So, a little blog devoted to one aspect of the Buddhist (or any) self awareness Path. I have a lot of quotes from a lot of teachers, and hope to interject some of my personal experience with coming to live a bit more in the Present.

"....a sense of being that includes thoughts - but not conditioned by thoughts." Chogyam Trungpa.

Chokyi NyimaTeaching on Present Moment Nowness

Here's one:

Thought Free Wakefulness               Chokyi Nyima

If you want to obtain liberation and omniscient enlightenment, you need to be free of conceptual thinking.  Meditation training, in the sense of sustaining the nature of mind, is a way of being free from clinging and the conceptual attitude of forming thoughts, and therefore free from the causes of samsara:  karma and disturbing emotions.  Please do not believe that liberation and samsara is somewhere over there; it is here in oneself.  Thought is samsara.  Being free of thought is liberation.  When we are free of thinking, we are free of thought.
