Reviewing the 5 impurities of mind that create obstacles to developing samadhi up to shamatha, I find that I am most prong to hatred, ill will, etc. The antidote is maitri practice, but how does that fit w/the Zen injunction to just sit? A question for my teachers.

Re-reading Tsong-kapa's teachings on cultivating shamatha, meditative quiescence. Originally studied this w/my Tibetan sangha.
