“Vedana”Robert B.

I have ample time to practice bare attention, having a pleasant feeling, in my heart, “not to hold on”Epstein or a feeling of impartiality in my mind that is generated when I “learn”Epstein to “not hold on”Epstein, even not “holding on”Epstein to the “pleasant”Epstein feeling in my mind. “The self is not in the body and the body is not in the self, feelings are not self.”Epstein Or “what the Buddha felt”Epstein. Having an “unpleasant”Epstein feeling, “learning”Epstein “not to screen out”Epstein. “Vedana”Robert B. Now it’s pleasant and unpleasant at the same time, again “find a neutral resting place in the mind”Epstein. Neutral feelings are still pleasant because they are not unpleasant. Watching the ebb and flow of feelings, instead of the breath, the Asians had me stop following the breath and instead take up the practice of “Vedana”Robert B. Or the “window into the Buddha Realm”Epstein. If I am cut off from my emotions, then I am walled off from my “true” self. Mindful of “hang back just a bit”Epstein. “Impartiality”Epstein “is the first essential quality of bare attention”Epstein. This “quality of mind”Epstein is a bit scary, but can be learned, and love or joy springs from bare attention. Worry starts to look like the weather, along with the emotions.
