3. can not have lust: 



There was not a monk for, but his family. Because the monks themselves prostitution ring. Home of the disciples, after four hours between husband and wife can not meditate intercourse because intercourse or sexual misconduct within four hours of pre-meditation, then, it is easy to damage the kidneys; within four hours after intercourse, then meditation of the couple, but also easy to damage the body. So meditation is not immediately after intercourse, to be separated by at least four hours; Similarly, immediately after intercourse can not meditate, you must rest after four hours and then meditate, meditate immediately if it is easy to get sick.

2. not seeking supernatural powers: 


We meditate not to seek supernatural powers, but in order to improve enlightenment. In fact, each of us are all supernatural powers, but our method can be enough, and therefore it can not be brought supernatural powers. If you are to seek supernatural powers and meditation, then it is best not to meditate, otherwise, you can easily run amok. It can not find the time to meditate supernatural powers, seeking supernatural powers not only can not become a Buddha, pour into the magic may have your copies! Because your heart has been seeking, that is persistent, and persistent precisely into the magic factor. Meditation is a meditation, meditation is to bring the heart quiet. Conversely, if you are bent on seeking supernatural powers, then the heart of meditation can quiet down? Meditation itself is to purify the hearts of delusion, washing the empty net to distractions in our hearts, is not persistent, is not paranoia, is not greed, in order to truly become a Buddha. Buddhist cloud: from the heart pure Buddha. Achievement of the Buddha alone condition is empty net from the heart, if not from the heart is not empty net, the Buddha never be achievement. The ultimate goal of our Buddhist meditation is not supernatural, but consciousness, therefore, do not meditate pursuit supernatural powers.

1. can not press delusion: 


When meditation is not to suppress the delusion, but to be transformed delusion. Very interesting to say, even the usually we want to have some idea can not remember, and a meditation on all manner emerge, what delusions are up, this time, how do we deal with it? First of all we need to know, imagination as to meditate is of little use; We need his heart back, on top of security, including living environment, or select the edge of a border ("the edge of the border" is in the heart simulation, imagine something, and then stare at this image carefully, do not let it shake, disappear, this image is called "the edge of the border."), as the "great Perfection" in view of "ah" word in general, or choose one of the edge of the border , after the selected start practice, taken heart keep Italy, on the edge of the heart horde territory, as the Broncos tied it at the stake is not the same as running around outside. We stop to repair his heart, only repair is to close photo Moreover loose heart, heart to heart horde up the edge of the territory, do not let it scattered outside run.

So how do we put the heart on the edge of the territory it? For example, we put a flower as the margin for the environment, our hearts nothing more than scattered, Ann lived in spend, spend is our territory from the heart of the edge, so we can choose something you like to do the edge habitat, the heart set on the edge of the border, so the idea to hold back the edge of the territory that, at this point began to practice mindfulness, stability and our hearts fixed in one position. This is the first stage of revised. The edge of the border can also be a seed, spell, flowers, statues, etc. can be, will be transformed into our delusion on the edge of the territory, peace of mind living on the edge of the territory, eyes intently watching the edge of the border, you can not look around, to concentrate , intently watching, like archery sight, like stare, do not blink, do not leave, do not even swallow, either saliva, tears, snot flow out naturally do not care. Heart visualize the border edge, the heart does not panic jump and natural tranquility, peace of mind, relax; Finally, we have to do when you meditate unwavering, hardened, as if numb lost consciousness, and died the same, if the dead can pipe out what things? No matter what thing are you, peace of mind is meditation!

If you meditate too much delusion, delusion came out, and put a spell lift, use a spell to transform their idea. Do not go to press the idea, because the idea is hid, and the more pressure will be more. Do not press the idea of ​​meditation, the idea came not pressure nor prevented by it, let it go, ignore ignore the natural call of the air, which is transformed. Meditation is not to suppress delusion, delusion is the idea of ​​crushing repression, stagnant water gone down to the idea, an idea not up, your meditation is "dead in" there. Stagnant not Hidden Dragon, refused to give up without consciousness, if not the mind with delusion, so if you can not become enlightened. So we have a lively enlightened mind, wisely put into a magical delusion, delusion one come first, not repression, immediately transformed; Second, although the idea come, do not worry about it; third, delusion return empty, it self off.

Meditation

Before we talk about what's good about meditation, let me try this in Nike way.

Meditation is easy to practice, but hard to master it. A bit like LOL and Dota right? No, actually, it is not. Because, it's all about you. There is no competitor in this workout. And just like any workout, the more you do it, the more you know about it. (maybe you will be better at it, I am not sure) The point is, this is that kind of thing you need to learn by doing it, not thinking about it or plan about it.


What is Meditation


Let's go back a little bit. I still need to explain what is meditation. For me, it is a workout, that help you stay in what every you want to. For example, someone want to focus more on his job, meditation can help you with that.

Why should I meditate?

If you wan to ask this, you shouldn't. Well, I don't want to tell people what to do with their life. I just want to do what I like to do, meditation can help me fast forward to that. So I like to practice it. Off course, there is a lot of benefits about it. Basically, it help you use your mind better. Your mind is like a pet, it need training to do what you want, and tricks, and many many more things that you don't expect in the first place, but he will.

There are a lot of guide out there. My friend told me 2 of them.



But this is how I start it.

  • step1 : Find a place that you can sit comfortable.
  • step2: Close your eyes (turn off your light if possible, use your iPhone to do so awesomely)
  • step3: focus on your breath, and do it as long as you can do.
If this is your first time try to meditate, you will be surprise, how long you actually stay focus on it. But do it anyway, and see you next time.
