What are the benefits of meditation? What are the benefits of meditation

For us laymen, the primary purpose of meditation is to get rid of our troubles and gain inner peace. Especially in the city, people have to face too much every day, and if they solve the problem of survival, they want to develop their careers to the next level; When your career is stable, you want to find a suitable other half; If you are married, you have to work hard for your family and children. It is always a problem after a problem, it is always a rhythm that cannot be stopped, life is like a constantly stirring mixed water, there is no time to settle down and find the true self.

Meditation can make you calm down, let the pace of your mind slow down, think quietly in the green mountains and green waters, in the spiritual caves, and at the feet of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and cultivate your heart. Troubles are endless, and only by meditating, so that our hearts are calm and strong, can we get rid of them. If you are interested in meditation, I suggest you go to the Tiantai Mountain Mercy Grace Temple, I heard that the meditation class there is doing well.

Advantage??? Have compassion as the foundation!!

In life, we see that many people have obvious problems with their personality and emotions, either irritable, or sad, or sad, or happy and happy, in short, it is a very obvious abnormality.

In my opinion, this is a phenomenon of a lack of cultivation in the heart.

I have very obvious problems with my own personality, such as: irritability, such as anger, intolerance, and so on.

Lately, I've been reflecting on these personality expressions and how I can find ways to change them.

I have talked to some wise people and read some books, and finally I believe that only a small remnant of Buddhism can be effective in solving the problem of spiritual confusion. The main content of Xiao Yu is to teach people how to cultivate their minds.

I read a few books, such as "What Are You Busy With?" by Sodaji of Tibet. Hu Shi's "Tolerance and Freedom", Master Hongyi's "Not Anxious", Wen Siyuan's "There is a Wisdom Called Tolerance" ......Wait a minute.

Slowly, I noticed that it had some effect.

Some time ago, I encountered a few things, if it was before, I would have been angry and scolded my mother, as a result, I didn't say anything, and the people around me asked me, why don't you get angry? I asked him, what is there to be angry about? The other party said, if this matter was put in the past, you would have been angry a long time ago.

That's how I'm changing.

This is the result of cultivating one's mind.

Cultivating one's mind is called cultivation in Buddhism.

If a person wants to reach a high level at the level of thought, he must cultivate his mind, that is, he must cultivate.

Cultivation is actually enlightenment.

I have a friend who used to live a very depressed life, and later, the unit closed down, the family was in the middle of the road, and he worried about money all day long, and then later, he broke out, a lot of money, at this time, he compared himself with those who were very rich all day long, felt that his money was not enough, or was sad for money, and never saw him happy for a day. I saw it in my eyes and sighed in my heart.

This friend did not understand a reason: his desires were too high, and he had hurt himself.

This friend of mine should cultivate his mind.

I know he won't listen to what I say, but I hope he will understand it and be free from his desires.

Reduce desire, and man will be light; Be more tolerant, and people will be relieved.

That's the benefit of spiritual practice.

The following text is excerpted from the Internet:

What is Sadhana? What is the practice of purchasing?

For those who do not yet know what practice is, many answers may be obtained, and some think that chanting sutras and reciting Buddha is practice; Some people may think that printing scriptures and releasing lives are spiritual practices; Some people think that burning incense and worshiping Buddha every day is a practice; There are also those who think that doing good deeds is spiritual practice.

Actually, these are only the external and superficial contents of the practice, which can accumulate some merits, but they are not real practices.

True practice is to change one's habits, which is to change one's mind, words, and actions that do not conform to the nature of the universe, so that one's thoughts, words, and actions can gradually get closer to the Tao, and this is the true practice.

Buddhism is very clear that practice is to cultivate a clear mind, to break the separation of minds, and to establish an equanimity.

But there are many people who are still looking for the Fa everywhere and don't know where to cultivate.

Therefore, those who know how to practice are very simple in their cultivation, and those who do not know how to practice are always confused.

Meditation is centered, qualitative, and formal. The key is to see through and realize some true meanings. If the mind is impetuous, meditation is of no use.

The so-called meditation requires you to know what Zen is before you can practice it. If the starting point is wrong from the beginning, then you won't be able to make a name for yourself.

It can make you calm and no longer attached.
