There are only two ultimate objectives of all practice.  Freedom from fear, which is the first and most paramount objective. Fear of what? Of the hold that life has on you. If you can conquer fear, you will feel the true freedom of the mind.

The second is to be  free of expectations (a.k.a hope).  Be free of failing (the fear of failing), in case you find your practice coming short. Practice in a carefree manner.

Be Carefree and Free, not dull or withdrawn, but simply at ease

  • Train in a carefree, but not spaced-out manner
  • Stay at ease, though not at lethargy…
  • Train in the state of naked awareness,
  • Free of subject and object, free of thoughts, free of the future, with no dwelling on the present either
  • Habitual attachment-and its relation to who we think we are: on page 87: “…habit becomes your personality – and then one day it is you! Change that.”

Hope in Buddhism

Let go of ‘hopes’ – truly letting go of hope will make you carefree. Think about it, care arises out of a need to fulfill a want, a desire. If you hope the desire is fulfilled, you will care.  Care equals attachment. If you do not care whether it is fulfilled or not, you are carefree.

Eye Contact is an indication that you are at ease, not scared and not rushed
