Ven. Lobsang Drolma: Meditation is not always happy. It takes a lot of effort and there is craving to go do activities – how can one cut that, this not being happy while sitting? Khensur Jampa Tegchok: To be happy in meditation means having reached single-pointedness. To get this single-pointedness, to reach it, you have to work a lot. Generally people have a lot of distractions and there is also the power or the influence of the ignorance. Of course, during the first stage is not easy to have joyful meditation. Ven. Lobsang Drolma: And when we will get calm abiding, when is the moment to go for that? Khensur Jampa Tegchok: All these things will be happen after a lot of effort. Effort means that there is a lot of struggling. It is not something that you will get without struggling, without effort. This joyful state will not come just like throwing one cat out from a house; it is not that easy because you will have to struggle and apply a lot of effort always, everyday. After that you will get calm abiding. fpmt.org/mandala/archives/mandala-issues-for-2010/july/nterview-khensur-jampa-tegchok/
