How to Just Cultivate Spiritually

Just recite Mantra at all times and all places. Persons? Just mind. You or others, no you and no others, it doesn’t make a difference. Any details, any karmas. No difference. Just come through. Come through with Mind, at all times and all places, just concentrate. That’s the meaning of recite Mantra, inner concentration, pure Mind concentration. When the Mantra is always there, naturally, that’s the beginning of real samadhi. Uninterruptible, Vajra samadhi. Whenever you hear the word recitation mentioned anywhere, whenever you hear the word Mantra, that’s the meaning of Mantra and recitation. Mantra is mind, and the only way to use it is pure concentration. Nothing else.

Just be aware of the breath. Awareness from a Mantra samadhi is different from your usual awareness. It cultivates the body and breath perfectly. A mantra is the Vajra Mind and Vajra Body of a Buddha, and the Vajra Samadhi too, the perfect energy of that Vajra Samadhi. Bringing that into the breath and body is different from your human attention and your human karma. Very different. Perfect. You wish your own being was like that, and in a way, primordially, in a very distant way, it is. Your own being is just a Vajra Buddha, but unless you have the primordial Vajra Samadhi of a Buddha Mantra, that’s just a story. So be aware of the breath, concentrate with Mantra and unite Mantra and breath. That’s it. Just do that.

Just cultivate emptiness. Absolute emptiness. People like to talk a lot about this or that, the nature of mind, the nature of the universe, how to reach it, how to measure it, all of it empty talk, all of it just an attempt at restraining emptiness and getting an imaginary hold on the immensity of it all. Just cultivate emptiness, pure and simple, and you’ll be allright. There’s no measuring Vajra Emptiness, no grasping it, no holding it. It will cut you, and that’s good. The more Vajra Emptiness cuts you, the more undying and indestructible you become. So enter the fray and be fearless, my friend, Vajra Emptiness awaits.

Ultimately, just concentrate with mantra. Mantra is mind, concentration is samadhi, Mantra concentration is Vajra Emptiness. Regarding the breath, there is such a thing as a breath body. That’s what the Buddha called it, and he said it’s more primordial than the human karmic body. That’s because the breath body is the Nirmanakaya, the transformation body, in its pure and true form. The karmic human body is just a particular karmic configuration of the Nirmanakaya, a transformation of the elements through the breath body. Cultivate the breath and you empty that karma, transform the human body into nothingness, let go of it fully, and of course, all this happens through the cultivation of the actual transformation body, which is spontaneous and Vajra and primordial, and has access to all powers and all other primordial functions.

You can cultivate the breath through attention to the breath, or you can cultivate it by simply stopping the breath. The tip of the nose is a primordial point of concentration, a natural place where mind abides, so concentrating there and gently stopping the breath is a natural concentration of Vajra beings.

Whichever way, just Mantra and Mind and Samadhi and Emptiness. The breath is just natural Vajra Samadhi.
