ध्यान (meditation) का मतलब मन की किसी खास स्थिति को पैदा करना या उसे बनाए रखना नहीं है, बल्कि मन में उठने वाले हर विचार और भावना के प्रति सिर्फ सजग होना है।
meditation is not supposed to be the fabrication or the reinforcement of some particular state, but simply the cultivation of the awareness of whatever is arising in the mind.

सलाह यही दी जाती है कि अगर आपका अनुभव अच्छा रहा है, तो बहुत ज़्यादा उत्साहित न हों। और अगर अनुभव बुरा रहा है, तो उसे कोई बहुत बड़ी बाधा या रास्ता भटक जाना न समझें जिससे वापस लौटने के लिए आपको बहुत मशक्कत करनी पड़े। अगर बुरा अनुभव हो, तो बस बिना डरे अपनी साधना वैसे ही जारी रखें जैसे आप करते आए हैं। दूसरे शब्दों में, चाहे कुछ भी हो, बस अपने मन को देखते रहें।
What's recommended is that if you have a good experience, don't get too excited. And if you have a bad experience, don't mistake it for a serious deviation or a sidetrack that you have to find your way back from. If you have a bad experience, just continue practicing as you were. In other words, whatever happens, just keep looking at your mind.

ऐसी कई दुनिया या आयाम हैं जिन्हें आम इंसान नहीं देख पाते। पर सिर्फ इसलिए कि वे हमें दिखाई नहीं देतीं, उनका वजूद खत्म नहीं हो जाता। इनमें से एक आयाम 'संबोगकाय' है, जहाँ केवल उच्च कोटि के बोधिसत्व ही पहुँच सकते हैं। संबोगकाय के इस पवित्र लोक में लगातार धर्म का उपदेश दिया जाता है। ऐसा ही एक संबोगकाय लोक 'तुषिता' है, जिसके आधिपत्य में अगले बुद्ध, यानी मैत्रेय बुद्ध हैं। धरती पर आकर धर्म का उपदेश देने से पहले बुद्ध शाक्यमुनि भी वहीं निवास करते थे।
There are several realms which ordinary persons do not perceive. Because they cannot see them, that doesn't mean they don't exist. One of these realms is the sambhogakaya that can only be visited by highly realized Bodhisattvas. In the pure realm of the sambhogakaya, the Dharma is continuously taught. One sambhogakaya realm is Tushita, which is presided over by the next Buddha, the Maitreya Buddha. Buddha Shakyamuni dwelled there before coming to earth to give Dharma teachings.
