The same closing practice
All three volumes end with this one short method — the Dhammakaya technique of Luang Por Sod of Wat Paknam. A specific tradition’s practice, not generic mindfulness; offered as optional. (Same as the appendix in Book One.)
- Settle in. A moment’s respect to what you hold sacred; steady the intention to be decent.
- Recall the good you’ve done and mean to do, until you feel composed of it.
- Posture: cross-legged, right over left, hands the same, upright but easy; eyes softly closed, no squeezing.
- The sphere and the word: a clear bright crystal ball at the center of the body; gently repeat Samma Araham. Coax, don’t force.
- Rest your attention at its very center; let the inner brightness rise on its own.
Cautions: no force anywhere; don’t crave to see; don’t fuss over the breath; carry the mind at your center through the day.
Weekend takeaway
Comfortable body, warm heart, a bright point at your center, a quiet word, zero force. Five minutes counts — and it’s the thread that ties all three books together.
