Engagement through Meditation
You
know in Vietnam, when you sat during the war, when you sat in the
meditation hall and heard the bombs falling, you had to be aware that
the bombs are falling and people are dying. That is part of the
practice. Meditation means to be aware of what is happening in the
present moment—to your body, to your feelings, to your environment. But
if you see and if you don’t do anything, where is your awareness? Then
where would your enlightenment be? Your compassion? In order not to get
lost, you have to be able to continue the practice there, in the midst
of all that.
