A meditation for daily life:
ON JOYOUSLY SEEING A LONG ABSENT FRIEND,
PERMEATE THIS JOY.
"Enter this joy and become one with it -- any joy, any happiness. This is just an example: "On joyously seeing a long absent friend..." Suddenly you see a friend you have not seen for many, many days or many, many years. A sudden joy grips you. But your attention will be on the friend, not on your joy. Then you are missing something, and this joy will be momentary. Your attention is focused on the friend: you will start talking, remembering things, and you will miss this joy and this joy will go.
"When you see a friend and suddenly feel a joy arising in your heart, concentrate on this joy. Feel it and become it, and meet the friend while being aware and filled with your joy.
"Let the friend be just on the periphery, and you remain centered in your feeling of
happiness."
