Do not try

Gill Washington Ajahn Chah, Buddhist Writings, Enlightenment, Meditation, Spirituality June 17, 2014become, grasp, nothing, sit, walk 0 Comment

By Ajahn Chah

Do not try to become anything.
Do not make yourself into anything.
Do not be a meditator.
Do not become enlightened.
When you sit, let it be.
What you walk, let it be.
Grasp at nothing.
Resist nothing.

If you haven’t wept deeply, you haven’t begun to meditate.
