Make a rock
Hi
From a book about meditation:
Anything your eyes see should be ignored. If you have access to such a place, you could sit in a Zen garden, Japanese meditation garden or someplace where the atmosphere is very serene. Then you can sit and choose something such as a small tree to stare at in meditation. Make a rock, there are endless possibilities to how you can practice insight meditation. Some may be more traditional than others, but that does not matter.
--- I understand that a rock could be something you could stare at? Maybe it's better to put a comma after the word "meditation" and write "make a rock"?
