Buddha's Map Quotes

“As I said in the introduction, waking up is not easy. But without ease, it is impossible.”
― Doug Kraft, Buddha's Map: His Original Teachings on Awakening Ease and Insight in the Heart of Meditation

“Out of desperation, I experimented. I found that choiceless awareness—that is, just being mindful of whatever arose—was easier. And after a while, concentration came by itself. Rather than concentration being a foundation of mindfulness, mindfulness led to greater concentration. This made less sense at the time than it does now. But it worked for me.”
