There IS a "definitive" Text that those of Us who demand Specifics can find EXTREMELY Valuable . It is What The Buddha Taught penned by Wapola Rahula . He is quoted by the Compilers of The Shambala Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen THAT'S how GREAT he is . 2 words : TAKE YOUR TIME , Sanskrit is not E-Z and many of the Terms he uses require PATIENCE . SKIP OVER THEM meaning, DON'T GET TRAPPED BY PRONUNCIATION , it's completely safe to ignore them FOR NOW . His explanations are nothing short of BRILLIANT . HE is the BEST .
Be ever MINDFUL that what we seek from our Travels is a Clear Mind, a Stout Heart, a Perfect Body and a Pure Soul . For this Travel ,,, Meditation is a --->Vehicle .
I exhort my Gentle Readers to begin each morning with a cup of coffee or tea and the MULL . We have heard, "I was just sitting MULLING over a cup of coffee ." I LOVE THIS . The Mull is the first form of Meditation , it is 'time specific' in that it is reserved for the time when one has just arisen whereas deeper into the day Mull becomes Contemplation .
You may think that taking time to Meditate is a ridiculous form of Self-Indulgence , "IT" is NOT ! Know this ; when you Meditate "for yourself" you are, in ActuaLity >>>>SAVING THE WORLD<<<< you won't be able to fully Appreciate "IT" now but as you grOW in Meditation you will see that you are CONNECTING to the World's Psyche .
Tare Forward and Keep the Faith
