KG,
Some say you should not suppress questions when you meditate, but let
them come and go. Well they come here to stay. It takes time and
effort to make them disappear.

Let them say what they will. I say:
Why assume the role of magician working to perform some disappearing act
when you sit?
This sort of effort, rejecting form, is attachment to form. Thought
forms, forms of effort...
Thoughts present no obstacle to this. They may only appear to (thus
pointing to this).
Cessation is effortless realization. Realization is effortless cessation.
The only hard things in Buddhism are the statues. To sit as serenely,
don't try to become one.

PS - "If you don't use your mind to create mind, every state of mind is
empty and every thought is still. You go from one buddhaland to another.
If you use your mind to create mind, every state of mind is disturbed
and every thought is in motion. You go from one hell to the next." -

Same problem is created by attachment to thinking "well" applies to
meditation! *L*
Your "tip", perhaps pointier than it may appear! ;)

Merle,
I give yo a tip. If you always want questions to be answered, you can
never meditate well.
