Learn zazen and zen Buddhism meditation. All other methods are inferior.

Simply observer your own thoughts and do not evaluate them as good or bad. Do this until you forget who you are.

Simple yet extremely difficult

It is not very Buddhist to characterize other methods as inferior [1]. Perhaps the words of the Buddha himself would be the best guidance for you on this.
