Finding a suitable environment for meditation involves minimizing distractions and creating a space that fosters tranquility. Ideally, this means seeking out a location with fewer stimuli—like a quiet darkened room—where you can focus inward.

However, it's important to remember that complete silence is rarely attainable. For instance, if a lawnmower starts up in the distance, rather than allowing it to disrupt your meditation, approach the sound with neutrality. Recognize it as just another sensation, like the breath or any passing thought, and witness it’s impermance. Life is filled with lawn mowers.
