Buddhist meditation helps lead us to see our true nature. More generally, meditation is the concentration of thought on a particular object or point. The last thing meditation is about is sitting on our butt for the sake of sitting on our butt.
I was just on one of Shinzen teleconference retreats lead by Stephanie Nash and we worked with this "Do nothing"...hard to now what it is if you have not practiced. I had tried it before and it was okay, but today it was amazing. But then I have been meditating for many years. basicmindfulness for teleconference retreats every month
This video is one of countless examples of Shinzen's teaching prowess. He takes such a subtle, slippery topic, defines a scope and useful terms, and elucidates as few people ever have. A deep bow to Shinzen for all his pioneering.
YOU CAN spontaneously turn OFF your limited identity, it's called smoking Salvinorin-Alpha. Psilocybin works just as well, but in a much more forgiving way.
"doing nothing" is not the same as "non-doing." I fear that some people will not differientiate the important nuance.
