 1 1|               practice in training the mind, for the mind has all sorts
 2 1|             training the mind, for the mind has all sorts of deceptions
 3 1|         mindful to keep watch over the mind. You have to make an effort
 4 1|             focused contemplation, the mind won't be able to give rise
 5 1|        beginning level, this means the mind won't give rise to any unwise
 6 1|         not-self. You have to keep the mind thinking and labeling solely
 7 1|                 This is what keeps the mind completely hidden from itself. ~
 8 1|        thoughts or labels arise in the mind, then if you focus on watching
 9 1| thought-formation. In other words, the mind gives rise to memories of
10 1|             all. Even the meanings the mind gives to good and bad sensory
11 1|               all, and this drives the mind around in circles. In other
12 1|             things at all. ~But if the mind keeps its balance or stops
13 1|           pleasure or pain -- when the mind knows, it doesn't cling.
14 1|             When it doesn't cling, the mind can stay at normalcy. Empty.
15 1|              ways of playing up to the mind to keep it attached to them,
16 1|              is simply a matter of the mind's falling for the deceits
17 1|                to keep watch of as the mind, because it's so accustomed
18 1|                gain knowledge into the mind, or into consciousness with
19 1|            that's quiet and still. The mind stops to watch, to know
20 1|                as bad. This is why the mind stays entirely in the whorls
21 1|              in front of us: where the mind fashions things and gives
22 1|               thinking going on in the mind, simply watch it, simply
23 1|                will occur. Even if the mind doesn't stop completely,
24 1|                 not just on making the mind still. Focus on seeing clearly.
25 1|         contemplate how to let go. The mind will become empty in line
26 2|         attachment for them out of the mind? Why is it that people studying
27 2|                It doesn't sink in. The mind keeps latching onto its
28 2|               attachments. ~But if the mind can gain true insight to
29 2|                changes in the body and mind there won't be too much
30 2|               a mental phenomenon, the mind, in charge. These are things
31 2|                matters that add to the mind's suffering and stress.
32 2|            stress and suffering in the mind, it's always getting in
33 2|              the way. ~This is why the mind is always wanting to shift
34 2|                or yours. Don't let the mind stop short of this knowledge:
35 2|                within yourself. If the mind doesn't know the truths
36 3|                thinking goes wild. The mind goes out of control. Some
37 3|        meditation how you can make the mind still. Once it does grow
38 3|       stillness, you can't let go. The mind may come to know this or
39 3|              it's especially hard. The mind will keep falling for things,
40 4|       Equanimity~The sensations of the mind are subtle and very volatile.
41 4|               there are times when the mind is perfectly normal, and
42 4|             all stressful, so that the mind won't go and get engrossed
43 4|            hard to notice, because the mind is at equanimity in an oblivious
44 4|               as feelings and pull the mind out of its state of being
45 4|           feeling of equanimity as the mind gathers and settles down,
46 4|            absorption. ~If you get the mind to grow still in equanimity
47 4|               your attachments. If the mind gets into a state of oblivious
48 4|            Buddha laid down: Focus the mind into a state of absorption
49 4|             any further changes in the mind and, when there are, see
50 4|              can know in this way, the mind will rise above feeling,
51 4|             see clearly. Even when the mind is concocting all sorts
52 4|              that remains is the empty mind -- the mind maintaining
53 4|               is the empty mind -- the mind maintaining its balance
54 4|          examining the diseases in the mind, not just one. Even though
55 4|               So focus on in until the mind stops, until it reaches
56 4|                to come in and know the mind. Get the mind centered,
57 4|             and know the mind. Get the mind centered, at equanimity,
58 5|                or mental distress, the mind will struggle because it
59 5|            pain turns to pleasure, the mind likes it and is content
60 5|               not really ours. But the mind doesn't see this. All it
61 5|                close to home. When the mind changes, or when it gains
62 5|           right there, right where the mind relishes the flavor of feeling
63 5|               craving. This is why the mind has to be fully aware of
64 5|             peace and emptiness in the mind, we're still infatuated
65 5|                to detect. But when the mind grows still -- steady, cool,
66 5|                how craving fastens the mind so firmly to feelings that
67 5|                to see clearly that the mind is stuck right here at feeling
68 6|              your words, quiet in your mind. Only then will you be able
69 6|               sensory contact, can the mind stay continuously undisturbed
70 6|                firmly established, the mind won't waver. If it's not
71 6|              If it's not yet firm, the mind will waver in the form of
72 6|                flaws that arise in the mind. If you can do this, you'
73 6|                ll be able to keep your mind protected -- better than
74 6|         exclusively in the area of the mind like this, you'll be able
75 6|              seep in and influence the mind so that it gets carried
76 6|               way that doesn't let the mind become attached to the flavors
77 6|              doing here is to make the mind stop taking pleasant feelings
78 6|            them away, so don't let the mind love pleasure and resist
79 6|            both. Give it a try. If the mind can let go of feelings so
80 6|            path will you practice? The mind latches onto these things
81 7|      examination of the viruses in the mind gets more and more subtle.
82 7|                slip in and fashion the mind -- which are simply the
83 7|             will enable us to read the mind. If your awareness goes
84 7|                slips in to fashion the mind, you have to be wise to
85 7|         shouldn't try to close off the mind too much. Simply keep watch
86 7|              practice in this way, the mind will be dark. It may get
87 8|        anything, for actually once the mind is empty, that means it
88 8|        emptiness doesn't mean that the mind is annihilated. All that'
89 8|       emptiness of self -- and yet the mind can still function, know,
90 8|             the emptiness of the still mind, free from thought-formations
91 8|             the emptiness of the still mind as the void -- and so we
92 8|             you simply have to let the mind be empty without labeling
93 8|       particular, knowledge of how the mind changes. ~So to start out,
94 8|             reason, when you train the mind or contemplate the mind
95 8|                mind or contemplate the mind to the point of gaining
96 9|           Heart~Once you can read your mind correctly, you can catch
97 9|                insight meditation. The mind becomes razor sharp, just
98 9|       uprooting the defilements in the mind. There's no other work nearly
99 9|               look after that state of mind and contemplate how to keep
