Meditation on Not-Self
Read slowly. Perhaps read aloud. Listen within to any responses from the deep of your being.
Repeat the process. It is your responses that matter.
May awareness see clearly when the ego arises
May awareness see clearly when ego does not arise
May this awareness see the condition of body as the condition of body, not as myself
May this awareness see feelings as feelings, not as myself
May this awareness see thoughts as thoughts, not as myself
May this awareness see perceptions as perceptions, not as myself
May this awareness see states of mind as states of mind, not as myself
May this awareness see awareness, not as myself.
May awareness see the conditions for what arises, not myself as the creator of what arises
May awareness observe clearly whenever the I arises
May awareness see clearly when the notion of me arises
May awareness see clearly when the notion of my arises
May awareness see clearly when the notion of I, me and my does not arise
May awareness show freedom from building up my sense of self
May awareness show freedom from putting down my sense of self
May awareness reveal a wisdom and freedom to respond to events
May wisdom reveal the emptiness of clinging to ego, to self, to I and my
May awareness reveal freedom from the limits of ego
May freedom and wisdom abides in the face of conditions arising, staying and passing.
