An Act of Nonduality
Meditation should not be regarded as a learning process. It should be regarded as an experiencing process. You should not try to learn from meditation but try to feel it… Meditation is an act of nonduality. The technique you are using should not be separate from you; it is you, you are the technique. Meditator and meditation are one. There is no relationship involved.
Please Note: As you may have noticed, the audio on the site is not working at this point -- this includes all of the audio talks by Trungpa Rinpoche and other teachers, as well as our many audio interviews....
