Chapter 2: what is Meditation?

O you who wishes to protect his mind!

With double hand pieced together again,

I would like to advise them to this statement:

Keep trying,

keep the attention and vigilance is always so strong,

with all its own energy.

What is a meditation practice?

Benefit from the attention is one of the most miraculous discovery of Buddha. attentiveness as a remedy to treat all of our illness. That's the key opens the door of the Enlightenment.

Meditation in Buddhism does not mean reflecting on something or dissecting a theme at all, but rather a way to help us consistently finds the meaning of reality in its integrity. Following advice is very simple: "Please use your conscious mind to observe your own mind". It is also the most wonderful power of attentiveness. If keeping the wary before the event occurs, we will also escaped a them easier. When embittered should not seek to evade it, nor does it nourish it or go to the learn it. It is better to only pay attention to track whether it appears, survive and disappeared like. It is helping us to penetrate into the inmost essence of it to improve it.

Indeed not when the concept of involvement was raised in the Western world, except by some scholars that rare such as the American philosopher Simone Weil. According to her, we did not see the true role of the will of his own existence, but see it as a minor effort, an effort almost mechanically to the initiative a reality: "If only his teeth, biting is anti to tightly to enforce the ethics, to poetry, or to search for a solution to troubleshoot an issue, then indeed there's nothing better than that stupid can you be? The attention would have nothing to it ".

In the most profound attentiveness was potentially available to a certain acceptance is implied to help us reach out directly to what results appear and not questions at all (the attention helps us accept the reality show show up like that in a way it's "natural" and "reasonable").

Looking to know what it's a sidestep (read news analysis means nothing outside of ourselves and others with us). A form of self away. The road then left again as a means of helping us achieve a certain approach. Become the Buddhism is something really simple: just know to approach what looks appears like that, do not attempt to remove them and don't try to catch take them (to return to themselves and integrate with reality is a way to help yourself become a Buddhist).

Why practicing meditation, it gives me the benefits of what?

Meditation brings peace, heal the sickness of the mind and body for nursing.

Meditation takes us back to reality, help us to integrate in every moment an experience with her own sense of life. It is also helping us to break out of the control of automatic response and of thinking, always linked to bind us. Our life in fact is just a survival machine, controlled by the automatic response (actually, her life is just one long series of automatic response, governed by instincts and trends available – i.e. Karma-cause we don't have time to think or guess anything else at all that just know entrusted to the conventional response and gifts superficial thinking their control of machinery); meditation on the contrary sets us back to reality and what we feel. The return to yourself will bring me a joy peace immeasurable. We will discover a hidden form of simple truth, a natural form is like, it need not rely on anything to that form (which is again able to reveal a more primitive and simple reality is: it's just like that!).

Many doctors and scientists have proven that meditation is likely to ease away the stress and anxiety too far and healed more diseases arising from depression.

Meditation helps himself converted in a positive way, see suffering pain and rise above the confusion of his own.

Meditation is a way to help us to directly observe the experiences felt by himself. Thanks to it we will discover is the experience of feeling always fluctuates, as does a fog, but also at the quite transparent. Truth is, when we're angry, when the jealousy, also at we focus the attention. But usually, we would have to do the things that we feel or are thinking it. Thinking and experience to feel so that birth, existence was at one time and then disappear.

From the standpoint of Buddhism, the thinking is formed in a way a formula based on the quotations from the presence in his head, to which tied her with them (thinking was formalized through the conventional language, they control our actions in a way machinery); they constantly reveal and obscure our consciousness we no longer see the world transparent anymore (see the world through the thinking that was the formula). It is only the fourth true not only because the right is always direct and spontaneous personality (that is without, or prior to being formulated), manifest through a gesture, a certain language. In other words, the Buddhism views the main real right is real, thinking him different from the other thinking (always dominated by conventional and controlled by instinct) is only aimed to separate us from reality.

Sometimes we also carry out the persistent real thinking things like an obsession, for example, "no one understands me"; "All according to each other that happens to me it's bad"; "I'm just a useless"; "I'm disgusted me immensely"; "I'm just a helpless child"; "He's a very vicious and I was just trying to find ways on how to get revenge" and. .. Meditation is a way for us to return to the non-self-consciousness form to identify yourself through something like thinking things over here. For example, instead of for themselves under the anger doomed cause themselves to become aggressive is just so simple (stands out far to that) that all observations (i.e. tracking and observing the anger and did not see the anger is his or herself).

Meditation helps us to extend ourselves to embrace a form of true spirituality and to enjoy the experience and sense of reality as well as a love of unconditional love.

Meditation is also a road cultivate. Its purpose is to help us let go of ambition to want to control everything, most help us extend ourselves to embrace a wider to reality than the one I am tiny and full of his own anxiety. It is also helping us to let go of determination just pore over his private ambition, much of the help I can find is the serenity in a wide open space filled with gas and enthusiastic students.

All the Saints and mystics matter to any one race, if it wants to enhance its value, you must rely on an intact related to meditation. The support is not necessarily only in the context of Buddhism. It has also been studied Sufi sects (soufisme/sufism or Ahl al-soufa) of Islam and a s Catholic schools as well as some aboriginal tribes of the continent of America practice. Basics of meditation it is simply like that. But in fact it is a way of exploring the wide open spaces of the loves, help us rise above all bondage.

If seen from that aspect, and once the meditation is taught the full truth and correctness, it would be a means of helping directly gives us a spiritual life proper meaning. The way he requires us to have a certain determination to remove the mask by themselves and remove all of the illusion, that help us to confront all obstacles may hinder the expansion of his soul.

So what is attention?

The attention is a light silhouetted what it shines on. When we focus on the breath, the dominant often distracted condition we will also vanish off, whereby the breath becomes smooth causing us to feel more serene.

The purpose of meditation is to promote interest and keep the attention it does not leave the object being observed. For example, I don't look at my breath that I become my own breath.

Meditation is not a strength of mind, but rather the nature of the mind. The conscious mind is the ability to help us with what we consistently review. I bite a piece of Apple. The attention of me mingle with flavors of Apple pieces.

A duality that we often created as a boundary to separate the observer and the object to be observed-that between the subject and the object, or is between me and others-will disappear when we launched was the attention.

Like meditation, they must do?

Meditation is the way to keep the body, breath and mind itself always in the present.

Speaking in General, we can see ourselves a reunion between the body and mind of her own. However should also note that the image to temporarily borrow on this is not a conception of Buddhism (because Buddhism does not view the consciousness is an entity other than the body), so a Buddhist man did not have the independent body with the consciousness that should only see the breath took a key role in the transfer of life and helps us to become vividly.

Must choose a posture to sit it right

Sit not only means a separate movements of the body that relate to her human comprehensive.

You first sit down. Then figure out the picture of himself sitting truth steadily on the ground of this globe.

Your body represents a combination between Earth and sky high, and my heart is the Crown of a King. Put the Crown of my heart back to its right place (on his head). Then imagine the Crown sits majestically at the perfect position and welcomes it. Here's how to put yourself in a position ready to embrace the atmosphere of real. Try to integrate into the existing format can be a natural way then (don't have appealed to a divine power at all). Look under the aspect of sitting posture alone well enough to complete the badge for all teachings (sitting posture not only the body but also could reflect its mental form anymore, the link between body and mind through the SAT will help secure the existence in reality-news are sitting so firmly on the ground- and it is also the most basic foundations of the teachings Buddha).

Depending on which study the instructions on methods of meditation also has differences, but all are seriously preparing sitting how to can help people meditate in his body and keep the body upright and dignified that (sitting posture is very important because it will reflect the likely form of mind to meditate. When looking at a person adept sitting meditation, you can figure out the possible mental format or level of "import set" of him. Their sitting posture firm like a mountain on the left, full-body radiating a serene, quiet and dignified might cause we are dazed and glasses available).

If you want to sit right under the above posture it must keep its back straight for the real thing at the same time retaining the comfort. Sitting which will help you feel the "sturdy" and "vertical" connection of the back with the "soft" and "expansion" of the chest-this is a symbolic way for the combination of resiliency helped herself to look into what happened and the fragility (of breath where the chest) help yourself become smoother.

The important thing is that you have to keep yourself always relaxing. Depending on the schools, the legs can feet intertwine into each other in the Lotus posture or sell old, or just sitting with the legs folded well enough. However also can sit on a Chair-sitting is also good but have to keep their backs straight and true not be propped on the back of chairs (would like for the sitting to be relax and a strong need to have a "location specific", i.e. a pillow square or circular, semicircular, stuffed, thickness may reduce depending on each personSometimes it takes a lot of time to adjust the thickness of the concrete is set so that it's appropriate to themselves. Please also saying to a small detail is that the person meditating in the Zen schools have the location tool may correctly according to the rules, only natural fiber fabric, dyed with color taken from tree bark, padded instrument is set by natural materials such as cotton, straw, or grain drying and. .. However a beginner can use anything to sit on, such as a pillow or something else, the purpose is the butt and two knees to create three place to stand to keep the seat firmly).

Anyway, you should not be overly concerned or worried. Sitting posture is not the entire engineering work, it is just a way to "announce" before that. Sit properly as well as to demonstrate its determination to keep the body has always been straight, flexible and not asleep. Choose for themselves how to sit like that well that is imitated by the image type of the Buddha. one way to become Buddhas. anyway, it also is not a means to gain an expectation of anything at all. Free meditation posture it just means the practice. Maybe for the SAT is a mountains that people meditating can find that place a hidden place favorable settlement, whether they are living in any context whatsoever.

After sitting over the breathing!

After preparation for sitting posture then you start into his breath and attentiveness to it steadily, although it is also not meant to be his new track is up is anti-breath. Maybe for the attention as an anchor to help yourself from drifting away. Let the air penetrated his body, causing abdominal stretch wide enlargement and bulging chest, and then just let the air naturally came out and vanish into space. The air penetrates you and tie you to the ground, its circulation through the body and then leave. You should not attempt to hold back a thing. Do not put out yet another anything. Just watch me is like.

After all, they must deal with the thoughts of yourself?

Of course is impossible to avoid the thoughts and emotions that come to visit you, even where they are able to permeate the consciousness you. But the purpose of meditation is not aimed at the Soviet Union expelled them but rather just trying to observe the process of appearing and disappearing of them. It's very important to keep this in mind.

There is nothing wrong as that practice of meditation is a way to help create for themselves a can form no idea what was in his mind anymore. Real world, meditation is not a means to help themselves gain an achievement at all!

Of course sometimes we can also feel no g c very satisfied with the results yielded or may well be totally disappointed after realizing during his meditation session only saw out the bullshits ineffective, they took turns in succession takes place in his mind. Purpose of the exercise is to help establish a true correlation between self and reality, but in fact I was again entangled in an endless adventure! However should also understand that the practice of meditation is a way to help themselves to approach reality on this without comment (to track the operation of thinking but "stranger had left" no express or reveal an emotion would though it is happy or sad, just observe the thinking that appears and disappears awaythey are not alone, nor is his).

Allowed to exercise it really simple and easy to implement. In addition to the attention she does not have a purpose other than the need to reach. Necessarily just extend itself to welcoming atmosphere symbolized his presence and of the world each time they appear that way.

But why does practice spells hard to done?

Principles of practice of meditation however seems simple but also quite difficult. Real world, meditation does not like the fact that exercise is a method of integrity to help converting all that might prejudice extensive atmosphere of life.

Sometimes we just want to get out to practice what was learned in books, but when embarking on is very rotten releases.

We just want results immediately. This event is understandable, because we are all victims of the race against the efficiency and maximum enjoyment of trends, as well as shortages of patience are spread all over the place today. Meditation first of all is an art of living, but today, what does art have disappeared in the Western world (actually, it had also disappeared in the Eastern world, when the world's only known looked in the ideals and the values of Western society). Meditation always requires patience and determination.

Meditation severed roots of greed just wish for everything to happen real easy, such as when lights are the light to radiate out immediately. If only known looked all that way, you never can become a meditation master and not actively be a nothing. There is a day when cleaning up the rice, we set out what dish or not? There are every day we have to confront all distracted and his failures or reasonable? We can only advance on the path of meditation when sufficient self improved themselves more quickly affected by everything in confusion. It's very important not to view these things puzzled him as is the need to eliminate obstacles which should see them as opportunities to help themselves grow twice the power of the mantra in life.

Early inscriptions never was easier. When the inception work then his mental condition is often not sufficient and also so we can see more easily the effect, including a certain alertness. But as practiced, then we found out the more subtle difficulties, therefore we will have more dexterity to be able to remove them. Thus we will also use more proficiency training to defend himself before the gritty stuff of reality. If you look under the angled it then we will also understand easily why meditation the Zen school advised people to meditate to keep "the spirit of a new practice".

My own, I would love the following story of Zen master Shunryu Suzuki, one of the greatest masters of the twentieth century (Please note Shunryu Suzuki, 1904-1971, Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki is not, 1870-1966, but they often confuse the two, prompting sometimes Shunryu Suzuki is uttered"I would have to be the great Suzuki, I was just a little baby names"). The story is as follows, there are four different horses, a brilliant, a quite good, a medium and a really bad. The best horse then dropped an easy gallop. It's predictable thoughts equestrian before seeing the silhouette of a horse whip brought up. The second is also like his predecessors and response before the roi touch it. The third is just Launcher when the roi on its flesh and make it hurt điếng. The fourth is only released when the pain began to eat into its marrow bones.

Upon hearing the story on here then maybe we all are looking forward to the first horse, or at least should also be as the second son. But if the desire to be like during the exercise, the results we are not wise.

With regard to training, the worst horse is the best horse. The main defect of the new right is what will help you step into the way most firmly. Routine who were difficult when training the people who will find the most profound significance in itself (the author wanted to reassure and encourage us!).

Despite having difficulty exercising or during times when looking to get back to reality, you should not see it as unfavorable signs. Simple determination was sitting down to the ground and keep your back straight standing to mingle with the reality are showing up is more important.

Is the purpose of practice of meditation is to make us appeased down or not?

In the Western mass media meditation is often viewed as an allowed practice helps bring relaxation, moreover many people also see it as a further treatments. Truth is, many products contain meditation as therapy is significant. But not so that can say that is the purpose of meditation, though in practice the efficiency benefits can occur. Deliberate meditation really other than that very much.

The purpose of meditation is to converted the entire link between ourselves and all that we recognize, feel or think is (i.e. how to help us grasp and perceive reality as such, do not let the power pulses and volitional in consciousness make it gets distorted and turned it into the illusion).

Meditation is not seeking a form of individual at all as this is the only way to narrow the impact of it only. There is a way to create the conditions to bind it, and it is also one of the top obstacles in the practice.

Meditation is not a means to help yourself find the silent, nor is it a bowl decoction to drink when encountering difficulties. The purpose of meditation is to help us promote attentiveness toward all that showed up most to help us escape from the binding relationship between us and him.

The practice of meditation is not intended to make the mind subsides or becomes indifference the rough in life. Anyway, the meditation is never as a aims to cut left us with real.

Host Friday's Chinese Buddhism (he Favoured Power) after hearing a teacher assistant for his disciples as follows: "To keep stillness of mind most help yourself reflecting on the President and Calm, and necessarily always kept sitting posture and not be gaming"He responded as follows: "keep in mind tranquility" is a form of sickness and certain it is not the path of the Buddha.

After it was first a poem is as follows:

"While alive, if only to know sit not gaming,

Then until death they will be rested, but not seated.

In both cases there is a pile of stinking bones!

With regard to the essential t th lesson about the existence of this? ".

Poem on here don't have to be great or what! Framework of the French Leaders is exactly that. Meditation helps us to promote the understanding of the nature of most inmost reality and of ourselves. The Buddha put yourself at the center of most of the world sees a reality a more transparent way.

Although meditation is a great stop to help her find more transparent what is like, but the experience can never be a destination server.

The suspension helped bring a form of relaxation. Stop right there. A silence widely. It is a process that is necessary for the attention became more incisive. But if stopped then indeed it is not the way.

The important thing is all the more suspicious.

Attention and caution far deeper

Knowledge of Buddhism (wisdom) is not based on the Catholic thing room as other religions, nor are the results of scientific analysis of yield as often seen in today's world. It is also the result yielded by summarizing the various points of view. Knowledge of Buddhism formed thanks to the experience of our own impressions by based on attentiveness and vigilance deep (the author does not use the word "wisdom" but has raised the significance of the term is so ingenious and at the same time also did not use the word "enlightenment" but also indirectly explain what is enlightenment by merely so short as "knowledge of Buddhism" is formed from the experience of our own feelings based on attentiveness and vigilance-news means thanks to meditation).

The attention is naturally manifest is like when it is approached with a certain object and does not reveal a cling on. For example, I focus on the wind are threaded into my hair and out of position, not thinking about anything at all (the author is a smooth head monk thín, this example given is probably dedicated to us here! If the smooth but we thín in mind, we just feel the wind's poured herself into her hair Bong Thinketh voila proved himself crashed out involvement and are adventure somewhere outside reality and outside yourself). I put my mind in a can as receiving it. The mind's focus and integrate into a real form of balance to the serenity. It's no longer tied in the conditions governing it. The mind's I never sought to speak up is it like this or do not like the other.

Vigilance is a far deeper understanding directly, it does not need any intermediate form of innovative concepts or words at all (the concept or the words are conventional ways, vigilance is a deeply intuitive understanding to rise above all forms of reasoning based on concepts and conventions). It's freeing the Consulate sees lay within sight, it's out of sounds located inside the hearing, it freed the perceived impact is located inside the tactile, it freed for understanding lies inside knowledge. It is also the way that ancient tree symbolizes the confused being dug up the roots (see but do not convey, hear but do not express, collided into the flesh but not interpreting, understanding but not of expression: that's how invasive take root every illusion of reality).

According to the original Scriptures as well as the writings of the master, then first of all we must launch the attention and respect he shall arise out of a deeply felt increasingly openly and further help people meditate consistently show a real incisive way the experience his sense of reality, and from there will gradually understand the full structure of the previous experiences that he typically does not recognize. Attention helped bring peace, because it freed the mind away from everything ranging generally love making it always crashed into any direction.

The deeply suspicious findings in the form of intelligence and of intuition (prajna or uncivil)-this is a form of knowing does not arise by way of assisting that escape from an open atmosphere and familiar (the deeply wary not formed due to arguments that arise from the sense of intuition when exposed to the atmosphere familiar by reality, that means looking at reality and get your reality is like, the reality was awfully familiar to him and not to see a stranger would have).

However I often noticed for many people the progress on this not happening right in order. The in-depth vigilance and attentiveness could happen one at a time, or sometimes also happen where one of the two possible forms of holding a position even more overwhelmed.

Meditation is a way to create a blank form may not or reasonable?

Thanks to the work shall also be able to create an empty form in consciousness can be. But how to achieve that to do?

The Buddha did not discover the inane, which in fact is both an intuitive intelligence (intelligence) helps open up for us a huge atmosphere of realism. Meditation is a way for us to discover the truth what transparent operation of the mistake, that helps us to realize that we are tying forever (the illusion) how v a space of freedom, how radiant again.

Practice of meditation is not the way Andy all in his head but rather to help her confront the reality of the current (i.e. illusion by slave status). Routine we are just users completely strange to ourselves. Not the feelings and reactions we can sometimes make for ourselves are surprised (I can't believe I can think or act like that) but also can do for us is terrify anymore. We live it but looks like her life is being controlled by a monster hiding inside us.

For Buddhists, the fact there's no monster at all. More accurate words voila also nothing like a baby horror a ngáo ộp that's it. Just turn the lights up then will see right away is that there's no beast or someone lurks under the bed at all. The attention light is make us all afraid.

Where the focus of people always have something good (Buddha's computer). We just need to see it. The discovery was exciting. If humans mingle with it then all the demons will also lose the ability to cause bad things. Actually, what demons he's is nothing more than the stuff in your head thinking of yourself. So that they would be different than the foam bubbles are suspended, and then we will also have to shatter to into an extended atmosphere. Freedom is like that.

In addition to meditation out there are other ways to help promote the attention or not?

Meditation is the road the zodiac. Not an allowed practice goes beyond than the other practice, but also the convergence of all forms of living. Without meditation, we will never have a chance to enjoy the flavor of attentiveness and of reality.

If discover gets it in every moment a we will also discover that I can maintain it steadily Gets the attention there and it will help to make themselves known to live a deeper way.

For some schools, that if one wants to do this then just follow in his head had little real impact on the body, such as stretch or shrink your hand, holding a pencil, closed or open a door, lifting a glass of water up or put it down. However, there are many methods and allows other training can help us get back to reality.

If the determined steps on the path of meditation, the need to avoid the problems that can happen?

Should not search Active body that just integrate with it

The most basic thing in meditation is to rely on the body as a basis of much of his campaigning on the practice. His is anti-hard to try to mimic a person's posture in meditation is adept is useless! Let's focus on what you are-this is your only place to stand.

Do not try to drive the attention that it is easy to just keep it

Not just is anti people up is resolved everything hard. Simply integrate into mainstream attention. Should not make a wish nothing but just reaching so close to what are showing up with themselves.

Should not use meditation to transform your perception becomes clear that should only rely on meditation to conscious perception of yourself

Many people use meditation to find ways to create a unique form of TWAS much help themselves protect against what is grim arose from the perceived by yourself. It is not turning the practice becomes a tool to help her escape, in order to escape from the world and to eliminate the emotional stuff as well as all difficulties. Actually, it's just a minor fortified prison or another form of self reassurance that only and expressly not a vote wide open spaces helped himself previous strengthened what is available. Truly the practice can bring a certain faith but if relying on it to which seek to turn it into a tool for protection of all the attacks in life then the result is not true to the meaning of meditation.

Should not place a purpose to seek to achieve it, or is expecting something, that's just what obstacles prevent all contact with reality

If you try to find ways to achieve any one thing is immediately the practice will be vulnerable right now, because you've started to fall outside the true nude what is like. Exactly for that reason that the path of meditation there is no purpose at all. While directed at a destination and expected to reach the point that then we will forget the way you're going. If enlightenment is real entities in the expectation made the Enlightenment will be lost-because in search of enlightenment, we will no longer think of what is available right next to her (it is often said that the path of meditation it's shortbecause itself is the destination, if meditation which is directed at one thing kh c outside the subject of her own naked form and of the reality around you for certain it will be a direct or a way to lose the path).

Should not cling to the comfort due to the practice brings

Instead of having to look at the evolution in consciousness with the right way to our presence, we go back to what will bring comfort to yourself. Should understand that the highest purpose of meditation is to help us eliminate is the attitude just looking for fun and shunned suffering. Meditation is a way to help us discover the real purpose is to rise above all the expression (though that's fascinated or pains).

The practice of meditation which brings the risk of causing us to lock ourselves in with us or not?

Execute meditation done when like is his own self and self contained detached herself to the world and people around you. It is just to know "look at my navel" and does not need unfazed like thousand of other stuff going on in this world or not?

The questions which show a knocking on the meaning of meditation path consistently. Of the wonders that happen is because the Western philosophy advocated a hostile between the two possible forms of dynamic and stationary-dynamic has always been seriously and back then the immovable to be despised.

The misconception of that happening is because of how the distinction between active and non-estate is based on the perceived experiences of individual in life (just search how to differentiate the two possible forms of dynamic and stationary on the theory and not supposed to be the "real" also symbolizes a lotlike the attitude of "non-violence" requires a big inner strength to rise above the impulse of the "violent reaction"). Keep the silence usually requires a lot of energy, much more than how to say in words. According to a loose the power pulses are always easier to deal with them (should remember is that meditation is not passivity but asked a very large).

Meditation helps us promote may as ready to take over. The meditation would have to be an ascetic monks only know attempted to retreat from life. Meditation gives us an openness, and also help us respond most appropriately all event scene occurs.

So we can practice meditation on her own by learning from books or not?

We can start right away by coach t p is based on the instructions in a book properly, but after a while, you have to find someone else to help add yourself (please understand the author practiced Tibetan Buddhism). The media world is that it's simple, far from thousands of miles away with things unseen is delusional. But if there is no transmission shall will could hardly meet the true hopes of passive applicants about. (multiply this utterance of the author saying, please also give a small hint is the word "Chinese" Tong-Security is "Mi Zong" — is an "invention" in the Chinese language to designate a learned Buddhist sects is Thawing-look Superfluous or Vajrayana. This study is forming around the V century in India and then expansion to most other countries in Asia, so that schools not only in Tibet to be able to assimilate with "Tibetan Buddhism" or to call the schools was "your Tribe of Tibet". Media literacy is a ritual practice is quite specific to this school as a whole and there is nothing "secret" at all, it is just a way to help enhance the strength and determination of the thought of cultivation. In a nutshell though should call the above schools arising from India's "Tan-to Admit" or "Vajrayana" then probably more correct).

Unfortunately the era of we tend to scorn the importance and the beautiful definition of the protocols about, but on something then we will also need interoperability between two people (between the master and his disciple), there is both a need (to bring the divine personality in).

The media world is not a bondage to his detention in a limited interaction with one another, but rather to the connection between the practice of passive transmission lines with a psychic. What be not part of anybody, nor was a creation of a man (not passive means slave to a lineage, a ritual or a human at all).

Many people have invented many things truly effective workout technique help on conversion in highly personal ways. But to understand that meditation does not carry a purpose like that. Meditation is a way to help us get up close to the Buddha, his teachings, with source.

Furthermore and also a real critical thing is whether the practice is simple it is urgently needed to talk with someone who has more experience on destination truth. We need to be guided on the path to help you can discover all the richness of it (i.e. inherited was the experience of a people adept, unfortunately to find a dignified and adequate teachers the ability to help yourself then indeed is difficult in the present circumstances. So if can't find a master as desired, then better yourself to try a lot, and a lot of the previous).

Why meditation again necessary for living up to that?

Really out on a certain aspect, nothing is absolutely necessary at all and each person can choose for himself a private life. But also there are many of these, including the case of the sculptor Brancusi (a French sculptor of Romanian Lullabies, 1876-1957, is one of the most famous sculptors of the twentieth century), which most people viewed Buddhism is probably life life they, even though they do not clown himself is a loyal Buddhists.

Anyway, as for the majority of us (i.e. those Buddhism) if those who did not know to the practice of meditation is indeed very difficult for them to find the flavor of the teachings of the Buddha (although there is understood by the theory's correctness Buddhist tenets you also like only seeing a food drive "delicious "by painting or by a screenshot of that. Just when would know the feet intertwine legs sitting down to expand the sense of most help her integrate with reality, then the sweet taste and the deep meaning escaping from the teachings of the Buddha can be active in your soul). Truth is, each of us has the time can reveal a high level of attentiveness to help themselves suddenly see some experience feel somehow. The presence's experience with her and gives her a bit of relaxation. For example, when one bath with a shower faucets such, we focus on the trickle to pour down and long flowing on his body. Instead of thinking of what to do during the day, we let the water bring comfort to yourself. Allowed to practice meditation actually is a means of helping us to bring out the hidden form is like, one can form helps us to fully integrate into what we are doing with a serene mind and an open heart. The practice ran gave us a something special at all. It doesn't conjure up for us a possible form of excitement at all.

But without it, the result is very hard for us to tread firmly on the path toward enlightenment. We will stand by the exit event is happening. Meditation helps us direct reception was all the light in the presence of a suddenly kicked from the attention, to help us cultivate self taken and converted to the form in which we are currently available, as well as help us to confront any probable situation scene with himself.

That's the reason why meditation again needed to do. It helps us hi u are the way of the attention and turning her attention to a path.

Should practice meditation alone or with a large group?

The practice of meditation involving the feel is personal. In a manner of speaking, that's what it's very simple, just like bathing in the morning when you wake up.

Don't over similar stock greeting each other in the morning and be ready to welcome life front. The integration was simple. After the bath is finished the feet intertwine legs back and sit up is located (as a practicing alone). Let the purity movement naturally around us.

Anyway, how to work with a team that many people can still help yourself to go further (due to the power-assisted). General practice often help themselves to meditation are much longer than those at work alone. For example, in the case of general training with many others and themselves feel unable to continue much longer anymore and just wanted to stand up, but if you see the other person is still sitting, I will also be trying to sit back. There is also a collective effort to help all people far beyond than the predefined limit, that means everyone can sit are longer than the allotted time that he knows.

It's the practice of meditation is not just work for myself and for myself. We devoted their practices to others and it is also turning it into a European security (not to be holding what he made was that should revert direction for others).

Should take some practice for how long?

That depends on the circumstances of each person-free more or less or sometimes too busy because many things happen. At one point I really practice diligent and steadily each day, but also when the inferior.

If real want to rehearse, you should meditate for at least twenty minutes each day. I would normally advise the householder should I learn with practice degrees forty-five minutes each. Keep as it will help to make the body, breath and mind itself has enough time to become more stable. In that day all things happen to different stages will go (I'll be more likely to actively the events happened and converted them to become better, or at least not to give them his command through the automatic response and its machinery). If we exercise the attention it regularly then the attention will also be loyal to yourself and remind yourself regularly.

Before starting a meditation session, should also be specified that he would sit for how long. Then they must try to keep it like that, this is important.

It is best to meditate in the morning after getting up, i.e. before embarking on the day-to-day, it's at the most favorable. Should find a spot without being disturbed ai NET yen.

However, if you want to progress faster, in addition to the daily meditation sessions out on occasion should also attend the opportunity to hide the comport lasted several days and specifically just dedicated to the practice of meditation. In occasions like that we will have a chance to look back more easily than a person's mood to meditate when the new stage, similar to be drinking a SIP of water flux from the source of a cool stream.

After the meditation is complete, they must behave like in everyday life?

Meditating the yen can only contain one true meaning when it can bring us an alert helps us turn innovation to be what happens in daily life. In other words, meditation by sitting still is coupled with meditation in action. It's how arises out of "ethical" Buddhism (convert the results of meditation that tangible actions to bring the friendliness, benefits and happily for the people around her).

Meditate by sitting alone will help give the attention becomes more flexible, and more stable. Thanks to it we will be aware of a more transparent way of his own actions.

We will also discover products feature's the quiet helps us find the interaction and engrossed it between us and the lively atmosphere to expand. The philosopher Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855, the theologians and the Danish philosopher, advocated Existentialism-existentialism) States that: "the life and the world in the way we all view of falling into a real severe disease. If I was a doctor and if anyone asks I think about humankind then I will tell him that: "Please shut up now! So my stats for a prescription of silence ".

Meditation is a medical miracle. It gives us the stillness, a stillness so necessary for each of us.

Many teachers advise us for every hour you should take out a minute of silence. Just right every time we stop and retained his position at the time, whether sitting, standing or lying. We just nonchalantly do what she needs to do throughout the fifty-nine minutes earlier, but to the final minute of each hour they should stop to meditation. We can turn the map to tell us something: him.

When you hear the ring of the watch should then take the direction of mind on her breath. Keep track of breath in and breath out.

Would matter a minutes passed, but also just a minute well enough to help us enjoy what brings back from his heart and mind as they combine together to the same direction in space is expanding. (In the case of regular meditation can not a minute in each hour, you should remind yourself that silence was really necessary: when would feel his mind oscillate, restlessness, anxiety, anger, fear, or suddenly found themselves smiling said Huyen Thien without control. The time please try looking on her breath, track each breath in and breath out ... after a minute, then naturally the emotion all mixed up confusion on here would also settle down right down. Although it is not a form of meditation in its proper sense, but also as a panacea to cure run temporary help for the "pain" is anyone slightly less).
