[QUOTE="JayJay, post: 89003, member: 147"] First we stabilize the mind and our attention by following the typical meditation instruction: focus on a sensation of your preference and be aware when thoughts distract you and come back to the object of concentration if such happens. [U][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)][B](1) Deconstruction of Conditioned Phenomena[/B][/COLOR][/U] [I]When this is, that is. From the arising of this comes the arising of that. When this isn't, that isn't. From the cessation of this comes the cessation of that.[/I] [JUSTIFY]Deconstrution of conditioned phenomena means to observe how phenomena that are usually perceived by the mind as separate and independent are actually the byproduct of a very long chain of other phenomena that are all in causation.
