Reply 		Which Should I Follow??
I'm reading a book on mantrams.

Why?

To try to fill as much empty time as possible with my thoughts on the here and now.

Problem:

As I've concentrated on the mantram the Breathe comes front and center.

I also have this when I'm focused on a particular chore...when my attention is directed to a particular project.....there it is - in and out, in and out.

Question:

Which should I concentrate on? The Breathe or the mantram?

The book I am reading suggests not to let the mantram follow the breathe.

On the other hand:

I have heard it is very good to pick up on the breathe when possible.

I prefer the breathe as long as I know it's naturally flowing...that I have no influences on it inhale and exhale.

I then "hong sau" or count with the breathe.

Thoughts?

I'm just wondering if I'm making more out of this than needed or if one or the other is better?

thanks
