Concentration and Inquiry
It
is essential that you cultivate together and in harmony these twin
elements of concentration and inquiry. Concentration will bring
stability, stillness, and spaciousness; inquiry will bring alertness,
vividness, brightness, and clarity. Combined, they will help you to
develop creative awareness, an ability to bring a meditative mind to all
aspects of your daily life. In this way, meditation becomes both a
refuge and a training: a refuge into being, and a training into doing.
