The Nechung Oracle Program Thought for the Moment...

The Paramita of Meditative Concentration
    It is said in the Teachings that without taking up the Paramita of
Meditative Concentration, it would be impossible to realize the nature of
mind.  We should think of meditative concentration as the practice that brings
stability to our minds, and creates the good conditions to practice unfocused
meditation--in other words, resting in the uncontrived natural state.
    If we make a quick examination of our own mind, we can see the reason this
kind of stability is so crucial.  Although physics has observed light to be
the fastest traveling phenomenon known to man, actually the speed at which our
minds travel is even faster.  We can circle the globe in a matter of seconds,
and our minds generate doubts, emotions, and conceptual thoughts at a speed
that defies that of all other phenomena.  Because we lack basic mental
stability, conceptual thoughts arise endlessly.  So, if our goal is to realize
the nature of mind, we first have to learn to still our minds, and free
ourselves from distraction.  The method for quieting the mind is called
"meditative concentration."  Once we have gained some initial mind stability,
it is even more important that we continue our training so that this stability
will increase.  Without such stability, it is impossible for us to
successfully learn to abide in the uncontrived view.
