Looking at the Sky


Meditating is like looking at the sky. Your mind is the sky, but then you get all these noisy birds flying around. The birds are your thoughts. You have to get rid of the birds. But then, you see a beautiful bird, and you start looking at the bird. You start playing with it, and then you get attached to the bird… You need to get rid off all the birds, and just look at the sky and let the sunshine in.
By removing your wandering thoughts and attachments, you begin to restore your Buddha nature, thus completely recovering your innate abilities.
