Short piece of advice to a student (2004)
David Quinn

 

Enlightening the mind, so it rests effortlessly in Reality, doesn't happen overnight.   It takes years of mindfulness, constantly applied day after day.

Just keep things simple.   Focus your mind on the core truth of all life, namely, that all things are causally created and lack intrinsic existence.  Then, from that position, let your mind roam naturally.   Don't be too upset when you find yourself engaging in 'worldly temptations' and the like.  It's your karma.  It's nothing to be ashamed about.  When you become aware again, just focus the mind on the core truth.  Slowy, by force of habit, your mind will begin to centre on the nature of Reality, and this, in turn, will gradually alter your entire being.
