Sacred Equation
~ Ajahn Dtun
You eat three or four meals a day to nourish your body, and yet you rarely think to nourish your heart, your mind. Rather than sit in meditation just once, you make all kinds of excuses as to why you don’t have time. Ajahn Chah would ask people who liked to make such excuses: ‘Do you have the time to breathe?’ He also said: ‘If you have time to breathe, you have time to meditate’, meaning that in truth we always have the time to focus our mindfulness on the breath.
The wise know that the practice can be done at all times.
