AN OBJECT IS JUST AN OBJECT

Czech Retreat 2013 Opening Talk

Don’t expect that the experience, what is happening, should be one way or another because whatever happens is just an experience (the function of being something that is known).

For example, which is better? Thinking or not thinking?

It’s the same because you can know that you’re thinking and you can also know you’re not thinking. Experience is just an experience. 

Whether there is sound or no sound, it is also an object. If you have the idea that meditation should be silent, then you become angry when there is any loud sound.
