Y êu what? What is its value? There are many things to love? Love in the Buddha's teachings with others with love not common sense? In the first session we understand what love is? These are issues we can discuss before we even start talking or writing about love.
People use many words to say about love. We write about it, talk about it (it is the essential part of everyday words), read about it and see it as the very essence of life. We have the saying: "Love brings many splendor, splendor", "Love means never saying sorry", "Love makes the earth go round" and a slogan such as says: "Make love, not war" (make love, not war created).
Now we return to the problem: "What is love?". The dictionary defines love in many ways it feels like a warm, gentle, deep feelings of love and affection for that person or that love is inextricably linked to, dedication to a person or people you love, the feeling of brotherhood bound sympathy and love to all fishermen? i, often passionate feelings of love by people passionate for others, by appeal of sexual and mating.
To fit we will begin our discussion on the definition here of a kind of love. Love the feeling it is passionate, tender for others, their desire to be happy. It is the feeling of tenderness, care, and affection, unselfish love, do not expect to get response or not, it's a noble sentiment, to overcome all obstacles barriers of religious beliefs , sex, race, national ... It extends to all living creatures in the universe, including insects, fish, animals and expressions.
Love is not desirable or despicable they loved emotionally, with a tight, its unintended sexual. It is not gratification or sexual pleasure. Exactly, we have to understand that between two lovers must love between husbands and wives. In relationships they have with the care, affection and tenderness. Their love can not be disinterested. It is a blend of strong charismatic and sensual pleasures.
Love is the legal responsibility of the change, if an object does not meet or satisfy the sexual desire or enemy. So this shows that love is interdependent, limited and subjective. We consider it to be a vile emotionally or less noble, not noble, completely selfish and vague. All this will be discussed below us.
Love is based on the subjective side, it is also appropriate to discuss the issue of sexual desire. The sexual desire is what? Again dictionary defines it as a desire to satisfy the senses of physical lust, sexual desire, sexual desires particularly intense as looking for a deal Chronic restraint can not be, okay irresistible thirst. So we can see that the love between two people in a certain extent of sexual desire can not be separated, the sexual desire associated with craving satisfied feeling , and that as we know that feeling very intense and it is tame, rising to blindly passionate feelings of love and is even despair. It can rise to more than jealous rage, anger and frustration when lovers disloyalty or when love is unrequited.
And so again, this is not the kind of love we will discuss here, because this is love-profit and conquer the desire to achieve and feel satisfied. However, there are undeniable feeling of affection, tenderness, care and love between two lovers, between husband and wife. Even they may be dependent, and influenced by each other's sexual appeal. May be starting from a higher kind of love you, they can also ask for a better understanding of a nobler kind of love and appreciation, and ultimately developed a kind of love that transcend all barriers obstacles, limitations and circumstances.
So, the kind of love that we will discuss below is looking for love and delight in bringing happiness to others. It's a noble sentiment, unselfish, always expect good results as what we desire, desire not reciprocated, even without appreciation or gratitude. For love because tolerance, love found delight in the joy and happiness that flashed in the eyes or on the face of the other (seen as the fruit of love and sharing ). So it can be said that the reward is meaningful, that we all try harder and it is rated as "the fruit of love." Always wished for others are all good things, the scarlet roses welcome along the way to pray for them and they do not suffer injury or pain.
So "love recipe" in the Buddhist tradition-mail, we wish that "all beings are happy and healthy, free from harm and danger. Than are peaceful mind, not suffer. Wishing everyone concerned, caring together filled with happiness. "
The life of the Buddha is a typical example of the immense love and his love. It took over two virtues: Metta (Love, From) and karuna (compassion, love, Bi), and he gave up worldly life full of luxuries, and material pleasures which he lived to to find the path of liberation, end all suffering. After finding the solution, he shared it to all beings, they want a taste of the very-happy brain, Nirvana happiness that they can achieve in the life of each person through a clean mind.
And Buddha said enthusiastically recommend all of His disciples go far and wide ban propagation of his teachings to be A lot of people to which they can also taste the sweet nectar cuasu liberation. He himself was a great master, after his enlightenment he went preaching tirelessly around Indian country, He taught all classes of society for 45 years until he entered nirvana at the age of 80.
Buddha encouraged monks and His disciples often radiate loving kindness. His request to be filled with them and spread all over the world with a loving heart that is like "are far ahead, spread everywhere and endless." Anyone in any position, even going, standing, sitting, lying down, he also encouraged his followers often spread kindness, compassion to all beings.
In the Buddha's teachings, no slots or jealous enmity, even though a little iota. Love is kind of like a love supreme and paramount. It's not easy to love fully and wholeheartedly, full attention, do not expect any reward whatsoever. Make sure it is extremely difficult for us to develop this love to achieve the level of purity, chastity as the Buddha - the whole love being covered up, it does not burn or calluses that it was calm and even tempered with wisdom and serenity.
We begin to cultivate this kind of love when we practice meditation and loving kindness vipassana vipassana . Metta meditation and loving kindness is special weapon effective against hatred and anger. And through meditation practice vipassana, love and compassion can also bear buds, blooms when we empathize and destiny entwined with each other that all that we are all companions in misery SAMARA , or in other words we are all the same boat. In the following pages we will discuss the issue encapsulates our part in the development of Metta . Practicing meditation vipassana we also mentioned in another book titled "Welcome to vipassana ".
-Ooooo-
Metta Bhavana (Compassion Meditation)
T sage of Metta, or loving kindness is particularly suitable for those who are angry temperament, such as an easy-tempered, the simmering hatred and find it difficult to forget or forgiveness, or foster animosity and hatred. For people with the hot air will be troubled by anger, they find only be happy when their temperament is regular exercise. And even those who are calm when practicing this meditation there are many benefits, as we all are frequently annoyed or upset and after exercise will help us to keep calm more.
Besides, there are other benefits which we will discuss later. Although now we are talking about a benefit, but the benefits of practicing metta, eventually developed a kind of love that is love because love, just as alleviate the pain and suffering of others promote goodwill, cheer and happiness. The benefits we say here, then this will become a minor or trivial. But at the moment we started as motivation to keep training.
One of the topics of meditation is to focus on a subject or just in your head. When the mind is in a section, it will become more stable and calm and quiet. At the same time wandering tendencies also be stopped, at least for the time or interest to be attracted to the subject. Mind is very cool and comfortable when we come to feel calm, quiet mind, peace of specified headings, just focus in that topic alone. Calm the mind becomes calm like lights burn steadily without flashing. Of course, experienced the feeling of calm that only he himself tasted to understand and enjoy it alone.
The next principle is to specify a title in mind, it's on the subject of meditation. When the meditation of love and compassion, is heading the concept of love, desire all beings are entitled to be happy. There are many different methods you can use to spread loving kindness Metta and see it as a subject. Here we will discuss some of the methods that can be practiced successfully.
The first method is expressed in the following four lines:
* Be relaxed, trying to get out of harm and danger.
* Relaxing to break out of the mental pain.
* Relaxing to get out of physical pain.
* In order for the main yourself to be happy.
Four lines are easy to remember, the meditator should be chanted over and memorized in the beginning (the first anniversary just need to stop loud). The mind is like a computer and the idea is to program the mind with thoughts of good wishes to everyone. So, we can say that the more overwhelmed by these thoughts, the more heart filled with love. Because when you thought, your mind will begin to focus on topics of love, wishing happiness to everyone. Unrelated thoughts go out or get rid of it away and finally we do not have entrance. Now that would be of interest, has been assigned topics and you will feel the special static state, we quietly mentioned previously.
Before continuing we need to explain the meaning of the four lines that we thought. Once you understand the importance of them, we will naturally understand their meaning and implications of the concept or sprinkle our love of good sense.
There are two kinds of harm and danger: the danger and harm of - damage and external dangers. Harm and dangerous inside the box including our slide such as greed, hatred, deception, anxiety, anxiety ... that causes us so much pain mentally. Damage and external dangers related to the dangers that we may face outside, such as accidents, natural disasters (fires, floods, landslides, earthquakes ...) and from those who want hurt us. No one wants to be the dangerous whether occurring inside or outside, even though the risk of going hiemben more scary.
The slide box is considered even worse than the dangers inside. Forums have heard say, we are the most dangerous enemies of our own. If we can overcome, victory slipped inside the box we can cope with obstacles outside without fear or worry.
The meaning of this verse is clear. It includes all the mental pain, from subtle to gross. It consists of pain, such as worry, anxiety, fear, frustration, sadness, discouragement, despair, or any state of mental illness that can lead to confusion, serenity or have extreme pain. No one wants to suffer, tormenting both. We want to always be calm, peace and happiness.
Again, the meaning of this verse is very clear. It includes all the physical pain from the pain of physical petty such as colds, headaches to severe pain, including cancer and heart disease. No one wants to suffer the physical pain.
Here, we want to say that day by day all human beings can live a peaceful and happy. All we need to begin to address the everyday errand and be responsible about it. Students need to learn when to go for adult life. We need relationships and friendly harmony with those around us, such as: co-workers, friends, relatives, family members and those who love us.
If we do not behave well with them, life will be difficult, obstacles. So, if we want to get people to love you, have little or do not have conflicts, and make more goodwill, sympathy and mutual understanding. Then we need to fulfill our mission. We need to do the job effectively if not then we will have a lot of problems.
On the other hand, every day we need health care: physical and mental. Because of this body, we need food, clothing, medicine when sick ... These are also the everyday junk surf and we need to continue to live and make them calm and happy. And also need spiritual care anymore. We need spiritual cleansing by meditation, regular exercise, cultivate good moral character and show, behave brainer.
So, when we say: "In order for myself to be happy". This sentence implies that generalizations covering all aspects of daily life. So you can appreciate that the four lines beginning: "let's try relaxing escape from harm and danger", that included an overview of what all people desire. Understand, full importance of the four lines, then the spread of attention from us will mean many more.
-Ooooo-
M PRELIMINARY t sitting in meditation posture is normal: sitting cross-legged on the floor with your back straight (or on a chair because he can not sit on the floor). Eyes closed, body relaxed and mentally four questions (do not read the words read aloud or just mentally).
Chanted the four questions within ten minutes, thirty minutes or an hour. Continue thought a hundred times, a thousand times, a hundred thousand times, a million times. Mindfulness over how long and how many times it is not necessary. Just thought, idea, concept only. It is only a short programming only. We are programmed into the thoughts of loving kindness and goodwill to all beings. When we thought we did not need to think about the meaning of this sentence because we know the importance of it. A natural and gradual concept when we feel love kindness and goodwill to all beings will spill over, spread over us humans. We will be filled with harmless sense, we do not want to harm or hurt another person or not nurture any anger or malice towards anyone. It is a very comforting feeling.
When we thought or by sprinkling the center of attention will naturally be focused on a topic and calm. Mind will become calm, quiet and calm. These verses it can flow smoothly like the radio is turned up. Sometimes the mind calm because we can forget our anniversary or jump to another question. That of course only. Once we know we have the usual notion. By this meditation will naturally develop. No need to rush or be attained meditation speculated before, it will come naturally as you mature, rote work.
-Ooooo-
C basil're spreading our attention from the concept of the words on. As the concept has memorized mind becomes focused on a subject or set, such as: loving kindness and spread the kindness. Then stop wandering mind and are scattered state of mind. When the mind wanders when the state stopped thinking about this, or this or that, anxiety, contemplation, contemplating ... stopped, the concentration, the focus on a subject. During the, quiet and peaceful mind will naturally arise. The meditation will feel comfortable, relaxed and relieved.
This is a very exciting feeling and excitement that can only be tasted the new meditation. It alleviates the stress from the usual habits of mind are often tempted and semen was consumed by thoughts, worries or concerns. The calm in a soothing meditation and evoke pleasure. This is the great happiness happy more than anything else "expressions" of human freedom with its delight. This is the kind of happiness that the Buddha praised - not the worldly pleasures and then there are scenes, sounds, smells, feelings ... pleasant. The Buddha pleasure to be mediocre and vile and bring pain as well as it will make the box with sliding center.
However, achieving meditative feeling happy or pleasant to experience and enjoy the food. Once people taste it and meditate, he will be less attracted to the pleasures of orgasm, less a slave of pleasure. Taste the happiness and noble spirit of happiness is not mundane, he will be able to check the aspirations of his own pleasure better. He liked the feeling of happiness is noble of spirit.
Technically, when the mind has five obstacles (nivaranas, hindrances) are overcome. They are: a desire pleasure, double the grudge, malice or anger, these three are the lazy, drowsy such as: sleeping, drowsiness, dullness, four is not the time to rest and care always wandering, anxiety and suspense, is in doubt (about the practice of focusing ability is not ...).
So, when a concentrated meditation, the mind strong, steadfast and five obstacles are seen as the good state of mind will naturally disappear. When this barrier disappears, the mind becomes concentrated. Mind no longer desire or craving pleasures pleasures while meditating. It does not even feel angry or evil, no longer sleepy or drowsy, restless or anxious or skeptical. Therefore, the mind becomes calm, satisfied and peaceful. In the quiet of this year to attract more (jhana, meditation-na) arises. They are:
Vitakka: usually understood as the first effort of the mind (range). This means that the heart is hit the target, heading directly to the right of the subject of meditation. Mind wandering is not anymore.
Vicara: or the maintenance effort of the mind (Quartet). That is, the mind is fixed on the object, which reside in a state short but the impact of the constant repeating of the mind, or the impact on the subject. Vitakka drove straight into the center section while giving attention vicara the e? Titles ng up and stay there.
Result, Piti (free) is the refreshing of the spirit will grow. The meditation will feel comfortable, relaxed. He enjoyed the feeling of enjoy feeling like a pleasant vibe throughout the whole body moves. Sometimes he felt lightheaded Piti like limbs suddenly raised, or raised or twitching of his body hovering.
Sukha (Us), or the well-being and development. This sukha like Piti but elegant lightness or more sublime. So when sukha emerged the grossest kind Piti will go down and the meditator gently feel very comfortable. As it is taught in the "long-term comfort instantly." The meditation is contented and comfortable. In this state he no longer desires the feeling of pleasure that can now be seen as crude and vile, hot and more agitated as quiet and smooth as the happiness in meditation with a robust spirit.
Ekaggata (heliocentric) is assigned to a subject of interest. Finally, the value of ekaggata was to arise. Mind becomes steady and static, focusing on a subject like the lights were burning when no wind, or like has been glued to the pillar that can not be shaken. The experience of meditation can Ekaggata clear his heart is steadfast and became quiet, like the pillar was buried could not budge. In this factor also appears on the go in meditation meditation occurs in approximately five of goodwill that will herald the arrival of Zen-na, Jhana.
But while these people go into a state of meditation is not consistent and obstacles can still pulled infringement and meditation. However, the five-story center achieve meditative-na, the five elements or become solid and obstacles disappear completely. So when there is meditation, the meditation-na are less likely to be interrupted and who can now meditate concentration in five, ten, twenty, thirty minutes, one hour or can be during the many days without being a disturbance to any of the obstacle.
He can keep this status will depend on how long the skill during practice and the power of his meditation (samadhi). Even when the interruption occurred he could easily restore his focus by continuing to spread kindness. This is stated in Note that for a good meditation, lost in meditation while more significant for some reason he can not recover it without any difficulty.
Mettabhavana (compassion meditation) is part of meditation brahma-vihara (four categories), including love (metta), compassion (karuna), altruistic joy (Mudita) and equanimity (upekkha ): compassionate petal. According Visuddhi Magga (Path of Purification), the meditator can achieve even meditation-na three floors with topics of love (metta), compassion (karuna) and altruistic joy (Mudita), while reaching the quarterfinals meditation can calm titles (upekkha).
To hone these factors have attracted the exercises listed in Visuddhi Magga. But because time does not allow me to list them all here practicing. However, a spread kindness meditation based on four lines of business in which we have mentioned above can achieve good meditation. If he worked hard, and he can often be achieved in attracting the right in the static state. Or the exercise of his will be the foundation for the development of the meditation-na later. As we have discussed in the previous section, the basic principles of meditation is developed to prevent obstacles in approaching and attracting five elements have become stronger and arises.
-Ooooo-
C Europe's answer: - As long as possible. In focusing on the explosive lucky meditation practice spread kindness throughout the day and night, while sitting or walk and even in daily activities such as eating, bathing, washing ... the meditator may focus training for several days, weeks, months.
But most people can not afford to focus collective efforts to luyep. They can practice all their max level. You can spread attention from ten minutes to an hour after waking up every morning. Even scattered within five minutes from the center alone is better than no attention from spreading. While continuing to work on your everyday style. You can spread kindness anytime, anywhere. You can spread it while you take a walk somewhere, while you are in office, factory, while eating, bathing ... Few concepts in mind from the beginning by the four lines are very simple recipe at the end of the center will come from very easy and smooth. After a hard working day in the evening or after midnight, you can spread from the center under way in calm posture. When you go to bed can also spread from the center until you sleep.
When a person a regular meditation practice he will feel comfortable and at last he could not help but full of goodwill to all people. He will not feed resentment or hatred, he would not have the desire, desire to have it all. He or she also will not easily get angry or irritated. He will be patient and have more tolerance. It is the result of excellent practice. All of us should have a habit of spreading kindness Metta. daily The Buddha spread kindness Metta and he also advised his followers do the same.
Sprinkle plate from Metta is good way to keep the mind clear and healthy. Our mind often wander everywhere, respond to greed, anger, deception, anxiety, wondering ... But when we are scattered from the center ie we replace unhealthy thoughts with healthy thoughts, clean. Thus our mind becomes calm and focused easily in time we do anything. The curb was troubled mind and for this reason will lead to our mind less anxiety and complete daily tasks more effectively.
N nowhere mentioned above, when you start spreading kindness meditation practice metta kindness you can spread yourself to the concept by a brief four lines:
- Let's try relaxing escape harm and danger.
- Relaxing to break out of the mental pain.
- Relaxing to get out of physical pain.
- To give yourself I was happy.
However, we do not need long-sprayed by the way, because it is just the beginning of your training. Maybe you thought those lines about ten minutes or a few minutes when you start sitting. Then you can change to goodwill towards others, think that you wish good things to yourself then it also wishes to all beings. Then you can sprinkle fully spread kindness to yourself and immediately spread the kindness to others means that you wish them well and happy just like you.
In Visuddhi Magga taught that meditation can never be meditation-na by spreading kindness itself to him. Therefore, goodwill towards his own goal just get him to do yourself examples only. With that in mind he wishes all the best to him, then will come to all living beings. It helped awaken the willingness and desire to bring good health and happiness for others.
T donation to charity care methods usually spread to all beings, the meditator can also spread charity care in a specific way clear to a certain person or group of people. He can spread charity care to a friend, a colleague, a superior, a teacher, a wife or a husband to a loved one, relatives, parents, children .. .
Wherever he may be the spread of charity care, always think: May all beings around us free from harm and danger ... the meditator can spread charity care to specific groups such as the ones all the varieties (such as animals, insects, the bodies of females) the male, and with all ariyas ( attained the lofty rank of saints), anariyas (ordinary people attain the saints), to all mankind, the gods (Devas) and to all beings apàya (those who are subject to the suffering the painful circumstances of hell, the animal world, ghosts and demons).
The meditation center charity can spread to all directions, to all beings in the east, south, west, north, northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest, in the direction, instruction below. He can spread charity care based on each area locations, the first such to all beings in the house, then outward to the neighborhood, district, province, city, country , the world and the universe.
As you can see we can practice different exercises while Metta meditation. This exercise is really interesting. In Visuddhi Magga, the meditation practice to hone na-started by the scattered population of charity care by individuals, such as: the first meditation spread lover's heart charity and then to the one you love the most and to strangers and enemies to toiu (who is vicious, his resistance).
In this method, because meditation is just starting point see the individual as a subject, so this will definitely not fit to spread charity care to a member of the opposite sex will ensure that the dangers of desire and sexual pleasure and interest incurred on pollution disease, should only arise when the heart is pure metta meditation. But when the meditator is spread charity care to all living beings including nghioa is evident both feminine and masculine. Since the beginning of the cultivation jhana the meditator when selecting an individual, he should not choose the opposite sex. But eventually he became familiar with the exercise smoothly, there is no reason why he can not choose the opposite sex, and purpose now is to spread our heart and not from Metta Meditation to hone -na.
Because Metta is love and this will not make sense if we can not do this to spread the love our parents, our grandparents, or the husband or the wife and children of the opposite sex because they . So people should understand that meditation exercises in Visuddhi Magga guidance only as the focus of meditation hone na, then be careful not to choose a member of the opposite sex.
However, in later stages, the meditator can spread kindness to anyone, otherwise it will not be Metta Metta meditation, if it does not do the job contained, all-inclusive, to overcome barriers and obstacles without distinction of race, religion, gender ... But when people meditate spread kindness done to a member of the opposite sex based on personal, anyway he should also alert the intrusion of desire and sexual pleasure. As we said just to hone Jhana (meditative-na), the meditator should not choose a member of the opposite sex based on individuals.
Magga Visuddhi only that the meditator should not spread to the heart from a dead man because he does not have the ability to focus during meditation. When a person died, he was transferred, reborn into a new world and it was seen as a dead person, not as a subject suitable for the cultivation of meditation Metta Jhana.
But we can do, if we're not training for the purpose of attracting achieve jhana concentration and length, but only as to spread kindness Metta, think this way: "Imagine object that, even now he is reborn in the world that is free from harm and danger ... ". In my mind, this will do no harm when the mind is always clean and all the best wishes to others.
L flexible collective love Metta and mindfulness can be a powerful combination. For example, in everyday life we can mindfully as much as possible into the daily activities and the mental state instead of letting our mind flying here and there. Then sometimes we can also interspersed between mindfulness to spread kindness Metta by the way our mind will be kept clean and healthy. The practice spread the love Metta and mindfulness. We will focus more on the daily work. We'll worry less and live happily, more comfortable.
When sitting meditation, the meditator should find a balance between practicing metta meditation and vipassana meditation (vipassana and mindfulness). Vipassana meditation gives us wisdom and understanding of the transient while samatha and metta is the problem so can only bring quiet state. So people should not neglect meditation vipassana meditation.
At first, people learn meditation Metta meditation, of course he should have more time to focus on practicing it. But after he achieved some progress in skills and training, he should balance it with vipassana meditation. It helps the meditator to find balance in his main. For example, he can Metta meditation a few minutes then switch to vipassana meditation. Or if he sat Metta meditation in the morning, the afternoon he can practice vipassana meditation.
Finally, it helps people find meditation good equilibrium. (Under the guidance of vipassana meditation, beginners meditation can refer to the book: "Invite to Vipassana meditation which explains the principles and benefits of mindfulness and meditation tutorial basic and simple which also presented).
Someone who constantly Metta meditation can expect benefits to 11:
So it is effective remedy insomnia. The practice of meditation should not take sleeping pills or sedatives that can bring about dangerous side effects. So for those that insomnia should be Metta meditation. Even people who meditate can spread charity care until he fell asleep. In stating the Magga Visuddhi Metta meditation as sleep is starting to achieve meditation. Furthermore he slept comfortably, not his back, snoring and restless as others.
Instead of waking up he muttered, his back snoring or waking up, he did not ease his turn. He's ready to start a new day with exclusive optimistic attitude, excitement and fun.
He did not dream that I was chasing robbers, want to run but can not run, tripped on short foot cliff or falling into deep holes or haunted by ghosts, demons ... Instead, if you have dreamed dreams and saw interesting or victory signs, such as future prospects are flying through cloud nine, see the sights or is listening and is giving way .. . Or he slept a dreamless peace.
This means he will not have enemies. Everybody liked him because of the nature of mind and spread the habit of his mind. He will make friends easily and always congenial with each other. People feel a sense of dynamic or positive vibe for loving kindness he always spread the.
This is a valuable benefit precious, because there is no enemy so we do not need to worry about other people want to hurt us. There is much more you make our lives happier. Furthermore, we will find the help and cooperation of everyone when we go anywhere.
The dead as expressions of animals and will also help him. It is also a good thing. We do not need to worry about being murdered or devil dogs barking and biting us or bitten.
This happened during the Buddha's lifetime. Once, a group of monks sitting in meditation in the forest to be a couple of possible harassment. This can take the form of the face are terrible and frightening noises cause to fear the monks. Then the monk and his flight to the Buddha advised them to return to the forest and spread from Metta Center. The monks have to follow his advice and knowledge to not only kill them but also stop protecting them. In the wake of the effect that it can even sweep resting place of monks and warm water for their preparation. After the last three months, the monks have attained A-la-drought in the woods.
Another story mentioned in Visuddhi Magga, a monk Visakha was preparing to leave the cabin in the woods on the island Tambapani (like Sri Lanka) is a tree form can appear before him, and mourn . Monk asked: "Why are you crying so bitterly?" The soul replied: "Because he was going to go." Monk asked: "I live here do for you?"
Respected sir, during his stay here, the food can behave very kind. Now he is gone, they started arguing about and participate in gossip. "
Monk said: "If my life here as you do the people live here peacefully, that's a good thing." And he stayed there, and in which he enlightened nirvana.
As for example in today's modern life, there are monks in Burma is famous for Metta meditation once recounted do not know why a violent angry bees attacked those around He and a strange thing is that it did not attack him. Honeycomb broke and scattered in a landscape they fly to sting people. Monk told everyone to run out of this place trying to escape the bees. Indeed bees did not sting him and even when he went to the hive to find what causes them angry. The ferocious bees fly out of the nest as rain, but still did not sting him. Dathuat laisu this monk in the lectures as encouraging people to practice metta meditation.
On another occasion while I was in Burma, I saw a sparrow fly phiua t grave monks and perched on his shoulder. The bird had to think a bit before it flew away. And in that moment the monk Metta meditation is focusing his standing and spread from Metta Center while waiting for the other monks knocking gong press lunch, when suddenly the bird flying toward him.
Failure lightning all these examples, the meditator may merit praise Metta meditation. There is no exercise that is considered a relief.
When people meditate honor the gods by then they will protect him. One example mentioned previously the case monks who were the first gods disturbing while meditating in the forest. After first convincing text by spreading kindness Metta. The monks were the gods that protect the more time they spent three months in the forest to protect him. They themselves can meditate without any problems. Meditating in the forest is also a factor in achieving A-la-drought in their last three months?
Today, if the first word condescend to protect us, sometimes we can get rid of the danger in a strange manner. Of course, protection and shelter our best is good truth and virtue. If we do good, we do not really afraid of anything. Because the good will be good results. There is a saying that those who uphold legal support phap.Vi so we rely on law, legislation will protect us. Yes, this is the best protection.
So, a Metta meditation practice according to legal and safety will be. This is the real protection of the Buddhist instead for a spell but its effectiveness is doubtful. Buddha considered the practice to resort to measures such as a spell bad and frustrated Frustrated any matter related.
In Visuddhi Magga mentions two events that occurred in the spring time of the Buddha's. A case of a female Buddhist devotees Uttara-mail with a different woman hooked up the hot oil for jealousy. But the Buddha-mail that did not get burned at all. Heating oil when she turned on the cold water turn into natural. Another event of a seven-year-old monk, Sankicca uncle was not hurt when cutter. There are a few pirates want to kill uncle offered to sacrifice to their gods. But when they took his sword, the sword bounces off both. Sword can not cut off this young monk. Amazement and awe before such work, the robbers were kneeling at the foot of young monks Sankicca His forgiveness and take refuge measures would improve care.
It is a story about a mother cow to calf nursing, then threw the spear hunters towards it. Spear bounced off flying simply because extraordinary inner strength of maternal love. So powerful is the most powerful love of charity!
As for the poison, one time my teacher - he was seventy years old recounted personal experiences he had gone through. As young as he was then stabbed Metta meditation by scales of a fish poison. At that time, he is trying to save the fish in the pond is dried up under water, suddenly he was stabbed because a fish is nurtured scales. His hand was bleeding, but he felt no pain and did not feel what the consequences of Agent.
On another occasion, he is trying to rescue a dog that fell into a well. He was trying to pull the dog up close to the well head and pulled his hand on the dog, then the dog bites him. As a frightened animal was trying to grab anything that can climb and its sharp teeth dug into his hand so that the climb. My teacher pulled it up and again he said he did not have any pain and feel no toxic consequences of his hand though the scar remains.
So sometimes even though the meditator inadvertently cut but by the power of Metta meditation practice that he can still protect him from being hurt or what the consequences of toxins.
Those who are spreading the love interest from the kindness of the heart which focuses very fast, no slow, sluggish when focused. This is because meditation helps keep the mind calm and clear mind, focused on a topic of interest and become healthy. Thus habits of mind is wandering without purpose and lead to distracted, frantic cuts back. This leads to better concentration while doing anything. So then he can do his job better. Course related to meditation, the focus will increasingly easier as he practiced regularly.
He or she will countenance serene and elegant. The beauty comes from the heart. It is reflected in the calm, the serenity and radiance face him. One of Metta THEN do not need cosmetics, beauty of nature is conveyed while beauty makeup is so fake. Even if her makeup was beautiful, she was bad or disgusting if she has bad streak or when angry. That is why the Buddha pointed out all kinds of flavor: jasmine and incense, headwind flight only taste and aroma of virtue that permeated all directions.
So, if he can enjoy the beauty of real, beauty comes from the heart, he should cultivate love and kindness precepts. Then, even if he does not have the body beautiful appearance, he will be radiant with color and serenity that will appeal to, and attract loving people.
Someday, all of us have to die that way though our daily lives that we often express completely forgotten the incident. Just as when he was alive to live a good moral life, when he died a peaceful death. Live a good life means peace noble life, preserving moral values and being honest, peaceful death meant a quiet death, are interested in peace and without fear or charm attachment, do not cry or grieve.
A live Metta meditation with a heart full of love for all beings desire to live so nice. He lived a moral life, the love gave him strength and is expressed through words, his actions.
Therefore, when death was imminent he was getting ready. He is calm and peaceful place to go. When thinking about his life, he will not regret having lived a life filled with love and ethics. So Visuddhi Magga stated that he died peacefully, peacefully fall asleep like.
In Buddhism, we are taught that death importance to peaceful life because our future depends on the last moment of our thoughts arise. If we die in the n bad record, we will be reborn in the bad place, then with positive thoughts, we will be reborn in a good place. Dead in meditation Metta loving kindness means to make sure we have a good network - the place that we can continue to endeavor, to strive to achieve Nirvana, the ultimate result of our I put an end to all the suffering, suffering.
So, a Metta meditation, if practiced regularly he will get attracted in the mediocre jhana, he's sure to be reborn in a magical world of Brahma. In this fantasy world people live in rich, full physical and mental enjoyment of life filled with happiness. Of course, if he can achieve the A-la-han, he will have an ultimate life.
A-la-drought means achieve nirvana paramount, such as: no longer be reborn, ending the cycle of birth and death, love over pain suffering. However, to achieve A-la-he must practice insight meditation (vipassana). Thus in the previous section we have stressed the need to balance practicing metta meditation spread kindness and insight meditation (vipassana). Even if only practicing Vipassana is not easily achieved A-la-drought results in a present life. It is possible that many lives have to be reborn again. He's still trying, much effort and know the right path perfection of virtue (the excellent results from previous lives) to be able to perform well in this life.
Finally the Buddha said in the Maha-Satipatthana that a practice of mindfulness meditation can quaA-la-elected after seven days or seven years. They can be obtained through three, û "anagami - a-na-function, no future" and in the lower level A-la-St. However, if not a saint they can be sure to be reborn in a good place where they can continue to strive to attain A-la-drought.

C basil banned me end our article title here to "tame the rage and spread the love." We have shown the harmful effects of anger and how to tame it through mindfulness meditation and wisdom. We have also presented Metta-bhavana methods such as meditation loving kindness is seen as a weapon against anger.
We have discussed in detail the many different benefits that meditation can be achieved through practicing metta meditation.

Finally, we all need to live in the mind with love and from introspection. We need to do whatever possible to bring their loved ones by guiding them in the wisdom and compassion man.Va we're also starting to make steady temperament and think that it may lead us to the wisdom and introspection. When we do not have the ability to damage it, then we do not get angry easily anything, just being in a state of mental cool and steady, remarks likely to assess any situations out calmly and respond with wisdom, we will live a life of peace and happiness.
Finally, when all the anger go away and only sharp intellect and compassion to guide our actions, we will have lasting happiness in this present life, not rebirth in the afterlife. Termination of suffering, the journey ended long wandering in samsara (samsara, one-grandmother) from an event produced a different event, born from suffering another painful. Yes, as we move to the fully mature stage in the wisdom and contentment, the cycle of birth and death will terminate. And Buddha said that Nirvana would be our world.
We do not know exactly what Nirvana is, but Buddha has repeatedly assured us that in the realm of Nirvana all sufferings are the exception, and only ended with a peaceful scene, really stick reigning comments. It is bringing a message of hope: Nirvana can be achieved in this life, and looking forward to the road no more rebirth . All of the Buddha-mail will reach nirvana because that is their ultimate goal and for those who are skeptical in themselves, we suggest that they do not lose them all if something went follow the path of love and wisdom that Buddha went through and tested in themselves through the teachings of the Buddha.
All human beings should cultivate the love of introspection and wisdom which ultimately led to the cessation of suffering and the realization of Nibbana, the highest happiness.
