Two Sides Of Enlightenment
- Enlightenment combines transcending and utterly being present as two complementary truths.
- The Buddha's name Tathagata signals both 'thus gone' and 'thus come', embracing both qualities.
Center Attention On The Heart
- Bring attention to your own heart as the center of feeling rather than the thinking brain.
- Use the heart as the source to develop warmth, friendliness and benevolence.
Generate Kindness As Warm Light
- Generate kindness as a warm light from your heart and imagine it filling your body.
- Push energy and attention to sustain this warmth and let it spread beyond your skin into the room.
