"... Ignorance of our true nature is the root of all (mental) torment..., and the root of ignorance itseld is the mind's habitual tendency to distraction.
To end the mind's distraction would be to end (all suffering)...; the key to this... is to bring the mind home to its true nature, through the practice of meditation."
"Take care not to impose anything on the mind. When you meditate, there should be no effort to control, and no attempt to be peaceful. Don't be overly solemn or feel that you are taking part in some special ritual; let go even of the idea that you are meditating. Let your body remain as it is, and your breath as you find it.
Think of yourself as the sky, holding the universe."
Distracted? Take short breaks, alert yourself and then try again.
