Simple Meditation Instructions

This is all you really need to do to reach awakening.

Step 0: Morality

Make sure your life is in order. Among other things, that means no behaving immorally. If you feel you must behave immorally, then figure out a way to get yourself into a situation where it is safe to behave morally.

Step 1: Concentration

Get to access concentration.

Step 2: Lucidity

Use access concentration to cultivate a nondual (lucid) state on the cushion.

Step 3: Mindfulness

Use mindfulness to extend lucidity into your life off the cushion. Eventually the lucid state will become permanent. This is awakening.

Step 4: Integration

After awakening, you will likely need to do some integration.
