Absorbing Everything and Attention
A student asks whether the practice of simply absorbing everything that arises is similar to the open, thought-free attention discussed in the meditation.
In the meditation, you spoke about just absorbing everything, letting everything be and taking in everything that's happening. That felt very powerful. Is that similar to what was just said about attention being apart from thought?
Yes, the similarity is that absorbing everything happens simultaneously with that quality of attention. It is the same thing.
