Science of meditation

Early in the morning 96 minutes (2 muhurtas) before sunrise starts the Brahma Muhurta. When body and mind are tuned with the rhythms of Nature one wakes up naturally when Brahma muhurta starts.

It is during the Brahma muhurta that the Universe is mating and is the most auspicious time together with the Sandya Kalas (there are 4 Sandya Kalas in a day starting 20 minutes prior and ending 20 minutes after sunrise, noon, sunset and midnight when the balance between Ida and Pingala shifts very rapidly) to meditate and plant the seeds of conscious manifestation to create the life you desire.

When meditating it takes 24 minutes (one Gatika) for the prana, the life force, to circulate the body one complete time. So when one meditates in the Brahma Muhurta for one Gatika it is in Yuj with the Universe performing Kriya a completed action, one which does not create Karma.

One simple meditation technique is to be aware of one breathing while sitting Zazen, another is to practice with mantra. One mantra that opens the spiritual heart is loving-awareness. Meditation without object can be looking at the clear sky on a cloudless night or day.

Reflective inquiry

Here are two questions one is one that I read in one of OSHO's transcripts on recounting the meeting of Saraha and the Dakini:

Is not enough enough ?

and the other I picked from Deepak Chopra from a channeling he received:

How can I remain unoccupied ?

Bodhisattva vows from Buddha Purnima 2023 by Tibet House Cultural Center of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in New Delhi shared by Geshe Dorji Damdul

Refuge and Bodhicitta

I go for refuge to the Triple Gem;
I confess the negativities individually;
I rejoice in the virtues of all the beings;
I hold the precious Buddhahood in my heart. (x3)

Gurus, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, please pay heed to me.
Just as the previous Buddhas
Have generated the mind of Bodhicitta,
And just as they successively dwelt
In the Bodhisattva practices,

Likewise, for the benefit of all sentient beings,
I will generate the mind of Bodhicitta,
And likewise, shall I, too,
Successively train in the Bodhisattva practices. (x3)

Throughout my future lifetimes,
May I always be guided by the compassionate Buddha,
And be able to uphold the two precious Bodhicittas,
Even at the cost of my life. (x3)

In order to further increase this (Bodhicitta) from now on,
Those with discernment who have lucidly seized
An Awakening Mind (of Bodhicitta) in this way,
Should highly praise it in the following manner:

Today my life has (borne) fruit;
(Having) well obtained this human existence,
I have been born in the family of the Buddha
And now am one of Buddha's Children.

Thus, whatever actions I do from now on,
Must be in accord with the family.
Never shall I disgrace or pollute
This noble and unsullied race.

Just like a blind man
Discovering a jewel in a heap of rubbish,
Likewise, by some coincidence,
An Awakening Mind has been born within me.

It is the supreme ambrosia
That overcomes the sovereignty of death,
It is the inexhaustible treasure
That eliminates all poverty in the world.

It is the supreme medicine
That quells the world's disease.
It is the tree that shelters all beings
Wandering and tired on the path of conditioned existence.

It is the universal bridge
That leads to freedom from unhappy states of birth
It is the dawning moon of the mind
That dispels the torment of disturbing conceptions.

It is the great sun that finally removes
The misty ignorance of the world.
It is the quintessential butter
From the churning of the milk of Dharma.

For all those guests travelling on the path of
conditioned existence,
Who wish to experience the bounties of happiness,
This will satisfy them with joy
And actually place them in supreme bliss.

Today in the presence of all the Protectors,
I invite the world to be guests
At (a festival of) temporary and ultimate delight,
May gods, demi-gods and all be joyful.

Dedication

I dedicate the merit thus gathered,
Toward the realisation of the deeds and the prayers,
Of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the three times,
And to the upholding of the doctrine of scripture and insight.
May I in all lives, through the force of this merit,
Never separate from the four wheels of the Mahayana vehicle,
And accomplish all the stages of the path,
Renunciation, Bodhicitta, perfect view and the two stages.

From my two collections, vast as space, that I have amassed
From working with effort at this practice for a great length of time,
May I become the chief leading Buddha for all those
Whose mind's wisdom eye is blinded by ignorance.
