Sitting Meditation 3
The third door of liberation, Vô Tác (Apranihita) means not longing for anything. Sự sống trong hiện tại đầy màu nhiệm, and we can dwell happily in the present moment. We do not wait for Buddhahood or nirvana, as they are already present. Vô Nguyện, Vô Tác is not setting goals to pursue, because when running after them, we cannot dwell in the present and connect with the wonders of life.
When we stop chasing, peace will come immediately in body and mind. This is the wonderful door of liberation that we are trying to open. The wave does not need to search for water, knowing that it is already water. If we continue pursuing objects, we miss the capacity to connect to the wonders of life within and around us. By opening this door, we find immediately true peace and happiness.
