THE PURPOSE OF MEDITATION.

We want to present something to show you how to meditate. Like most people, people from the West to Asia, are an admirer of meditation, because to be attracted by the practice and gain much benefit from it. However, despite many people meditating in life, but only a few that understand the deeper purpose of meditation.

Each of us possesses a physical body is composed of bones, blood, meat and other things. However, you do not completely control his body, the result is always this many problems. Maybe you're a wealthy man with assets in the whole world, but despite the enormous wealth, if your mind insecurity with an uncontrolled body, will continue to live in pain suffering. So, whether rich or poor, none of us escape from this problem. It seems we never found the end of the difficult, because one can solve this problem is complete, there will be just another problem instead. The conflict and unhappiness associated with maintaining physical health for your physical well have the same problem, be it anywhere. If you have the wisdom to go deep into the heart of the problem and track the changes, you will quickly realize that the situation is not as universal mind is as clear and even more if you have a body insecurity, there is no way to that experience through suffering involved.

The main problem that we all have is the suffering when not achieve what he wants, including the necessary material needs such as food, clothing and things look good while the reputation, the hear the gentle, sweet, and the like. Some scenes of suffering, such as the hunger of the poor, the other more specific things. However, even said so, all we do not control the desire to own things that do not.

For example, if you're lucky to be born into a wealthy family. During his lifetime, has never experienced the lack of material, so can afford to own anything if you want, or feel free to travel anywhere in love, experiencing the joy and interest in different cultures. Finally, when you get all the material possessions, not knowing any more places to travel, more fun ... you still in the heart of popular unrest, dissatisfaction. In the state of crisis, not sufficiency, many people with mental illness, can not adapt or tolerate the pain, although common misfortune.

Whether even a fully equipped physical, you still feel pain. In fact, as many possessions owned, not knowing sufficiency, the increasing insecurity for not more so fulfill the lust, as well as increasing material wealth, it also can not affect or cut the root of suffering. Therefore, when greed is nourished, the insecurity, anxiety, depression continues to be present. If the accumulation of physical assets have the potential to reduce or eliminate pain, and there are several stages of material happiness, but with continuous mood of insecurity, becoming serious, and all Dissatisfaction will end. As long as your heart is attached to a body insecurity, the suffering continues.

For example, to protect your feet when walking on uneven ground and sharp spines, you need to wear shoes, but where it must solve the problem, because sometimes do wear leg pain when the toes are pressed, often painful and uncomfortable. The problem is not primarily the fault of the shoemaker, because if your feet are not long, large or sensitive to begin bearing, then it could be fashion shoes completely comfortable. So, if you look into this matter, the source of the discomfort is not outside, where lies the body of your own physical, spiritual being dominant.

This is just one example of suffering from physical experience of you. From birth until death, you have as many as profligate energy to try to avoid protecting the body from suffering. In fact, most people spend all the time to care for her physically are not delivering results.

The purpose of meditation is not merely to physical care, avoid meditating in this manner, because meditation noble purpose, more valuable. Applying such a method of meditation outside to benefit the body is meaningless. This leads to the waste of a method, which ultimately reached a temporary value, to see that meditation is like aspirin tablet reduces symptoms of headache. The pain may go away, but does not mean that radical treatment, because next time it will come back, because the method does not involve treating the chief cause triggers, so only temporarily cured time. Although short joy and pain through much less sense, you should not apply to practice meditation or other spiritual methods for this purpose or is wasting the power of meditation to cure such limited .

What they could take care of meditation is the mind, body and mind, though closely related and interconnected, but with the kind of phenomenon is not entirely the same. The body is an object that you can see with our eyes, the mind can not see. The same family member, can share many similar characteristics as faces, but each child will instinctively have different personality as mental attitudes, wishes and preferences. Therefore, whether the same school, the intelligence and the learning of each difference as well, which is transmitted by parents and grandparents. The difference of the mind as such can not be fully explained by physical.

Also worth noting is that the kids have accurate memories of past lives, remember the places such as birth, life, or at which a star can recognize familiar people and objects of the past life. This information is compelling evidence for anyone who intends to study this problem with an objective mind.

In any case, the fundamental cause of the different spiritual gifts among the same family, and with authentic memories of past lives, of course, clear that the mind is without beginning, so life was past still exist. While you do not have the ability to analyze sophisticated data here what is and what is not provided continuity between the present life and the next, but it is important to note that: As memories Your continued from the past to the present, therefore, will from now through to their future lives. Similarly, the current actions will determine the status of your rebirth in future lives. So, you are responsible for what causes life to shape the current and next life. It is important to realize this, if you discover that the effective means to permanently sever the roots of mental and physical suffering.

We were born as a charming, should be able to make his life meaning and purpose in life. However, to achieve full benefits, you need to overcome the low instincts like animals, by improving and controlling the human mind, you can be completely cut off the root of all suffering. In the space of one or many lifetimes, you can rid binding cycle of death and rebirth, because if not, we will be circulated in the birth and death many times without any choice choose or control, and to go through all the suffering caused by a physical insecurity. But for special applications can disrupt the flow does not seek this, giving you lasting relief from all suffering and unsatisfactoriness.

However, to keep myself out of the cycle of death and rebirth is not enough, because is not the right way is to use only the human capacity to cure it, because you do not is the only beings experience suffering and wishes, so all beings share this common misfortune. So, when are most charming lack of insight-wisdom-to find the right way thus bringing an end to suffering. All creatures on earth, without exception, have spent all my life, during both day and night, to find the way to overcome suffering, bring peace and happiness. But because minds are clouded by ignorance, the search becomes futile, so instead of leading to the desired cure, the only cause more frustration and pain. You try to eliminate the cause of suffering, and yet, just keep distant nirvana, is blessed, completely eliminate suffering.

All beings seek escape from suffering like us, so if you are well aware that, then there is not selfish if you only look towards liberation and peace for himself. Therefore, you should attempt to escape the suffering people. But first you need to complete the steps to become aware, then you can indicate to others, the right path (of righteousness) to end the suffering. In other words, you must meet the Buddha nature, can help others be free.

For example, you want to bring a friend to a beautiful park to enjoy her, but if you do not know obscure any way to get there, then even if you have the desire nor how much they achieve results. Therefore, you should have good vision and is necessary know the full path to the park, before I intend to lead you. Similarly, you need to realize fully awake before discrimination (right view) is the right way to lead all beings, with the level (the contract) and behavioral (contract management) difference, new can be directed to the liberation of their own suffering.

So when we talk about the real purpose of meditation, is talking about achieving enlightenment, awareness for your help and the beings are going to complete the goal. This is the supreme goal and the only reason to practice meditation. All of the major practitioners and the practice of French engineers in the past have only brought this wish. Similarly, in all the teachings of the Buddha there are hundreds of different meditation depends on the choice and level of living beings, so when you practice meditation in foster care need the same motivation.

So the spiritual life is essential, but you are not required to do so through the external actors influence, by others, even God, because you are suffering, and only you are responsible to treat his disease. You set up the situation to find yourself again, and then create the environment to liberate. Although there is suffering in life, you need to do something to change daily habits, it's back to the spiritual life, in other words, meditation. Because if not inward to transform the mind, instead, just take traveling under the power lines outside their image of life, the pain still exists. Suffering has no beginning, and if you can not nourish the spiritual life through the application of meditation, the suffering can not end well.

In summary, it is difficult to practice French in an environment so rich in material, because this causes distractions affecting meditation. However, the root of the disorder is not about self-care environments, or industrial machinery, food or other similar factors, but by the words in your mind. Surprisingly an interesting way, because during a visit to the West of my first, then progress can materially benefit in the practice of France and several different types of meditation. Many people sincerely seeking the meaning of human life to rise above the ordinary instincts of life. In this regard, I think wise to combine the spiritual life in the daily practice, to be able to benefit deeply spiritual and physical comfort. For such people, life will certainly not an empty promise.

Processed foods from many different components can bring delight, then if you get a job or have some daily activities, try to work together as much as possible on the completion of a road spiritual application of the French, your life becomes very rich. The benefits from this experience by combining both approaches in life, far-reaching benefits.

There is a great difference between mind, feelings and experiences of a person with knowledge of French and applied to everyday life with people who have never known practice. The first, when faced with difficult problems in the phenomenal world, the experience was so calm and less grief, knowing the mind and behavior control problems skillfully. This application not only in the life of many daily challenges, but also especially death.

If you've never participated in any spiritual practice or not practice the discipline of the mind through meditation, the experience of death can actually scary. Also for those who practice deep practitioners of Falun, his death just as exciting journey back home, like going to a nice park to camp. Even, though the practitioner may be realized in the highest state of meditation, his death is still a comfortable experience, not terrible, terrible. He may face a death of yourself, with all that makes the mind is liberated, and not to be alarmed by fear, anxiety with what are going through, or for relatives, or physical assets are left behind when he dies. In this life, you've experienced when born, now it is the process of aging, and death await. Therefore, the practice of meditation can help you deal with the inevitable self at the center. Thus, meditation really practical benefits, even though the purpose of meditation is what is more noble, that one may be experiencing.

In summary, not the external appearance of meditation is important, whether you sit with hands stacked on your feet a bit to be classified by the result, but the most important thing is to control and find the pharmacy actual cure suffering. Meditation can help you eliminate delusions clouded mind, as well as helping aware, not without jealousy and greed? If meditation helps you to reduce the negative thoughts, bad in your mind, then meditation is useful, perfect, proper and worthwhile practice. And as you just increase the self, negative attitude, then that is another cause of suffering. In this case, even if you think you have to practice, but you do not fully understand and apply the French wrong.

France, the guide free from suffering, away from the problem, so if the practice of meditation that brings no results in this direction, then in that there is something wrong that you need to observe, control again. In fact, the fundamental truth of Zen practitioners are rightly discover what actions bring suffering or happiness. Then, to avoid industrial actions, which, as the good. That is the essential essence of meditation practice.

Last words, because all of you who start to practice French, applied meditation to control your mind, you need to find the right source of dharma, need to read the book credibility competence, if as there are things in doubt, should seek to fully master the study, meditation teachers understand, realize to ask. This is important, because if you apply through meditation primer written by people who do not understand about meditation and guide misleading, would be dangerous for your life down the pagan path. Even with the right teachers, whether priests, lamas ... the teacher must also realize and practice persist.

When practicing meditation, the mind develops, you should not be passive, because not able to solve the internal end of suffering is to blindly accept what someone, even a great master, teach you to do. Instead, use the innate intelligence to control and accept this instruction after the effective practice, so that you fully convinced that primary teaching is effective, practical, and then, you should follow to apply. As with medicine, once you have found the drug could reasonably treat your disease, it should be used. Conversely, if you take any medicines in your hand, will bring serious danger rather than cure.

This is my last request for a beginner to understand the benefits of Dharma study and meditation. Spiritual life is very noble. However, even if not practice Dharma, the understanding can enrich and add meaning to your life. I think it's all meaningful. Thank you very much.
