Hi all,
I just restarted my AYP practices again lately, after also having attended a Chinese Zen retreat May this year in the UK.
I do the 5 min SBP and then 10 min DM. Sometimes during DM I forget the mantra and cannot find it. Later I refind it again. Also sometimes I find myself repeating something else.

| When you find youself off the mantra then just gently return to it. Nice and easy does it. |

Hi Karl,
Thanks for the reply. That's what I'm trying, only sometimes I cannot find it... Anyhow, I'm not bothered by it, only find it curious. After a few instants the mantra reappears again. |

Totally normal when you start or re-start practise losing the Mantra happens a lot and so does the symptom of repeating something completely different. It's all about purification apparently, although I don't really bother with the explanation just folow the instruction and it all seems to work out. |

Not remembering the mantra
