MIND LIGHT WAY

This guided meditation invites you to return to your original mind—before thought, before memory, before identity.

You’ll be guided through a deep breathing technique to align the mind, heart, and body, followed by a powerful visualization that leads to the direct experience of pure awareness—the boundless presence that exists before all thoughts arise.

Whether you're new to meditation or deep in your Zen practice, this video is a gateway to the unconditioned nature of mind.

The Jewel in the Lotus What is the mind? To cultivate this flower, sow the seed. To see the seed blossom, clear your mind. To clear your mind, remain focused on your mantra. Your mantra is like the jewel in the lotus, “Om mani padme hum” When the mind is clear, its light radiates throughout the universe. As the jewel in the lotus reflects emptiness like a mirror, The light illuminates the mind. This is “The Mind Light Way." By Zen Master Sebastian Rizzon
