By Tarthang Tulku
A famous Tibetan Lama once said of meditation, "The best water is rocky water". As the water continues it's flow over the rocks, it' s quality improves and is purified. So the best meditation is one that is flowing and free - with nothing to hold on to - for once we hold a position, we are brought to a standstill by our grasping. How much more beautiful is the freedom to flow to the higher meditative states!
When another master was asked, " When you are concentrating, where is your concentration"?He answered that there was no subject, no position, no goal.
As we experience this deeper level of meditation, we find that the nature of mind is meditation. And this, itself, is actually the enlightened experience. this experience is free from everything and yet at the same time , it manifests all and everything.
This itself is liberation.
