FAQ on Meditation 014
In the course of meditation, if there should be any sudden loss of concentration due to disturbance by noises, should we start all over again?
Yes. In the beginning, some noises can disturb the mind to a greater or lesser extent and if the noises do disturb you, you should find a quiet, peaceful place to sit. Once you have reached the stage where you are already meditating at the centre of the body, you should find it easy to pay no attention to the noises and just enjoy yourself as you continue to meditate at that point.
