Meditate by Letting Your Mind Be As It Is

How to do nothing in meditation, and just let your mind be as it is?
 
In this video, Mingyur Rinpoche discusses the true nature of the mind. No matter what we experience, it always appears within our awareness. This awareness has no limitations and can hold anything and everything we encounter – whether pleasant or painful, happy or sad, or anything in between. During the practice of meditation, the most important point is to simply be as you are, without doing anything extra.

This monthly teaching is from Tergar’s Vajrayana Online platform. To learn more about the theory and practice of resting in the mind’s true nature, join our Dzogchen Immersion course.

• Does reflecting on the way Mingyur Rinpoche is presenting mind and awareness impact your everyday experience, if so, how? And what happens when you contemplate awareness as unchanging like a mountain and clear like the sky?
