On concentration
Concentration (attention, focus, whatever) is tricky. Its hard to practice properly.
When meditation, I’m often falling into “possessing” kind of concentration. You can compare it with watching movie, when your mind moves with object of concentration.
Proper way to concentrate is “observing”. Let everything go. No regrets, no worries. Do not care of anything at all. After then, start noticing object of concentration. Do not allow it to move your mind, just observe. If you feel it starts to enter into your mind, let everything go again, and start over.
upd: Its called nyon-yid (deluded awareness) in Dzogchen. Gotta dig Nyingma stuff a lil bit deeper.
