Deeper into Practice - Tricycle Daily Dharma, January 27, 2013

Many people are doing shamata meditation. This is a kind of resting meditation, also called 'calm abiding.' This is good, but in Buddhist training you must go deeper than this. It is important to go deeper into emptiness—not nothingness, but into understanding emptiness as the nature of mind. This is where wisdom and compassion come from.

-Yongey Mingur Rinpoche, "Trust Through Reason"
