LAMA SURYA’S AWAKENING NOW PODCAST Ep. 61 – “The Natural Way”
What exactly is natural meditation practice? Lama Surya Das looks at how natural meditation differs from other Buddhist practices and discusses the unique characteristics of the meditation.
Hearing is just hearing, nothing to listen to or think about. Seeing is just seeing, it is just the process. It is naked experience, unmediated by thoughts and concepts, including ‘me’ and ‘mine.’ You see, those ideas are already becoming secondary, tertiary. We are moving further away from direct and unmediated experience. In the hearing, you are just hearing and that’s it. That’s the appropriate functioning of the senses, then we can choose whether to think about it or not.”
– Lama Surya Das
