A Translucent Being

Begin with a candle to train sensitivity, then carry the feeling that 'light is everywhere' into flowers, leaves, stones, and the whole world.

Open-endedCore: Witnessing

Practice style

  1. In a dim room, look at a small candle with a quality of love and prayerfulness.
  2. Let the eyes become sensitive rather than staring forcefully.
  3. Then bring the same sensitivity into ordinary things throughout the day.
Do Not Lose the Witness
The method is only an entrance. Whether it uses breath, dance, sound, darkness, sitting, or relationship, what matters most is gradually seeing what is happening rather than only chasing an experience.
