happens at the present and immediately becomes the past. So every moment is the same. If we want to live in the present world, we need to be flowing. This status is flowing. It's not a still status. So mindfulness is a flow. We need to keep awareness flowing. Report an error in the passage at 5:50 Highlight the passage at 5:50

6:21 But don't have the thinking that I need to catch up with every moment. There's no one to catch, and then nothing can be caught. Report an error in the passage at 6:21 Highlight the passage at 6:21

6:38 Because every moment, once you catch it, it is not the present moment. It is the past already. So you just open your awareness and surrender your awareness to the present moment. Just give yourself to the present moment. Just like a leaf dropping into the river, just flow with the water. So we just let the mind, let the awareness flow with the present moment. Report an error in the passage at 6:38 Highlight the passage at 6:38

7:10 So you don't need to do anything. You don't need to pay any effort. Just let it go with the present moment. Just flow, keep flowing every moment. The awareness is also flowing. Report an error in the passage at 7:10 Highlight the passage at 7:10

7:30 The awareness of this moment arises and immediately it becomes the past. So just let it go immediately. Even the awareness is not you. When you can keep the awareness flowing, then you are at the present moment. You are here and now. Report an error in the passage at 7:30 Highlight the passage at 7:30

7:58 So just delete the concept to catch, to embrace something as new. That's where I am. Everything is flowing. Whatever you know is flowing. And whatever is knowing is flowing too. Report an error in the passage at 7:58 Highlight the passage at 7:58

8:22 So when you are not in the knowing nor in the known, then you are at the right perspective to know. That is the knowing from nowhere. Report an error in the passage at 8:22 Highlight the passage at 8:22

8:42 The secret of mindfulness is all in the word n-o-w-h-e-r-e so he has two ways to read this word one is now here one is nowhere right so first it says now here that means we need to keep the awareness at now and at here then as i said here means your body and mind and second second step It's to add the perspective of anattā, non-self. There's no me to be known, and there's no me to know. Report an error in the passage at 8:42 Highlight the passage at 8:42

9:31 So there's no me in both knowing and the known. The knowing is not me, and the known is not me. I am nowhere. The knowing is from nowhere. There's a knowing, but there's no knower. So this is the meaning of nowhere. So if you can combine now, here, and nowhere, then this is the right mindfulness. Report an error in the passage at 9:31 Highlight the passage at 9:31

10:04 So first step is to have the now, here, continuing. You're continuously in the now, here. And the second, just add the perspective of wisdom into it. Report an error in the passage at 10:04 Highlight the passage at 10:04

10:22 There is a no one knowing. It is a knowing knowing, but not me. Even the knower is not me. Just let the knowing knows. It is the nature knows nature. It is the dharma knows dharma. Know me. Report an error in the passage at 10:22 Highlight the passage at 10:22

11:56 This is an awakened mind. And this is a foundation for meditation. Now, this is the right mindfulness. If we don't have the right mindfulness, we don't have the right samādhi. If we don't have the right mindfulness, we don't have vipassanā. Report an error in the passage at 11:56 Highlight the passage at 11:56

12:19 So either samatha or vipassanā is built on the foundation of right mindfulness. Report an error in the passage at 12:19 Highlight the passage at 12:19

12:34 So if you can keep the right mindfulness going like this, then you will gradually build up the stability. The stability of mindfulness is samādhi itself. It comes from a long time continuing mindfulness. But it should be the right mindfulness, then you'll be a right samādhi. If it is a wrong mindfulness, then you'll be a wrong samādhi. Report an error in the passage at 12:34 Highlight the passage at 12:34

13:10 So just remember, now, here, and nowhere, you can check with yourself. Are you still with the now here and nowhere? If it is, then just keep it going. Report an error in the passage at 13:10 Highlight the passage at 13:10

13:31 Don't disturb it. There's no one meditating now. There's no one be mindful now. It is these five khandhas. Report an error in the passage at 13:31 Highlight the passage at 13:31

13:48 So just sit normally. You can keep your eyes open or eyes closed. It's okay. But personally, I would advise before your awareness becomes stable and continuous for a certain period of time without any disturbance, then you don't close your eyes. So build up your continuous awareness first. Build up your mindfulness first before you close your eyes. Report an error in the passage at 13:48 Highlight the passage at 13:48

14:26 This is a very important step. And in daily life, daily practice, you can take this as kind of preliminary practice before meditation, before formal meditation. Report an error in the passage at 14:26 Highlight the passage at 14:26

14:44 Because most of us have strong five hindrances. Every day we are tired, we are agitated, we have an excited brain. To start the meditation. And once you sit down and close your eyes, you immediately drop into the hindrances. Report an error in the passage at 14:44 Highlight the passage at 14:44

15:09 So if it is the case, then keep your eyes open. Try to build up the stability of mindfulness with your eyes open in the external world first. Because the external world is... More stable than the world in your brain at the beginning stage. It is much stable. So just like if we want to lit a fire, we need to have a... Report an error in the passage at 15:09 Highlight the passage at 15:09

15:39 We cannot do it in a windy environment. We need to protect the fire first when it's just newly lit. Report an error in the passage at 15:39 Highlight the passage at 15:39

15:53 So our mindfulness is the same. At the beginning, it's very weak. It's difficult to be continuous. So keep your eyes open to ensure that you have an environment that has not so strong winds. When you close your eyes, you drop into the thoughts and the tiredness in the brain. Then it's just like a windy environment. Report an error in the passage at 15:53 Highlight the passage at 15:53
