How can we have the empty mind?
Can we stop thinking?
And he said, we cannot stop thinking.
It was a relief.
I can keep going thinking while I'm sitting.
So yes, you can, because our mind is made for thinking.
Even when you sleep, you may dream, your mind is active.
So we cannot really stop thinking, but what we can do is to not follow thinking.
and just let them go.
Welcome in and bye-bye.
Welcome in is the point.
Not to fight against, but just welcome in.
Even with the pain, when you sit there for a long hour sitting on the cushion, you have pain, pain everywhere.
But welcome, and then it passes.
like magic, but it really happened to me, to everyone.
If you welcome the pain, it will pass.
It's a natural course of time.
Sometimes it's helpful to think that everything is changing, even the pain, even the happiness at the same time.
So it's not about to be attached to nothing, about your thoughts, about
Nothing.
