Drums: Kriton, Sofoklis)

Just sit up straight get ready to apply the beginningless art
Evoked from the mystical past thousands of years ago
Taught by the Blessed One who managed to see past the mirage
The art of staying present beyond dualism, attentional schism

Become aware of the incoming and outcoming breath
Feeling the air in and out, relaxed, awake, interested
Keep your attention focused and when you watch your mind wandering
Acknowledge the fact and non-judgmentally go back (to the breath)

Keep practicing every day without exception
The goal is to experience the mind’s existence beyond thinking
Identify the base of consciousness as the mere and empty observer
Carry the insight you gain integrating life in the present moment

Become aware of the incoming and outcoming breath
Feeling the air in and out, relaxed, awake, interested
Keep your attention focused and when you watch your mind wandering
Acknowledge the fact and non-judgmentally go back (to the breath)

Krishnamurti (Passage taken from Public Talk 3 Saanen, Switzerland - 16 July 1981 “The ending of conflict”)

Oh mind, Oh thinking, Oh to set you free
And I beyond clinging, and no one’s there but Thee

Become aware of the incoming and outcoming breath
Feeling the air in and out, relaxed, awake, interested
Keep your attention focused and when you watch your mind wandering
Acknowledge the fact and non-judgmentally go back (to the breath)
