When you can’t sit still, try lying down. It’s OK. Not at the group meditation, but when you’re at home. Sometimes if you can meditate more stably lying down, then just lie down. Or sit on a chair. Make yourself comfortable. Sometimes when we grow old, our body feels less comfortable. Or play my music in the background when you meditate. […]
(Master, I went to mainland China two years ago, but till now I still cannot meditate for enough hours. Sometimes I’d like to meditate, but…) You can’t meditate after going to mainland China? (Yes. It has become like that after coming back.) […] Join the group meditation more often. It’ll be alright. […] It’s not because of mainland China. The problem is with you. You’re too discriminative and you resent others. You block yourself. […] You’ve lost your blessed reward yourself, and then blame others. What do “mainland” or “small land” have to do with that?
(Does it mean if we try our best to avoid contact with outside people and try to do more retreats, then we will progress quicker?) Doing retreat once in a while is OK. That’s why we hold 3-day or 7-day retreats from time to time. Or you can, in your Center, sometimes organize a 1-day, 2-day, or 3-day retreat. Don’t you do that? (Yes.) That is also for your convenience. Otherwise, you can’t shut yourselves in retreat the whole day long, every day. Then what about your family? Understand?
They have already transcended to a higher realm, but he dragged them back and disturbed them, also annoying me. This is what makes me very tired. I’m tired not because of liberating you, or because of shouldering your karma, or because of other reasons. No. No, no, no. It’s always these things annoying me. We ought to have better demeanor. And be good friends. For example, when we like someone and know what he likes, then we should do what he likes, so that we can maintain our friendship longer. We already know what he doesn’t like, and we still desperately do the same every time. Then he would be annoyed to death. Understand? How can you keep that friend? The same also applies to marriage. Right? (Yes.)
