Join 📚 Armand's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
To practice mindful walking on your own, you can begin by making a contract with a staircase: you vow that you will always go up or down that staircase mindfully, with very solid steps. If it happens that halfway up you realize that one of your steps didn’t have your true presence in it, you go down and begin again.
One day in lecture Suzuki Roshi said, “When you are completely absorbed in your breathing, there is no self. What is your breathing? That breathing is not you, nor air. What is it? It is not self at all. When there is no self, you have absolute freedom. Because you have a silly idea of self, you have a lot of problems.”
