What do you subtract when you are trying to focus on something? What do you say to not think of anything at all?Answer: It%u2019s not possible not to think of anything at all. The thing about not thinking of anything at all means you don't attach to any of those thoughts. So, when you are meditating, you are watching the thoughts come, and you are observing them as they ebb, and you observe them as they go away. And that%u2019s a subtracting process. Master Hua said it was like sometimes you watch snowflakes falling on a fire. You observe them, and as they hit the flames, they just evaporate and go on. All the things that you think about, all the phenomena, all conditioned dharmas, are like snowflakes. You just watch them come and go. And in doing that, you actually see how your mind is free not to become attached and moved by anything.Question for Professor Powers: How to deal with the arising of karma? How can we start identifying when we are reacting to karma, and how can we work with it? Answer: Karma is always arising. The problem is you cannot smash the karma arising because you already planted the seeds of it, so it%u2019s already arising. If you try to smash the karma itself, it%u2019s like forever trying to put a finger in a dam in a huge flow of water. You%u2019ll never be able to stop because what you%u2019re trying to stop is the constant flow of every seed you planted in the past is now arising as emotion and thought and so forth. What you have to do is to pay attention to all kinds of thoughts and not to add all kinds of complex thoughts. One day, if you don%u2019t add all kinds of thoughts, you will find that you are not affected by karma and all your thoughts.This book is currently only available in English.
