center of dhamma—think of him and our mind would be happy.
When we go home, our vipassana practice is no different. If anyone is able to separate the physical and mental phenomena, and to make the mind empty and unburdened—then, we could use this unburdened mind to experience conscious phenomena. If we want our mind to be powerful, make it empty then humbly think of the Buddha, think of the merits we have made. Then fill them into our mind until it is full; fill them into our body. And, make this happy and fulfilled mind wide—wider than this room. Then, observe whether we feel that we are sitting here, in this position, in this building. Or, do we feel like we are sitting in an empty space. (A practitioner answers: Sitting in an empty space).
Now, slowly open our eyes, as we do this, observe whether our minds are still unburdened. Yes. Make this unburdened mind act as an experiencer; act as the one who sees. Take this unburdened mind and place it around our eyes—how does it feel? Does it feel heavy, light, empty or clear? It feels light, correct? Therefore, when we look at anything, project this light and unburdened mind to that thing. See how it feels. This is what we could use in our everyday lives—make the empty and unburdened mind act as the experiencer.
