About Meditation

Correct meditation means understanding my true self.

The path of this begins and ends by asking, ‘What am I?’ It is very simple teaching, and not special. When you ask this question very deeply, what appears is only ‘don’t know.’ All thinking is completely cut off, and you return to your before-thinking mind. If you attain this don’t-know, you have already attained you true self. You have returned to your original nature, which is mind before thinking arises. In this way you can attain your correct way, and you attain truth, and your life functions correctly to save all beings from suffering. The name for that is ‘wake up.’ This is the experience of true meditation.” Compass of Zen, p8.
