Hello, just a delay. So how to practice meditation regularly? So this is very, very important.
So there's one funny example traditional funny example. I don't know, should I tell you or not? Maybe you already knew Did I mention in joy of living videos? Anyway, I will tell you.
So, that example is how to make consistent about your practice. The example is like all cow pee. So, the when all cow peas not much at the beginning, a little bit by bit by bit and long, you know, not easily and so, the practice also have to do like that, so, not too much at one time, okay, I'm gonna practice meditate two hours will be fantastic.
And then maybe Okay, today maybe it will be fantastic. Then tomorrow, if you expect something fantastic three hours, but in that time, it may not be too much fantastic. We just fantastic next day, another exciting fantastic three hours and that time funded fantastic god okay three hours and after that, even though Okay, not okay three hours, and then two hours and then one hour and then God and then Nirvana.
Now, no meditation for many, many, many many days. So, it will become like on off. So, and this is become like young copy. So, young copy a lot and finish food right. So, don't do like that, when you practice meditation, so, how to practice you need to practice every day bit by bit.
And another example for that, the water falling into the big container 123 like that, even though the water is very little, just just top you know, but in the end, even big container will be full of water.
This is why you need to build up some kind of a habit to practice every day.
And there are two ways to do it, one is formal, one is informal.
For the formal, maybe you you promise yourself every day I want to practice 10 minutes or 15 minutes a half hour.
Which is you can do easily. So, then regularly you have to practice that and another one is informal practice.
You can do many different methods because you can meditate everywhere anytime, right.
The main point here is why we need to why we need this meditation like all copy, because at the beginning, if we have, if we have big expectation about meditation, I wonder meditate nicely. Very good, fantastic, will be nice for that expectation.
It may become a problem because of high expectation. Then you have stumped attachment stump grasping with your meditation experience, then meditation will not become good because of the high expectation.
So to let go of high expectation and this way, at the beginning, very important that don't think that your meditation is very nice. Will be fantastic one to meditate. Good quality, struggling. So what do you everything, I will try my best to meditate. And I will use my effort, my wisdom, my knowledge, whatever you have effort and everything, try my best, but maybe my meditation will be good this time, maybe not good.
It's okay for me. So what I have to do is try my best.
So you try your best, and your mind, don't too tight on the result. This is very important. So this way you will have balanced, you try your best. So you will not become too loose. But your mind Don't fixate on the result, you are accepting meditation experience is also impermanent, may go up and down.
But the beginning, I've been down by slowly, I've been down less less less. In the end, if you have realization, direct realization, when you have direct realization, then you will your mind totally gone beyond go beyond of experience, then a steady never change.
So until that step by step, so you have to do bit by bit. And another and also very important is when you how much develop our meditation, how much develop our inner experience of meditation, realization of meditation, sometimes we don't know. So if we meditate every day, how much you are pre K, progressing, we don't know. But if you compare, let, let's say, day one to day 30. Everyday you practice. Then when you reach day 30 if you look backward, then you might see the difference between Dave day one and day 30 you might see improvement. But if you practice day to day every day, you might think still I'm not improved.
Still, I'm the same as before. So might you might try that that's okay, no problem. Don't worry.
So now, very important thing is you when you meditate at the beginning, don't expect too much. And then second important thing is you have to practice meditation like bit by bit with formal and informal and and the third important thing is when you meditate with informal and formal in everyday life.
Don't mind don't fix about your experience except experience impermanent. And then progress is the real progress is come step by step. So don't worry. Today I meditate tomorrow. I am become enlightened. If you don't have like that. Don't worry. It's okay.
