  1. From the perspective of Dzogchen, shamata (calm abiding) and vipashana (clear seeing or insight) are not separate practices but aspects of the same direct experience.

  2. Too many people struggle with #meditation because they imagine it to be a thing one has to do.

    When in fact it is #nondoing. It is not even a struggle against the mind. It is not a struggle against the environment. Where there is struggle there is no meditation. It is allowing.

    As is, we are.

    As #Dogen says, meditation is the universe breathing through you.
