After Zen Buddhism is enlightened, how to cultivate, and what should I do if I can t continue to pra

The so-called practice, from a certain point of view, can be said to be self-reflection, and in this kind of serious reflection, everyone will encounter some questions, such as, "Who am I?" Further, before my parents gave birth to me, I was in **? If there is no me, then I am illusory, out of nothing, there is no need to practice, if life is eternal, that is, permanence, happiness, self, and purity, then what is the point of practice?

Therefore, it is these contents that the reflection and pursuit of true practice is pursued, so true practice often goes through the following three stages, that is, Buddhism.

Among them, how to understand the three stages of "enlightenment and cultivation".

1. In the process of practice, one generally goes through what Buddhism calls "detachment meditation", that is, the first stage after true practice. So, what is renunciation meditation? As the name suggests, it means to be free from all attachments, not to dwell in all external conditions, to enter a state of concentration, and not to be disturbed by all external circumstances, that is to say, all external objective existences can no longer form any interference with them, and they are already partially free, which is "detachment meditation".

Many people who have attained renunciation meditation and think that they are already attaining enlightenment, so they dwell in such a state (meditation) and do not come out again, and the highest attainment that such a person can attain is an arhat.

2. Transcending the attainment of an arhat, that is, being able to pull out the root of attachment to "concentration", that is, to practice in "concentration", to break "concentration" in "concentration", and finally to have nothing to live in, that is, after pulling out "attachment meditation", there will be no attachment anymore. Not having any attachment is great liberation. This is also Zen Buddhism.

The bottom of the barrel falls off", which means that the bottom of the two barrels of water has fallen off, and there is no more, and you can't load anything if you want to, and you can't hold anything, so it's called really comfortable, if there is something to be loaded and can be loaded, then it is not thorough, and there will be persistence, in other words, "persistence" is also persistence.

Cultivating to this level is the second stage, which is the bodhisattva fruition, but this fruition is not the Buddha's fruition, so you have to continue to cultivate, because there are still sentient beings to be saved.

3. After the bodhisattva position, there is a third stage, that is, if you think that the bottom of the bucket falls off means that you don't have anything in your heart, then you are still wrong, because if there is nothing in the bucket, why does the bottom of the bucket fall off? Have you seen two empty barrels, will the bottom of the barrel fall off on its own?

Therefore, the greatest goal of cultivation is to break all attachments, and only by breaking all attachments can we reach the state of great liberation.

And there are two biggest obstacles to our practice, one is self-attachment and the other is dharma-attachment, attachment to the Dharma. Thinking that there is a truth or truth there, eternal and unchanging, unbreakable, thinking that there is a me, how can there be no me? Actually, what you think I am is not really me, if you really get rid of the self, the two attachments of the self and the Dharma, the Dharma has no self, no one has self, and to be able to do this, you have to be able to fall off the bottom of the bucket, not only to fall off the bottom of the bucket, but also to not even have the bucket, that is the real liberation, the highest Buddhahood, and this is the third stage of true cultivation.

The goal of Zen is to give people complete peace of mind, and the starting point is also peace of mind.

There are two kinds of peace of mind, one is that the direction of life and the meaning of life are no longer hesitant and confused, which is a kind of peace of mind; The other is that his state of mind is in a calm and stable state, no matter what the environment or circumstances, his state of mind is always unshaken, which is another kind of peace of mind.

Methods and Processes of Meditation:

1. When entering Zen: choose a quiet place first and sit steadily.

2. Positive feet: Half-kneeling with the left and right up, bringing the body close, so that the left toes are in line with the right hip, and the right toes are in line with the left hip. Place your right foot on top of your left foot.

3. Whole clothes: untie the wide clothes belt and do not let it fall off when sitting.

Fourth, the hands: the opposite of the feet up and down the hands folded.

5. Straight body: Move the body and limbs. Do seven or eight reverses, such as massage.

Don't make sibling differences. Keep your spine bent and not skewed. From left to right, turn three times from large to small, and then turn three times from right to left, from large to small.

The center of gravity of the middle is not shaken.

6. Positive head and neck: the nose is opposite to the navel, not biased, not oblique, not low or high, and the plane is right.

7. Close your mouth: open your mouth to deflate, exhale turbid air in your mouth, and avoid being rough and urgent. If you want to let go of the breath in the middle of the body, you can breathe out with the air, and then close your mouth and nose to clear the air. Repeat three times to adjust your body. Bi, close the mouth, and the tongue is on the top of the jaw.

8. Close your eyes: only to cut off the external light, not completely.

Preparation before meditation:

1. Choose a time that is free of interference, fixation, and fixation. Practice every day.

2. Don't meditate in a state of overhunger or oversatiety.

3. Close the doors and windows to prevent the wind from passing through the hall. Wrap the leg cloth around the joints.

4. It is necessary to have some foundation in teachings, and it is best to have the guidance of a teacher. In order to avoid problems arising from situations that arise when you are meditating and do not know how to deal with them.

If you can't settle down in the middle of your meditation practice, you can breathe in a little and then hold your breath and wait quietly for your abdomen to rise and fall due to the excitement of the qi and the sea of vitality.

The infirm breath holding time is shorter, the healthy person can hold his breath for a little longer, often in the case of feeling "about to suffocate", the vitality out of physiological needs, the sudden agitation beats, and the momentum is fierce, at this time you can breathe naturally, the rate of breathing can be according to the strength of the fetal breath, the speed of the breath is natural, this is "with the breath".

Just follow it, look at it, don't care.

You can feel that the inhalation slightly drives the pores, navel and other acupoints, exhales and exhausts the exhaust gas from the acupuncture points, and then inhales without exhaling, leaning on the body to discharge, the longer the better. The one who finally gets the breath of the womb can not suck it through his nose and mouth, as in the case of the twins, then he will be enlightened.

You must know that the cultivation of meditation can only be cultivated by people who have attained the root and wisdom, and this Fa is not cultivated by ordinary ordinary people, so it is normal to not be able to cultivate.

For those of us ordinary people who can cultivate, that is the Pure Land Method, as long as we make a wish to be reborn in the Pure Land of Bliss of Amitabha Buddha, and recite the Buddha by the power of Amitabha's vow, we will be enlightened when we reach the Pure Land of Amitabha. You can't do it in the Pure Land world without enlightenment.

This is a common problem for most people. Either it's because of heavy habits, laziness, etc., or because the way of practicing meditation is wrong, and the Buddhist method can't be talked about indiscriminately, or if you talk about it wrong, you should ask the teacher.

The first thing to cultivate is to repay the food, and to cultivate the blessing and wisdom of the two.

I understand that enlightenment is awakening. Enlightenment and cultivation means that after understanding the truth, you must practice it in your daily life. Cultivation is the cultivation of words and deeds in daily life, deviating from the "Tao" or "Buddha nature".

Enlightenment is the realization of the origin of all things.

Cultivation is the cultivation of the mind.

Zen Buddhism is also known as the Buddha's Heart Sect. Don't pass it on outside the church. Zen Buddhism is not Han Buddhism, and it is not separated from Han Buddhism, but is a native Buddhism with Chinese characteristics - Han Buddhism (i.e., Zen Buddhism).

The Sutra of the Altar of the Six Patriarchs, the Five Lantern Huiyuan, etc., are Buddhist scriptures of Zen Buddhism. "Baizhang Qing Rules" is the law of Zen Buddhism. Zen Master Baizhang believes that although the "Yoga Bodhisattva Precepts" and the "Yingluo Bodhisattva Precepts" belong to Mahayana, they are the precepts formulated by the Buddha according to the situation in India, and it is inconvenient to copy them in a rigid manner.

According to the customs, geography, and customs, he drew up a new management system based on the reasonable parts of the Hinayana precepts that were suitable for China's national conditions, which was the "Baizhang Qing Rules".

The Zen Buddhism inherited by Huineng let the Chinese know that Buddhism does not come from outside, such as the Buddha nature of all beings. Those who have the heart of the Buddha know that the Buddha does not come from outside, and those who believe in Buddhism do not come from outside. It is this heart seal that Bodhama Dharma came to preach.

Huineng pointed out that everyone has Buddha nature, and the study of enlightenment and enlightenment to become a Buddha on the one hand simplifies the cumbersome Buddhism, and on the other hand, it also sinicizes Buddhism imported from India. As a result, he is regarded as the true founder of Zen Buddhism.

Zen cultivation, the external rest of the fate, the heart is like a wall, you can enter the Tao, that is, the Dharma Patriarch to the second ancestor Shenguang said, one of the methods of hard work, let go of everything outside, when you meditate with your legs, it is best to be at any time, at any time, outside the fate, there is no breath in the heart, a realm.

If you don't write it, don't spread it outside the church.

Eating, walking, working, and studying are all a form of spiritual practice. The key is to get rid of the ego, discover the true self, and finally see the nature and become a Buddha.

Life is practice, anytime, anywhere.

The Pali word for meditation means "nurturing of the mind," which is the cultivation of a good state of mind. Its practical method is to focus on the study of the "Noble Eightfold Path" (right view, right thinking, right speech, right karma, right life, right diligence, right thought, and right concentration), supplemented by the four dwellings (compassion, compassion, joy, and renunciation) and the seven jue branches (mindfulness, dharma choice, diligence, joy, lightness, concentration, and reciprocation), so that both those who live a monastic life and those who live a home life can practice the Eightfold Path according to their own lifestyles to improve their own life realm. Gradually reduce the troubles of afflictions and the bondage of greed, hatred, and ignorance, and gradually purify the mind and become free, so that you can move forward in the direction of goodness and enlightenment and liberation. Anyone who dedicates himself to the practice will gradually experience the most meaningful and valuable enlightenment truth from these ordinary practices.

It is recommended to go to Honghua Society** to ask for a copy of "Practicing Zhiguan Zazen Meditation to Explain", and you can also buy a copy of Master Zhengguo's "Zen General Idea" on Dangdang Online. Before meditating, it is recommended that you ask for a copy of the Sutra of Karma for Good and Evil, practice according to the scriptures, and ask the Jizo Bodhisattva for instructions on whether you have reached the stage where you are suitable for meditating and wisdom.

Meditation, which means "nurturing of the mind" in Hindi, is the cultivation of a good state in the mind. Its practical method is to focus on the study of the "Noble Eightfold Path", supplemented by the compassion and joy of the four Brahmanas; The thoughts, the choice of the law, the diligent progress, the concentration, and so on.

The Theravada Buddhist path enables both those who live a monastic life and those who live a home life to practice the Noble Eightfold Path according to their own lifestyles to improve their life and gradually reduce the troubles of afflictions and the shackles of greed, anger and foolishness. Gradually, let the mind be purified and liberated, so that you can move forward in the direction of goodness and enlightenment.

Anyone who dedicates himself to the practice will gradually experience the most meaningful and valuable enlightenment truth from these ordinary practices.

If you want to learn all kinds of Zen forms, there are many, many of them.

If you want to learn the original nothing of the six ancestors Huineng, then learn to learn the "Altar Sutra": the outside is separated from the phase and said Zen, and the inside is not chaotic.

Looking, good, Zen, all of them have nothing to do with Zen.

Attaching to something, cultivating merit, cultivating good karma are all ignorance and have nothing to do with the Buddha.

There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. The heart is pure and the spirit is clear, what is cultivated? Putting it down is just that.
