This is a mandala made of sand by Buddhist Monks. They take a week to make it then sweep it away. No matter the effort, the beauty, the time it took it will all be swept away. All things are impermanent.

Unsure if coffee increases real productivity or just increases tendency to shitpost on Nostr. Will monitor and report back.

No tradition - because meditation cannot be confined to tradition. Meditation is not about following any fixed path. It is a state of pure consciousness, not a particular act or method.

All techniques can work - whether it's Dynamic Meditation, Vipassana, or simple watching - because if you master one technique deeply, you have mastered them all. But remember, the technique itself is not meditation; it is only a tool to remove obstacles. Meditation itself needs no technique at all.

The essential thing is not the method but your watchfulness, your consciousness. Don't get caught in rigid rules or special postures - meditation is about freedom and playfulness, available to you whenever and wherever you are.

Meditation is the very opposite of tradition - it is about being fresh, alive, and present, not following frozen patterns from the past.
