Enjoy Just Sitting
Whatever
technique one is using, remember that the spirit of practice is more
important than the technique. Finding a way to enjoy just sitting is
key. Sitting meditation is a refuge, not a test.

The Poignancy of this Fleeting Moment
Awareness
itself is the primary currency of the human condition, and as such it
deserves to be spent carefully. Sitting quietly in a serene environment,
letting go of the various petty disturbances that roil and diminish
consciousness, and experiencing as fully as possible the poignancy of
this fleeting moment—this is an enterprise of deep intrinsic value, an
aesthetic experience beyond words.
