The nine stages of meditation are the nine levels of meditation

The nine levels of meditation are as follows:

1. First dwelling: When you start meditating, there will always be a phenomenon of not being able to settle down, and thoughts will come flooding in, so that you can't stabilize yourself on the object you should focus on. This is the time to develop one's ability to contemplate, to hold back one's thoughts, to return to the goal, and to repeat it.

2. Continued dwelling: When the lost mind is constantly pulled back and can focus on the goal for a long time, it indicates that your heart has entered a stable state. The sign of a sustained state of mind is that you can focus your attention on your goal for five, six, or seven or eight minutes without interruption.

3. Return: This state of mind is longer than the previous state of focusing on the goal, such as ten to fifteen minutes, of course, it is uninterrupted, although there will occasionally be a drift of the heart, but it can quickly perceive and then find the heart back. It shows that its mental stability has improved again.

4. Close residence: It means that one's heart no longer loses the goal of focus, and this state indicates concentration.

Complete. 5. Stay:

When you settle down in the "near dwelling", although the mind becomes very concentrated and has a high degree of stability, there is a danger that there will be a slight lethargy. Many practitioners mistakenly think that thinness and drowsiness are very high samadhi.

realm, which leads to the obstruction of spiritual practice. Since it is very subtle, I have to cultivate a very sensitive "introspective alertness" to catch it.

6. Silence: Due to the development of a very keen introspective police force in the state of "subduing", the energy of the heart has increased a lot, but at this time there will be another danger: the careful lifting (scattering), and you must use a very strong introspective vigilance to recognize it and get rid of it.

7. The most lonely:

This state of mind is very stable, and you will be immersed in this state. Basically, there is no drowsiness or lifting, and even if there is a slight amount of lethargy or lifting, it is very easy to get rid of it by yourself.

8. Exclusive residence: The sign of this state is that there is no longer drowsiness or dropping, as long as it takes very little effort. The mind can focus on the goal, and focus as long as it wants.

9. Waiting: At this time, without spending any effort, you can focus on the goal while meditating, and you can settle down here effortlessly. At this point, the "want to define" has been reached. You have to continue to practice, and after a while, you will have a special kind of joy.

1.Indwelling: Touching all the external colors, sounds, fragrances, and touches, can take back the realm of greed and attachment.

2.Continued residence: The time of the inner residence has increased, and when I start to sit, I run out at once, and then pull it back, which is a continuation of the residence.

3.Settle down: I continued to live for a longer time, although I had the idea, but I knew in my heart that when I was lost, I quickly pulled it back, and it was to settle down.

4.Near residence: Basically able to settle down, but the heart is very fine, and I feel that it can be finer, so I pull it back again, and it is a close residence.

5.Stay: It is more subtle and habitual, and you don't need to pay special attention to it, it is to stay.

6.Tune in: All the gross afflictions have been subdued, softened, and become the pure Brahma realm.

7.Silence: After the adjustment, it is further quieter, and there are almost no worries and delusions.

8.The ultimate silence: absolute silence is the realm of a Buddha, without any troubles, delusions, attachments, not even light peace.

9.Leaving rebirth: Leaving the promising method of birth and death, leaving the method of birth and death of troubled karma.
