Relatively: Phenomena are good and bad, relative to our purposes.

Ultimately: Phenomena are a dynamic, brilliant appearance without permanent identity; free from concepts, inherently meaningful in themselves.

Existential problems are not really existential — they are social.

I suffered from nihilism because I thought meaning had to be added to my experience.

But meaning is already there, just as soon as we stop missing it.

Reality is both empty of concept, and full of something that is greater than concept.

How do you bring the mind to rest in its own nature?

1. Do not prolong the previous thought.

2. Do not beckon the next or future thoughts.

3. Rest nakedly in the nature of fresh awareness of the present moment

Doomscrolling? Trying sitting up straight and breathing deeply.

Posture and breath regulate the nervous system, and unlike the nervous system, we can control the body.
