MONKEY MEMO: daily update

Light and shadow:

BUDDHA MEDITATION

Step one: Organize

Put a Buddha-statue in front of a blank wall.

Place a burning candle and incense in front of it.

Take your distance (about 10 feet, 3 meters) and

make yourself comfortable.

Step two: Imprinting

Concentrate on the Buddha and its patterns of light and darkness (shadow). Through these effects several aspects of the Buddha show themselves. You even can see different entities and manifestations of the Buddha-intelligence.

The same happens, when you study the shadows.

A third way is more difficult and seemingly darker.

Concentrate on the shadow and imagine that this the reality, that projects itself into your world, through the image of the Buddha you use.

Step three: Visualize

Now, close your eyes and try to visualize, what you just saw.

Step four: Reflection

My guess is, that  you will find it quite difficult.

Instead, when I ask you to visualize your boyfriend or wife, the results will surprise you.

The lesson is:

Pay as much attention to the mythical/spiritual world, as you do to your social network "obligations".
