Getting a clue

C evil you e ã in here are ten ng them, and will return home in a completely different context. The meditation as well as your understanding of the Dhamma clear progress. Once back home, you may think that your friend in the e ã rather constant. Suddenly they did not understand what you say anymore. They were so interested in what you have to g ì important at all. When you n Israel know that they are not e ã rather constant, m à main change you're the one who changed.

When you hit the streets, observing people, passing vehicles you may be wondering: "Why is everyone so rushed? They need to go? There needs to hurry v ã like that? " You stand y Joel in one place, and coal observation that: 'I can not understand why people need to rush back to that? " Then about three weeks or three months, depending on your practice, all the back to normal in your eyes. Who is that, and you too. And it proves that you e ã omission in practice, the more you are no longer free, which means you need to attend a retreat more.
therefore you need to do before this event? Sitting Meditation morning for an hour, an hour and evening, is perhaps the most useful advice. If you can practice more, the better.
Finally, there are many things you can do. In the home, your own place to eat, sleep thinking, l am in, bathing. Please choose the best place for, is unchanging for Meditation. moved You do not often change seats eating, sleeping or thinking. Similarly, take a corner in nh well, just enough a seat for you. To Meditation pillows or cushions there and unchanging. If sitting meditation each time you need to go looking for these things, you are easily distracted. If you want, you can place a Buddha statue or picture with flowers to create atmosphere ri Eng corner there. in the room Like eating th ì desks to eat, seats, nh à kitchen stove , the corner of your meditation cushions should be, projector Meditation, maybe a small altar with flowers or a candle.
every day you have to sit v noisy place it in a certain time, carrying a copper clock radios. To clock an hour now and then, if not, when they are meditating, you will think, "Maybe it was more than an hour." But when you stand l Israel, see now, it was only ten minutes, and once e ã standing l Israel went away, you hardly l he is back with the Zen. Few people do that. therefore better to carry watches, v à soon as you think: 'Maybe it was a language ', you can not know n loud like that, because the clock is not a clock bell . When you know the clock yet rang, th ì less than hour, which means you can not stand l Israel. Gradually this meditation will become easier.
I need as much support as possible. Because we are always looking for ways to avoid the difficulty. Everybody that. Be wary of the reasons to avoid. difficult one Meditation is often like this, for this long, if not sitting well with each other. So if there is a group or at least l à two people sitting together as possible. If they do not know is meditation, teaching them about compassion consistency, the breath, and sit quietly together.
however, is not v that ì convinced that everyone on the e HIB sitting meditation with you. Way that only l am the more they avoid. Just say: 'I like sitting meditation. I will do it '. That's enough. Who can argue with us that g ì? Or 'I'll get up an hour earlier. " Good. Wake up gently, gently, to avoid waking the other person, because you do not want the nh à up humming along, while you sit in a corner, try meditation to. Afternoon convenient time, go sit in the corner of your meditation. But must wait at TV e ã is turned off.

Humans easy habit. When we were young, our mother often told: " Go brush your teeth. " And we used to say, 'I do not want to', or 'Why do not brush your teeth ',' The e ã do it 'or' Chips more I'll beat '. But the mother persisted: " Go brush your teeth. " Gradually we do well, and over time, we e ã has a habit of brushing. On this you have to make is always the responsibility of the mother. When our mind is saying: 'I do not want to sit', or 'I'll sit Chips', or' Skip a day what the heck ',' C antenna too. leg I hurt. Tomorrow I will sit ', you do not listen to it, m à must say, " Go and sit down. Hurry up. Nothing worth l am more about it. "

As a child, I do not understand why to brush your teeth, keeping teeth clean. mother always reminded that if they will not fall off, it is also not necessarily understand how loss. How r antennas can be shed, I thought. And now you heard: "If you do not take meditation, your mind will lack a clear". Maybe we do not fully understand The mind is like. But I need to tell myself as a mother who told me: " It's good for you. Please do come. " you only have to worry about moisture care for heart m HIB, which otherwise you would not care for it.

It is a good habit, clean, it leads us to the path of purification. These habits of thought will shape the personality of me and led me away v rushing the corners spiritual path, the road to the Act.

If we do not use the center for a purpose n loud other than just to live v à enjoyment, then that l à a waste of time. Of course we have to live, can meditation, but not so that it accounts for all of our minds. factors I have added mindfulness and practice it throughout all of our awake time . Any do-it cooking meals, cleaning nh Asia, markets or can walk-l à a lesson in mindfulness. When washing dishes, do not think about you will l am after completing mundane tasks , but to cough safe to mind v rushing each of the washing operation. When is cleaning nh Well, l do not think so and the humidity, but focus on each move action, which l à mindfulness.
All these negative thoughts are causing degenerative heart. center like body, also will decay or damage over time using. It will become less clear with clumsy thoughts. When is the - 'I do not like it. I do not want to do that. I want to get out of here. c I am th buzzing things. I hated him. I am proud because no'-in mind, we become weak more weak, losing mindfulness, wisdom again.
Mindfulness can bring v applied rushing out, the feelings, the thoughts, or in the ceilings, depending on the situation. For example, when are feeling sad, attention is placed v loud with a feeling that it will not bring any benefit to anyone. We know the need to replace it with other feelings, or abandon it. When you 're thinking, right or safe to know the thinking process, and that the object of thinking. Which means that the m HIB think is good or bad.
things will become a habit, so that we inevitably blame the other person. wipe clean curtains spiders It's thought process, do they become clear and easy to understand. We clearly know what happens inside the mind, and around us.
It is the work of ten-fifteen-hour days, depending on the hour of sleep we thought. Unless this work is done during the time or most of the time we awake, otherwise it is difficult to hope th Meditation Britain. In contrast, it is difficult to be practiced without mindfulness meditation. Both work together to support this. I have practiced meditation though I think my practice is successful or failed. It l à matter of l subject he patient and containers, ki Israel and diligent decision. I just have to sit and work practices.
During ten days in the monastery here, your e ã can be a precious opportunity to sit v à practice, and e ã is a little results. Upon returning home, will have less time to practice more, the result will not look like this, or more advanced. Meditation for l à a fragile achievement. It needs to be nurtured, cared for deserve. Dinh is immeasurable few diamonds in this world to be with. They can be read about it, heard about it, but like th ì benefit them. It will not mean anything unless we experience it, v à little achievement is now being worthy of respect for its values, ie l à always polished to its m Who am glare.
Additionally Meditation on mindfulness also helps us in the life of every ng him. For those who have not yet gained momentum Tu-degree-completion (stream-entry), nearly half of what they were raised in a polluted mind. When we know how vigilant we will easily let go of that idea because we e ã learn how the Zen of.

We need to avoid a looming life, not all regulations. A magical waking state is not the opposite of sleep. Which is the opposite of involuntary status. majority of us do not know What, thinking, feeling how. So we choose an easy solution is semi-conscious. That escape suffering. But that is the truth of suffering, the suffering soles of the Buddha's four noble truths. anyone want to escape suffering before, also need to know about the suffering. When e ã know suffering without trying to rescue the truth is going crazy Israel. No escape outside it, or can exit by Matthew church, bewildered.

N aggregates l à barriers, making our lives more difficult kh eat. dose and the most effective treatment for them l à improve knowledge, is the discussions about the high si Dharma EU. Do not engage in any public dialogue. You did not eat the food can be toxic to the body, th ì also do not absorb v swimsuit things like malicious gossip, talk to people, talk non-market, b herds news stories, talk about state policies theory or just cheap talk to m à said. The things that will poison our minds v à leads to v hen the road t à.
A different method to instill Dharma l à looked every situation, every experience-whether big or small - in the eyes of the French . When you see a bush with fresh flowers beautiful c application withered flowers on the spike, mind you should think to the life and death, decay. Or when you see the little birds are nesting cared, ki Israel straw over each others to l am for the organization is definitely warm, quiet. You also see in the next tree next to a wild nest. Always retain the change. Nothing permanent. This is my home, my nest. How much money, effort, time e ã spent to build the nest. then one day I had to give it the go.
All things around us are nh can be printed in French eyes to realize that there is no absolute stability, thus bringing to mind n always virtual, disappointed. That does not make me a depressed, depression. On the contrary, they help us get out of pain, sorrow, v ì despise them help things happen. Reduce the desire in us, because we know that all desires are impossible or safety satisfied, because everything is impermanent.
Dhamma in our hearts. But not in the temples, robes, or the tree root problem. France can only head in one place. People who enter France v bring swimsuit and the French, they are temples e who do not put Dharma. brick and tile making temples. As the tree problem, the h household-objects are only l à icon. We need symbols to remind v ì is very easy to forget. But Dharma office in the heart that lives by the Dhamma.
Buddha said: "Whoever sees it, is that the French. anybody see France, I see." Living at the time of this, we do not expect that the Buddha lived, but that does not necessarily v ì "Who see France, I see." If you can see the French in his heart, then you can see the Buddha. Buddha's Enlightenment was only emptiness. So if we are in the heart of France, it was also close to the Buddha in us. I do not have anywhere to go, so t his IMP. I do not need to do anything special to be met Ng else. You just need to be mindful and turn change the bad th him a good. There is simply no? But simple does not mean l à easily. It's hard to do, but will definitely benefit us. These benefits have nothing to compare it. now your e ã fully equipped. 's all of you. Use them well.
