Meditation for people with little time

People with little time can use a sequence of seven steps, especially in ceremonies where many people gather.

Seven steps

1. Sit in the correct posture.
2. Breathing in and out, be clearly aware of the whole body.
3. Breathing in and out, keep the body soft and still.
4. Breathing in and out, see the impermanence of the body.
5. Breathing in and out, vow to love living beings. Use this when the mind is disturbed.
6. Breathing in and out, know that the mind is still restless. Use this when the mind has settled.
7. End the meditation.

Steps 5 and 6 are two practices used in turn, according to the state of the mind at the time.
