Why These Two Cards Matter

Many people benefit from having a short printed reminder they can keep nearby. A practice card makes meditation feel simple and real. It helps the teaching remain close at hand without needing to search through longer pages.

These two cards work together naturally.

Calm Abiding helps settle scattered attention through the breath.
Pure Mind Abiding helps awareness open so thoughts, feelings, and sensations can be met more gently.

Calm first. Then open. Return kindly whenever needed.

The Two Cards

3. use Calm Abiding when the mind feels scattered
