Over and over again in our meditation ... - Dhamma by Ajahn Jayasāro
Over and over again in our meditation practice we return to the breath with an unwavering determination to free the mind from all that imprisons it. We relate to the experience of the breath with a mind that is bright, attentive and wakeful, firm and kind. We observe the quality and intensity of our effort and adjust it when necessary. We abandon all love for distraction. Learning how to be with the breath, we learn how to be with all experience. As we progress, the distinction between the mind in meditation and in daily life begins to dissolve
