MEDITN - Use all your attention and strength patiently to push your mind to the very dead end of consciousness; just push it on and on.

B Those who determine to practice the Dharma should believe firmly the teachings of Mind-only. Buddha said, “All the Three Kingdoms are mind, all ten thousand Dharmas are consciousness.”

All Buddhism is but an exposition of this sentence. Ignorance or enlightenment, virtue or wickedness, cause or effect, are nothing but one's own mind. Not one iota of anything exists outside of Mind.

The Zen yogi should completely cast aside former knowledge and understanding. Here scholarship or cleverness is useless. Rather, look on the whole world as hallucinatory. What you see are mirages, mirror-images, like the moon reflected in the water. The sounds heard are hymns of the wind blowing through the trees.

BK Every two hours, I put a brake on my mind and tongue and become quiet: just a minute to be peaceful. I stop, relax, recharge and then re-enter the flow of daily activities.

DTH= NON FNALITY X IRREVERSISBILITY

Understanding death does not require grasping its inevitability or its unpredictability, nor does it require understanding that death applies to all living things or being familiar with its underlying physiological causes. In minimal terms, the concept of death is simply made up of two notions: non-functionality and irreversibility. This means that all an animal needs to grasp in order for us to be able to credit her with some understanding of death is that dead individuals don’t do the sorts of things that living beings of her kind usually do (ie, non-functionality) and that this is a permanent state (ie, irreversibility). This minimal concept of death requires very little cognitive complexity and is likely to be very widespread in the animal kingdom.
