meditation. In the evening, they also clean the place,
say a prayer, and perform meditation to clear their
mind with the goal to eradicate defilements. Every

: How much time do you spend meditating every day?
: I meditate twice a day--when I close and open my
eyes; when I inhale and exhale. In every manner
even sitting, standing, lying, walking or doing
anything, I can keep meditating naturally and
automatically because I have practiced it this way
since I got ordained. I can focus my mind on my inner
peace despite my outward movement. It is like the road
that lays still even when there are cars running on it,
or the sky that is fixed in its place even when clouds
are floating by. It became my habit to meditate by
focusing my mind at the center of my body, all the
time in every activity.
