ED; I understand. Sitting down by oneself requires to have a very strong will. It doesn't come easy to me either. In fact still need from my sangha once a week sitting down with them in order to keep daily discipline. I take my hat to everyone here in the forum who can do this by themselves alone. It's not a good idea to sit down having an expectation of some kind as for instance the one you are pointing out: realising Buddha Nature. There is no realisation of Buddha Nature. That is a notion. There is interconnection, a sense of non separation with the rest of life. If I would be having a purpose when I sit down, the flow of the present moment would be completely loose. It's in that flow that many miracles occur. I'm afraid not be very good to explain. This is why I encourage you to try yourself. Amongst many benefits there is the one of enhancement of the health and well being not just in me but also my surroundings. Mind that this is just my personal experience and not necessarily anybody else experience. Mayka --- On Mon, 1/11/10, ED <seacrofter...@yahoo.com> wrote:
