At the Temple I go to, the Ripnoche advises to gently close your eyes, or keep them slightly open, gazing down towards your nose. At about 9 minutes in on this video he gives instruction on the eyes and posture for meditation.

If you click View New Content, there will be either a bold star (topics you have posted in) or bold dot (topics you have read, but not posted in) on the left. Click that and it will take you to the last unread post within the topic. Or, you can go straight to the sub-forum of your choice, the stars and dot will be there too.

In this sense I would have to go with "to improve" or "to better" by refining to perfection. It can also mean to make something or yourself ready, to prepare a certain situation or set of circumstances. I believe that cultivate and practice can be the same in some cases. It just depends on the person, I guess.

I think so, a very dedicated practice.

Hello, and welcome to the bums We have some professional Chinese translators here, I hope that they can help you. Personally, when studying original texts, translations have been more on an intuitive level when there is no word to word rendering.
