As a Bokor, what do I need to do to begin my meditations?
You do not need to know anything special to be able to meditate. Just make time and sit yourself somewhere comfortable in your house or office or any place where you are less likely to be disturbed.
What are the times set for meditation?
You are to choose your own times for meditations. There are no hard and fast rules on timing, but it is best to have regular times for meditation. The period for dusk to dawn is great time for women to meditate. The period from dawn to dusk is great time for men to meditate.
How do I meditate?
You meditate by repeating your mantra several times for as long as you can. It could be 5minutes, 10 minutes, 30minutes depending on your capacity. As you continue over time, you may want to increase the allotted time. Once you are comfortably seated on a chair or on a mat (It is not a requirement to sit cross-legged) gently allow your eyes to close and begin citing the mantra (hawo) you have been taught.
