The mind is creating it.</li><li>Hold on to the mental image that your mind creates of it.</li><li>See if you can drop the mental image of the body and check to see if there is another one – besides the image – out there.</li><li>See it as coming from the mind.</li><li>Seems like there is something making the image – the projector.</li><li>The projector as a solid fixed thing that is thinking of our mind as self existent. </li><li>Then think about what MK was telling us.</li><li>If there is no body out there. If there is no object there can be no subject state of mind.</li><li>This idea that something is controlling the images – the projector – the subject state of mind, is just something that is ripening for us moment to moment. </li><li>Get the feeling in your mind of how the mental images are coming and going. </li><li>With no one to boss them around they just ripen and go out of existence every moment.</li><li>The experiencing.</li><li>Try to find the highest understanding you have of that and then hold your mind on that.<br /></li><li>Take that understanding that you found and see if that is also just a moment to moment ripening of a mental image. </li><li>Does that understanding that you found exist in truth?<br /></li></ul><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Class Eight Meditation<br /></p><ul><li>Focus on your breath</li><li>Now see your Lama in front of you. </li><li>Think about all the work you’ve done these last four weeks. </li><li>Make an offering to them - especially your efforts to come to a higher understanding of emptiness. </li><li>They are incredibly happy with you. </li><li>They rise up to the top of your head and melt down into you and become part of you. </li><li>Now picture your body as hollow. No organs, no insides, just crystal colored light. Fill every crevice. Go down from the top catching all the little details. </li><li>Along the way you can think about how it would be possible to have this body.</li><li>It and the one you have now are made of the same stuff.</li><li>Now picture a hollow tube about the size of a soda straw coming up where your backbone used to be all the way up to the top of your head. </li><li>It stretches up to the polestar, down to the center of the earth.</li><li>It’s ruby colored.</li><li>Now bring your attention into the tube where your heart used to be. Your thoughts flow by within the tube. Watch them float by.</li><li>Try to feel it.</li><li>Try to move your mind inside the tube so that it’s as if this tube becomes your body and everything else is just outside.</li><li>If you lose it and feel there is an outer body, wrap the outer body around the tube and become the tube again. </li><li>There is no other body besides it.</li><li>Whatever movement there is is all within the tube.<br /></li><li>If you lose feeling of the tube go deep within again.</li><li>Now bring yourself outside that tube and see if there is any other body outside that tube.</li><li>Like a new body you are this body of light. </li><li>All the wisdom you have gained in this course. All the compassion that has grown in you makes the light body brighter. </li><li>Out of your pores comes this radiant light. </li><li>You are like the sun. Your rays touch every being and fill them with understanding of emptiness. </li><li>Now pull all of those light rays into your heart. </li><li>Dedicate everything you have done in this class, all your effort, to seeing emptiness directly.<br /></li></ul><p><br /></p><p>Class Seven First Meditation<br />Peeling away the layers of 'me':<br /></p><ul><li>If someone were to ask you who are you how would you define yourself?</li><li>Try to use as many nouns as you can. </li><li>Maybe you’re seeing that it often depends on who you’re speaking to and what the situation is. That you’re a little different in each one. </li><li>Now take these collection of images that you have of yourself and see if you can start pulling them away like the skin of an onion. </li><li>If you kept pulling away these identities what would be the core you? </li><li>Is there anything about you that doesn’t have to do with the outside? </li><li>With how people think about you, about things you do?</li><li>What if you gave yourself a different name, a different body, a different memory?</li><li>Would you still be you? END MED.<br /></li></ul>Class Seven Second Meditation<br />Using the Ajna Chakra to get to a single point:<br /><ul><li>Remember who you’re doing this for.</li><li>You have to reach a place of stillness and see emptiness directly to end suffering in your world. </li><li>Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth and feel the bump there.</li><li>Draw a straight line up from there.</li><li>Then go to the place between your eyebrows and draw a straight line back. </li><li>At the place where those two lines intersect see a point of light.</li><li>This is your ajna chakra. See that light as the source of your breath. </li><li>The light is like the moon and your breath is like the tide.<br /></li><li>If you lose the light find it again and place your mind there. </li><li>The light dims and brightens.</li><li>Don’t try to control the breath, let it naturally flow like the tide.</li></ul><p><br /></p>oriandnancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09449588569721041693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794379300239630391.post-65869834577652431422009-05-13T22:07:00.001-07:002009-06-10T10:09:00.060-07:00Setting Your Meditation on Fire<div>BokJinpa I is about developing the key to great meditation: Compassion.
