What is meditation so counter-intuitive? Isn't it because of the self-deception? This talk is a unique meditation practice. What one needs to do is just listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Meditation is the simplest way to let us have such a life.

A simple,

Beautiful,

Meaningful,

Joyful,

Peaceful life.

But the self,

The ego,

Is very complicated.

Extremely complicated.

Such a simple life is a real challenge to that ego.

Such a simple life can sound difficult,

Sound complicated to that ego.

The ego is always curious about whether there is something simpler than this method.

In that distorted perception,

The mind,

The self,

Keeps seeking something simpler.

In that very seeking of something simpler,

Meditation is becoming difficult.

So to meditate is a real fight against this self-deception,

Self-distorted perception.

To meditate is to have the psychological mutation immediately.

Or else the mind will be trapped in that thoughts forever.

That's why it is so important to take the mental actions now.

That's to imitate the thoughts,

To have the full awareness to live a life moment by moment.

You have to find out for yourself,

This is the only way to a peaceful,

Meaningful,

Joyful life.
