All objects that are the subject of meditation and awakening flourished. Through constant awareness that we see the real truth of things should not cling, wrecked attachment. The nature of man and the universe are composed of aggregates of the author, we do not have a real self which exists and immutable. The more concentration, more intellectual people I see, the universe is only the grace of contact and subject to the birth or perish. Thus we see the combination of aggregates, ie the phenomenon involves the mind and body as identity, sense, infer, thoughts and perceptions which are not true. So that we be secure and away from all obstacles of delusion; realized the truth mystery, abandoning the psychological afflictions and evil. b. How meditation: the practice of meditation we must choose topics to focus the mind. Breathing is usually selected as the main subject.

Coordinates specific depending on each person's posture, how to be comfortable when sitting. The joints ache sick people are not sitting on the floor, can sit on a chair or a wooden blow appropriate. 5 / The choice depends sit and try mine. Buddha sitting cross-legged in 49 days and was enlightened. We should sit cross-legged, which is sitting as a lotus flower. Sitting cross-legged lap left foot right foot, right foot and left foot lap. Back straight, eyes forward or closed, lips smiling goofy smile function.

Go to status and achievements of the first meditation is mastered three industry body, speech and mind in the present moment. Body, speech and mind does not let loose, do not make the bad thing is the actual results, performance mystery of meditation. c. Breath control: control the breath by counting the breaths. Counting the breath practices but the most basic rudimentary. Breathe in count 1, count 1 breathe out, breathe in 2 counts, breathe out 2 counts up to 10, then back. My mind will just focus on counting the breaths. When counting the breaths have matured, we just need the breath in the abdomen. Vipassana teaches recorded movements rising, falling of the abdomen. The first step should try to understand the exact nature of these phenomena are psychological changes within the body, such as feeling light, healthy, happy, smiling. This practice, we can follow the breath in and out every three steam instead of ten little track count. Breathe in and breathe out counting silently, breathing in and out silently count two, breathe in and out silently count three. Just practicing for three solid breath might be interested in tracking the present moment. Head of mind at the present moment mindfulness and wisdom is a lamp was lit. There is wisdom we will see the true face of life and of dependent arising, dependent origination. Thus we are not bound, we will liberate every delusions and obstacles. Before you start practicing breathing, breath control, one should recite the following poem read three times:

Sitting area in the mountains

d. Patients sitting meditation:
The common diseases of the sick new meditation is deep in thought disorder and disease. Disease is more deep seated meditation, our mind is drowsy, unconscious and not love. Patients thought disorder is when meditate, good idea, bad idea going through my mind whirring incessantly. For practitioners, the concept of evil is not good, but also to get rid of the concept of charity. At some point, I will understand clearly want freedom, we must get rid of the concept of evil as well as the concept of charity, that is able to comprehend the nature of equality feet, away from discrimination. e. Control wandering thoughts in the recognition, awareness: When dreaming mind, that we are conscious dreaming. Medicines are concept: provincial province. Province to end the state of drowsiness. While the thought disorder are aware that our minds are thought disorder. Medications are still silent. Chimpanzees way, lightheadedness way, it is depends on the clarity of our attention. Buddha one day using natural label, he saw a great disciple is asleep and snoring during meditation. Whereupon the Buddha the only way to tame sloth disease: * Open your eyes Look up to heaven * walking * Stand up * Breathe deep, long and slow * Hold your breath for the wake-up * Go wash your face * The few relaxation exercises. * Reflection of a person suffering, death. * Send a concept for a support center from dying. * Send the energy of compassion for a person to hatred or animosity and more. * Imagine a person to blindness and amputated both legs, he said as long as miserable. * too tired, sleepy, then lie down to sleep comfortably. * When and awareness, continue to meditate and breath control. Regarding thought disorder cure, let your conscious thinking about a certain thing and it silently. For instance we are thinking about a heart attack, just silently heart disease, heart disease. When these eight end, go back to counting down every three breaths. All things are born, then there is death. Delusions nor other means have been born of delusion, then all will be killed. We just need to be aware that the concept of natural and busies will vanish. Eventually, after many elaborately practice, my body and mind will be calm and easy going through the steps deeper insight to develop compassion and wisdom. Want us to keep the meditation. Do not keep the world can not have the power. As we have three life refuge and vows to keep the five precepts, the world determined to preserve it, not let loose and retrogression. Want to keep to the world. Want to have favored the concentration front. The monk has many rules and majesty, but not in the killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no great expectations on acquired language and not in the drinking is important that we should receive life over. f. Benefits meditate: Meditation is for the body and mind to become calm, clear, get rid of sickness and worries. Meditation is the best way to make a rich and strong spirit, have plenty of patience virtue, good listener, open-minded and help us succeed in all areas of life.

Farther, a long meditation on the correct methods and practice will be enlightened as Buddha, Bong Pass is no longer suffering, no also roamed the dead sea life and more confusion. Sitting meditation is ultimately to be able to see the truth of it, and of the equality of all things, purity and harmony.
