The Great Secret of Mind

(Chris Devlin) #1

might not be able to train frequently, as our time schedule allows, we should
remember to sit down daily for meditation. Whatever anxiety we incur, due to
sickness, conflict, aggression, or loss of profit, and so on, through the power of this
training we will not become so attached to external objects: thereby suffering is
alleviated. The more the mind is concentrated, the fewer mistakes will occur in
any task. There is no better advice than this to benefit this life and the next.
As Longchenpa says in his Collected Fragments,


At the beginning, let go of worldly concerns;
In the middle, retreat to a place of seclusion;
At the end, arrive at consummation.
This advice is favorable to this life and the next.
