How can I keep my ears clean and free from external interference when meditating?

If you believe what I say, you will do it, if you don't believe it, you will pull it, and if you are a beginner to Buddhism, read more Buddhist scriptures, have some insights, practice meditation, and wait until you have a certain foundation of Buddhism in your heart, otherwise you will be empathetic, cranky, and no one supports it, and it is easy for demons to get into your heart.

For meditation The Confucian method is very good· Washing, bathing, the environment is clean, and ordinary behavior should be standardized.

You can repair the root of Guanyin's ears.

Master Hanshan's experience: Master Hanshan traveled to Wutai Mountain (in present-day Wutai County, Shanxi) again, and lived in Longmen in Beitai. Here, there are only a few old houses, hidden in danger of a snowy wasteland; At the turn of spring and summer, the snow and ice begin to melt when the deep mountains and valleys are frozen, mixed with the water of the streams and springs, and pour out of the mountains in a steady stream.

Because it is a deep mountain wilderness, it is very quiet, so the sound of the ice flowing, colliding, and impacting sounds like thousands of horses galloping and spreading for ten miles in this silent atmosphere. Master Hanshan asked Monk Miaofeng to see if he was like himself, and he heard so earth-shattering. However, Monk Miaofeng told him:

The ancients admonished us, saying, "If we who practice meditation can practice meditation in 30 years until we hear the sound of water and do not turn our minds, then we will be able to attain the Dharma of Enlightenment as described by Guanyin Bodhisattva." When Master Hanshan heard this, he was quite inspired, so he found a stream and ditch during the day, and sat on the single-plank bridge on it, deliberately cultivating.

At first, he could hear the sound of water, like thunder; After a long time, he gradually forgot where he was. As for the sounds of nature, they all left his body and mind, as if they really didn't exist.

One day, after eating breakfast porridge, Master Hanshan wanted to go to cultivate his body and mind again, but he suddenly stood still, as if in the middle, he felt the great light of Buddhism; I feel that this great light method is like a round mirror, and all the mountains, rivers, earth, and everything can find their images in it. After a while, Master Hanshan woke up from this holy realm of Buddhism, only to feel that his body and mind were clear, as calm as water; When I thought about the Dharma Sacred Realm just now, I couldn't find any trace of them.

So, he wrote another poem:

At a glance, the mad heart rested, and the inner and outer roots were penetrating;

Turning over and touching the great void, Vientiane Sen Luo died in vain.

The manifestation of the heart being attached to the root of the ear, which is normal for primary meditation. Attaching the mind to the focused breath or the mind to the body (resembling a linden tree) can improve the situation. There are also those whose minds are able to concentrate on the Buddha.

I wish you the best of luck.
