This week, I had a chance to reflect on the experience of sharing meditation with others.
Each time I prepare to share, I am reminded that it is not only about having the right words. It is also about showing up with sincerity, warmth, and the willingness to be present with whatever arises.
As I began sharing, I noticed that it naturally came through in a more story-like way. Instead of trying to explain meditation as a formal concept, I found myself bringing it closer to daily life through simple examples and gentle reflection. This reminded me that meditation does not always need to feel complicated or far away. Sometimes, it begins with something very simple: pausing, noticing, and allowing ourselves to be present with this moment.
Once again, I noticed how important it is to create a space where people feel safe. A space where sharing is welcome, but not forced. A space where silence is not awkward or empty, but can also be part of the practice.
During the experience, I also noticed self-doubt arising.
A small voice inside asked, “Am I doing this right?” “Is this enough?” “Am I qualified to share this?”
For a moment, it felt like huge waves moving through my mind. Then I noticed the wave. Instead of trying to stop it or push it away, I imagined myself pulling out a surfboard and riding with it.
That moment felt very honest to me.
Awareness was not only something I was speaking about. It was happening right there, in real time. I could notice the doubt, feel the wave, and gently return to trust.
I did not need the doubt to disappear before continuing. I only needed to recognize it, soften around it, and stay connected with the intention of sharing from the heart.
This experience reminded me that sharing meditation does not mean we have no doubts. Maybe it means we learn how to meet those doubts with awareness, kindness, and honesty.
Little by little, practice helps us return.
這週,我再次靜靜地整理了自己與他人分享禪修的經驗。
我發現,分享禪修不只是找到合適的語言,而是帶著真誠與溫暖,陪伴當下所發生的一切。
在分享的過程中,自我懷疑也曾輕輕升起:「我這樣做可以嗎?這樣夠嗎?我真的可以分享嗎?」
那一刻,心裡像是起了個很大的浪。
但當我看見那個浪,我不再急著把它推開,而是想像自己拿出一塊衝浪板,溫柔地跟著它一起前進。
也許,那就是當下最真實的覺察。
覺察不只是我正在分享的內容,它也正在那一刻,安靜地發生著。
透過練習,我們慢慢學習看見懷疑,也慢慢學習回到信任,回到自己的心。
一點一滴,靜靜地,練習總會溫柔地帶我們回來,也更深地相信自己。
