The Buddha Project Reply To: Understanding supporting ’emptiness of absence’ meditation
As Buddhists, we believe that Right Speech takes priority over Free Speech. Put simply, Right Speech means abstaining from gossip and talk which is false, malicious, or harsh. Write only what you believe to be true and relevant, voicing your opinion with kindness and patience. Avoid worldly, partisan, or discriminatory topics and remarks that are patriarchal, misogynist, sexist, racist, anti-semitic, pro-nazi, bio essentialist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic or any other kind of hateful views even if such advocacy is couched in terms of ‘discussing the texts’ or ‘maintaining tradition’.

Which helps me in my meditation on the cushion are the few moments that there is nothing arising in my mind.
At least I expierence for a moment there is no feeling, no sound….no….
However in daily life I find it difficult to find these lovely quiet inner feelings, except when I sit in the garden looking at the dance of the little flies or on the couch and the tv has shut up and doing nothing…….Than I am again close to it….Conclusion or analysis: Next to my meditation sessies on the cushion it is good for me to take more time during the day to simply sit and enjoy..
