Hello and welcome to this continued series on Insight.

And today I want to emphasize that insight, I think of insight in this Insight meditation

as being more like revelation than it is as searching, as it is

straining to see and understand something, it's a understanding, it's a seeing that reveals

itself to us, that we're not searching for something, we're allowing something

to show itself to us. But we're preparing ourselves for to be good recipients of this,

what gets shown to us.

And so practicing samadhi, quieting the mind, getting focused and still,

cultivating a simplicity of being with our experience,

so that the mind is not jumping around so much, but the mind settles down.

The mind gets steady and quiet.

And then the insight of inside meditation, again, is not a searching.

It can arise out of the real radical simplicity.

And all the insight that you need in a deep way can come from

resting experience with the breathing.

And one of the primary insights that we're looking for or waiting for or allowing for

in insight meditation is that of inconstancy, change, impermanence, how things are constantly

arising and disappearing, peering and disappearing.

And that insight, that revealing of change, can happen completely with the breathing.

All that you need to see and change and impermanence and constancy
