Meditation: Do Nothing "noises"

[sweater]

Do noises (cars going by, people talking, etc) reduce the effect that meditation has? Would meditating in a quite place be better?

@Inglorious If your starting out and you find it difficult to meditate with noises, then do it in a quiet place.

But otherwise meditation with sounds in awareness can be beautiful, things like birds tweeting & cars going by.

@Inglorious Just the opposite. Try meditating on the noise of an airplane, your A/C blowing, or a lawnmower.

You could become enlightened just through meditation on noises.

Watch out for how your mind judges certain sensations as inferior to others. All sensations are equal.

@Leo Gura Thanks for the info!!!

I've experienced this, too. It's best to just let everything "be", and observe it all. That's what I do.
