| Quote of the moment |
| In the meditation of mental quiescence, in the nine states of mind, there is a state where striving must be abandoned; an effortless concentration is necessary at a certain stage. It is effortless: that means your mind becomes very tranquil - with good qualities and its character complete. At that moment, if you make an effort it will disturb the tranquility. So in order to maintain that pure tranquility, effortless effort must be used. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, June 5, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
