Going Nowhere

While practicing meditation each night after coming back from the New Year Retreat, I also continued to read and refer to the 2 books: With Each & Every Breath and Keeping the Breath in Mind.

Each night, I meditated only about 30-40 minutes. The more I practiced, the more I felt my meditation skill went nowhere. My mind only wandered around to other preoccupied thoughts. My mind could not stay with my in-and-out breath.  And there were noises all the time; showering, washing machine, music, door knocking, walking up and down stairs..... 😄

I need to find a better spot. Well, finding the right spot was less of a problem than to stay with the breath. Regardless, I still determined to continue to practice.

Another lesson I learned from Ajahn Geoff was to TALK LESS and to LISTEN MORE.  I need to remind myself every day on this lesson, plus to HOLD ON MY OPINION after CAREFULLY THINKING about it. I should not lose my self-awareness as I determine to become a better person!

Even going nowhere yet, at least I hope I started at the right direction. 

Homage to the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha.
