Nothing Else
If
we have ambitions—even if our aim is enlightenment—then there is no
meditation, because we are thinking about it, craving it, fantasizing,
imagining things. That is not meditation. This is why an important
characteristic of shamatha meditation is to let go of any goal and
simply sit for the sake of sitting. We breathe in and out, and we just
watch that. Nothing else.
