From Small Boat, Great Mountain by Amaro Bhikkhu

And so for about the first two or three weeks of the winter
retreat in 1987, Ajahn Sumedho kept telling people not to meditate:
Just be awake.
He would say to us over and over again, Stop it, stop meditating!
He stressed this repeatedly and gave two or three
Dharma talks a day on not meditating. He would tell people to
open their eyes and stop trying to concentrate. Sometimes there
would be the plaintive cry, But what are we supposed to do?
For which the person would receive a response in thunderbolts
saying, do!? Don’t do anything. You already are it. Don’t do
anything. The methodology was identical to the undistracted
nonmeditation employed in Dzogchen practice.
He was trying to point out that dimension of doingness, busyness,
that becoming quality that so easily takes over the meditation.
It can permeate the whole effort of spiritual practice. The
becoming tendency takes over and gets legitimized by being called
meditation or me becoming enlightened. Meanwhile, we miss
the fact that we are losing the main point and that what we are
doing has turned into a self-based program. We get caught in the
illusion, trying to make the self become something other. As a
result, we lose track of the real essence of the practice. Making
the effort to see how this happens made this a very fruitful
retreat. After about two or three weeks we were beginning to get
a sense of what it means to stay present: Don’t do something
now to become enlightened in the future. Just be awake now.

excellent. In chat with someone over the weekend, she quoted Ajahn Chah on "there is no problem", the longer gist of which is also expressed here:
A devout, elderly village lady from a nearby province came on a pilgrimage to Wat Ba Pong. She told Achaan Chah she could stay only a short time, as she had to return to take care of her great grandchildren, and since she was an old lady, she asked if he could please give her a brief Dharma talk.

He replied with great force, "Hey, listen. There's no one here, just this. No owner, no one to be old, to be young, to be good or bad, weak or strong. Just this, that's all; various elements of nature playing themselves out, all empty. No one born and no one to die. Those who speak of death are speaking the language of ignorant children. In the language of the heart, of Dharma, there's no such thing.

'When we carry a burden, it's heavy. When there's no one to carry it, there's not a problem in the world. Do not look for good or bad or for anything at all. Do not be anything. There's nothing more; just this."

and later...

The Dharma is not out there, to be gained by a long voyage viewed through a telescope. It is right here, nearest to us, our true essence, our true self, no self. When we see this essence, there are no problems, no troubles. Good, bad, pleasure, pain, light, dark, self, other, are empty phenomena. If we come to know this essence, we die to our old sense of self and become truly free.
