Natural Mind Meditation

Clouds arise, abide and dissolve into space;

thoughts arise, abide and dissolve into Natural Mind.

Introduction to Natural Mind

Natural Mind is like space—one can’t conceive of just how vast it is. We all have an innate, primordially pure, enlightened quality. When we first begin to meditate, we look for the source of our thoughts and emotions, our conceptual mind. Ultimately, the Natural Mind, our inner awareness is revealed.

The Buddha said, "You are your own master." That means that you have an enlightened quality, and with experience, can gain realization ultimate reality.
