Buddhism Meditation: Bringing Up And Clearing Up

PREFACE We are living in a busy and turbulent world, where stress and anxiety easily invade the mind. Meditation, a concept that is no longer strange, has been mentioned in many schools of thought and religions around the world. From the quiet prayer in Christianity, the meditation of Taoism, the Sufism of Islam, to Dhyana in Hinduism, each tradition has its own approach. However, meditation is still considered a characteristic forte of Buddhism, with countless highly enlightened Zen masters culminating in the Arhats who have attained complete non-self (Anatman).

  QUESTION 39: WHAT ARE THE TECHNIQUES (SAMATHA) OF MEDITATION?

  Aug 18, 20262 min

  QUESTION 39: WHAT ARE THE TECHNIQUES (SAMATHA) OF MEDITATION? ANSWER: Begin by becoming aware of the entire body, from the head to the hands and feet. Feel the entire body, keeping it relaxed and motionless. This technique enhances awareness and reduces wandering thoughts, but it is only the first step in meditation practice.The second technique involves directing greater awareness to the lower part of the body, as this is where wandering thoughts originate. This advanced technique aligns with the intricate relationship between the mind, body, and internal energy (vital air). Unfortunately, this principle is often overlooked. Many meditation teachings neglect this approach, instead instructing practitioners to focus on areas like the head or nose. This approach may initially help sharpen concentration but can lead to negative effects over time, including mental instability, headaches, weakened internal organs, and even severe psychological imbalances, such as psychosis and delusions. This phenomenon is traditionally referred to as Zouhuo Rumo .The third technique involves breath regulation. The breath serves as a vital bridge between the body and the mind, making it a central focus in nearly all meditation traditions. Masters and lineage teachers across various spiritual disciplines emphasize its significance, with the Buddha himself stating, "One who sees the breath sees the Dharma." Breath regulation is a high-level practice that unfolds in progressive stages, from basic to advanced techniques, each designed to refine concentration and deepen meditative absorption (to be explored in further detail).#Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #LawOfKarma, #CauseAndEffect, #UniversalTruth, #KarmicRetribution, #AxiomaticTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind, #SpiritualLogic, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #BeliefAndUnderstanding

  QUESTION 38: WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE BODY BOTH RELAXED AND STILL?

  Aug 17, 20262 min

  QUESTION 38: WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE BODY BOTH RELAXED AND STILL?ANSWER: Maintaining a body that is both relaxed and still is undoubtedly difficult, yet it is essential for deep meditation. Every movement or tension in the body directly influences the brain. When any part of the body tenses or shifts, the brain responds accordingly. Conversely, when the body remains soft, relaxed, and motionless, brain activity gradually settles, stabilizing the nervous system and allowing long-held stress to dissolve.Thus, while maintaining awareness of the entire body and exercising control over it, we must ensure that the body remains both relaxed and motionless. This balance enables the brain to enter a state of ease, supporting the mind in achieving stillness and calmness. Furthermore, a dignified posture cultivates a dignified mind, while physical stillness creates the conditions for mental tranquility. Similarly, a relaxed body fosters a sense of lightness and ease in the mind.If the body is relaxed but not still, discomfort, such as numbness or pain from prolonged sitting, may cause involuntary movements, which will disrupt mental focus due to the deep connection between body and mind. Conversely, if the body remains still without proper relaxation, it can become rigid, creating tension and strain on the brain.Therefore, to progress to higher levels of practice, practitioners must diligently and attentively cultivate body stabilization and alignment. More importantly, regardless of level of advancement, one must always maintain the correct full-lotus posture, maintain full awareness of the entire body, and ensure the body remains relaxed yet still and motionless. #Buddha , #Buddhism , #Buddhist , #Truedharma , #Meditation , #Enlightenment , #Buddhatemple , #TheLawofKarma , #Blessing , #Goodblessing , #Janna , #JannaMonastery , #JannaOrderMonastery ,
