Ajahn Sumedho says he stopped teaching meditation techniques because doing so fed the misperception that Buddhism is about getting something you don’t have, or getting rid of something you don’t want. His favorite phrase is, “It’s like this.”

He says consciousness is impersonal and does not judge. You don’t have to like or approve of everything that comes up, but don’t judge it regardless of what you think about it. Don’t think about it at all. Just allow it to arise and pass away, which it will of its own accord.
