Meditation

Working on ourselves entails listening to, pondering, and meditating on the teachings with analytical meditation and then with stabilizing meditation.

We need to exert effort to rid ourselves of all obstacles to concentration, such as flightiness and mental dullness, during whatever meditations we may be doing.

Our meditation practice requires us to first analyze and understand the Dharma in order to integrate it into ourselves.

The basis of the meditation on voidness is the identification and understanding of what is to be refuted: the truly established existence of persons and of all phenomena.

To reach enlightenment and benefit all others, we need to regard everyone as equal and instead of cherishing only ourselves, cherish all others as our primary concern.

Listening to, thinking about and meditating on the teachings are the necessary steps on the path to improving ourselves through the Buddhist methods.
