Aloha. My name is Sophia
I have always been curious about people and religions. In this situation I'd like to focus on one of my morning meditation with a Tibetan monk. I have high regards and respect for those who have high regards and respect for humanity and the unseeing spirits of the naked eyes.
After we were settled in, inside a meditation room of about 20, the first practice was the concentration and awareness of breathing in and breathing out. Focus on breaths. Nothing else.
Second, focus on breath and nothing else. If the mind is distracted, remind self to comeback to breath.
Now focus on sending love and compassion to our fellow humanity and all other beings. Ok, sounds familiar right? Fine, let's skip to the end for brief questions and answers.
Me: "Master, I find it very hard to stay in silent mind because I kept on seeing images coming and going constantly."
Master: "That is not a bad thing.""
Curious mind wants to know, so follow the question..
Me: "Master, what do you see when you are in a state of silence? Do you see images too?"
Master: "No."
This is a very real event and til this day I still don't know if it's good or not so for the fact that he can't see any images. Is nothingness the ultimate state? Nothing?
I see images all the time. Ok, I should just stop right now. What are your thoughts.
Aloha!
