Mind is the creation of all phenomena. As all phenomena exist in the mind, are created by mind, as we transform the mind, into something more beautiful — into our true mind, our boundless wisdom and perfectly clear mind, — we also create the beautiful world. As vision is connected to mind, we give some creation to what we view. As we view something beautiful, we are creating this, and if we view something unpleasant, we are creating this. To be detached from all phenomena is therefore important; so that until we have come to the full realization of perfect wisdom, (i.e., with all beings), we remain our tranquility if we go to any place — (with the goal of sharing wisdom and peace), — Therefore we do not cause any vibrations of worse nature. However — by the practice of discipline, wisdom and patience, and the other virtues — we become more potent at creating..

As in most cases, it is most important to have good karma before meditating.
