******* DO THE MEDITATION ROCK *******

 

 

If you want to learn how to meditate

I'll tell you how 'cause it's never too late.

I'll tell you how 'cause I can't wait

it's just that great - that it's never too late

if you're an old fraud like me

or a Lama who lives in Eternity.

 

The first thing you do when you meditate

is to keep your spine, your backbone straight.

Sit yourself down on a pillow on the ground

or sit in a chair if the ground isn't there.

 

Do the Meditation, Do the Meditation

Learn a little patience and Generosity.

 

Follow your breath out, close yours eyes

and sit there steady and sit there wise.

Follow your breath right outer your nose

follow it out as far as it goes.

Follow your breath, but don't hang on

to the thought of your death in old Saigon.

Follow your breath when thought forms rise

whatever you think - it's a big surprise!

 

Do the Meditation, Do the Meditation

Learn a little patience and generosity

Generosity, Generosity and Generosity.

 

If you sit for an hour or a minute every day

you can tell the Superpower to sit the same way.

You can tell the Superpower to watch 'n wait

and stop and meditate 'cause it's never too late.

 

Do the Meditation, Do the Meditation

Get yourself together, lots of energy

and Generosity, Generosity and Generosity.
