Tibetan Buddhist Meditation - Uma Neave (Spender)

Allowing is effortless, but it takes effort to not allow this moment. For this moment is already present, already perfectly what it is. In the vastness of your own heart even resistance is allowed. 

Allowing this moment to be what it is

Every experience has infinite dimensions. Can you experience all of them without struggling against any of them? If you can, then suffering comes to an end - so obvious, so simple, so deep, and so wonderful.
-Ken Mcleod 

Introduction 37 Practices

Rely on silence! You become aware of a silence - a silence that is always there, even in your darkest moments, a silence that includes everything and cannot be fathomed, a silence that allows you to listen to your heart, your body and your mind in a way you did not know was possible. Rely on Silence! - Ken Mcleod

37 Practices - Verse 1-3

Compassion isn't some kind of self-improvement project or ideal that we're trying to live up to. Having compassion starts and ends with having compassion for all those unwanted parts of ourselves, all those imperfections that we don't even want to look at.

37 Practices - Homage To Compassion

Give up your life. Give it all up. Do not base your life on what can be taken away from you - wealth, possessions, health, family, friends, fame, respect, even your own life. If you have those, savor them, knowing that they all must come to an end. But do not base your life on holding on to them. - Ken Mcleod

37 Practices - Verse 4-7

Forget about being good or bad. Bring attention to your life. Experience what is actually happening in you. Know what you are doing and how it affects others. - Ken Mcleod

37 Practices, Verse 8-9

What is that stillness, that space, in which reactions arise and disappear? When you look at it, you see nothing at all. It is a bit frightening. It is like looking into the void of outer space. Something in you shrinks back. This is the other level of patience, letting your reactions to infinite nothingness come and go. - Ken Mcloed

37 Practices - Verse 27

A guided meditation into the present moment, connecting with the primordial peace of your own being. Just being here, now, in a place where you have everything you need.
