Download or read book Urban Meditation Skills written by Venerable Fedor Stracke and published by Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success in meditation is often elusive, even for those of us that have meditated for a long time. It depends a great deal upon the fact that we actually practice meditation, and with a regularity and continuity that cannot be attained through mere discipline alone. We need to have the comfort factor in our practice, and take care that we are a happy meditator. To be a happy meditator, it is important that over time the meditation becomes an antidote against disturbing thoughts, because only a lessening of disturbing thoughts can produce the inner happiness that one is looking for. The meditation needs to hit the spot. Otherwise our meditation will drive on one side of the highway, and our delusions happily on the other side of the highway in the other direction, leaning out of the windows, waving and jeering at us.
