Do not try to become anything

Sometime go outside and sit,
In the evening at sunset,
When there’s a slight breeze that touches your body,
And makes the leaves and the trees move gently.
You’re not trying to do anything, really.
You’re simply allowing yourself to be,
Very open from deep within,
Without holding onto anything whatsoever. Don’t bring something back from the past, from a memory.

Tsogni Rinpoche

Do not try to become anything. Do not make yourself  into anything.

Do not be a meditator. When you sit, let it be. When you walk, let it be.

Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing.

Ajahn Chah
