Hello,
I would like to seek your opinions on something. I am a Pure
Land practitioner. A few years ago, I was doing some contemplation
on impermanence and then suddenly this tranquil feeling enveloped
me. I felt very peaceful and in that state I felt free from
desires. It was almost like time stopped, but not quite. However,
that state lasted only about 30 seconds and I have never
experienced it again after that. Is that what people call "access
concentration" or is that "emptiness"? Sometimes I still think back
on it and wonder what it is as that was the first and only time I
ever experienced it.
How do I experience that state again? I tried contemplation on
impermanance after that but I didn't get that feeling again..
