When you leave your mind as it is, it will become calm. This is called Big Mind. -- Suzuki Roshi
Leave your mind as it is and open your awareness to the world around you. When was the last time you really tasted your food, or really heard the birds sing? Do you really listen to the rain? Do you really listen to your family, your friends? Meditation is not just us alone on a cushion. Meditation is us in a world of interconnection; us opening fully to the world as it is. Our minds become calm enough to allow us to participate in the world around us. We are happier when we feel connected to the world around us. You are more than your to-do list.
