How can you break your intention when meditating, and how should you visualize it when you meditate?

If you are too pretentious, you are too unrelaxed.

Intention in meditation is to deliberately focus our mind's attention on a certain point in order to prevent our mind from being distracted. For example, contemplating the breath, visualizing the Buddha statue, contemplating the dantian, and so on, are all intentions.

When the breath begins to become lighter and slower to the point where it is almost imperceptible, the intention of "counting the breath" should be let go and enter the "breath", just following the breath that is not there, as long as the mind is clear enough to know the warmth and severity of the breath, and then gradually enter into concentration.

The mission of meditation is to concentrate the mind on one point, and if the goal is achieved, when the mind can be firmly concentrated on one point, then it is necessary to "let go" of the intention. Of course, letting go is not giving up, we have to always observe the mind, and if the mind is moving or drowsy, we must immediately raise the intention again, and take back the mind at a certain point.

For informational purposes only. To study systematically, please study the "Six Wonderful Gates" of the Tiantai sect, which has a specific description of the method of meditation.

In fact, Haiyin is already very good, but I want to give you another angle of view, and then you need to see for yourself which angle can make you more "through" a little bit.

I won't repeat the explanation, but you do have some ideas that are influencing you. The first is that you think that the quality of your meditation is better when you are not in the state of observing the breath, and then you are "at a loss". If, once you understand that doing and not doing things are the same, then you can just keep the view and not have any definition of what you are looking at, "what you come to see what you are" until you see the nature of your silence.

So in fact, everything in the world can be broken, but it cannot be broken.

When your meditation state becomes more and more still, you can feel that the meditation experience is different at different times (or even every time), and it can be said that it is rich. When you first started, you did a good job of minding the breath, so your power has already risen, and now when you meditate, you feel numb, which is a sign that your spiritual power is improving. Why not try "pure view"?

Look at how it is numb, to what extent it can be numb, what will be after the numbness, etc., since it is a little different now, and I am already in elementary school, why do I still use preschool to look at myself?

Hello, this is not a matter of intention, it is a natural change in the natural adjustment of the body, meditate and don't cling to the previous state, you just use the method of observing the breath, and you can pass through the other illusions if you ignore them. Meditation is originally about practicing concentration, and if you follow other senses, you change junior high school.

The five most taboo things to do in meditation are: eating too much or too little before meditating, exerting too much force during meditation, not paying attention to your breathing during meditation, distracting yourself during meditation, and pursuing too much effect during meditation.

1. Eat too much or too little before meditating.

Eating too much or too little before meditation can affect how well we meditate. If we eat too much, our body will feel heavy and we will easily feel sleepy, affecting our concentration and consciousness level. If we eat too little, our body will feel weak, and it will be easy to distract our attention and affect the effectiveness of our meditation.

2. Excessive exertion when meditating.

When meditating, we should keep our body relaxed and not overexert ourselves. If we exert too much force with hail fruit, it will lead to physical tension, mental fatigue, and even physical discomfort and pain. Therefore, we should relax our body and let it breathe naturally and maintain a calm mind.

3. Don't pay attention to your breathing when sitting upright.

Breathing is one of the most important aspects of meditation, and if we don't pay attention to our breathing, it will affect the effectiveness of our meditation. When meditating, we should breathe deeply to allow oxygen to fully enter the body and help us relax physically and mentally. At the same time, we should also pay attention to exhalation, let the body expel exhaust gases, and keep the body fresh and comfortable.

4. Distraction during meditation.

Meditation requires concentration, and if we are distracted, it will affect the effectiveness of our meditation. While meditating, we should try to minimize distractions as much as possible, stay focused, and immerse ourselves in the state of meditation. If we are distracted, we can help ourselves regain focus by adjusting our breathing, closing our eyes, etc.

5. Pursuing results too much when meditating.

Meditation is a form of practice that requires perseverance, constant effort, and perseverance. However, if we focus too much on results, we will lose the essence of meditation and may even have negative effects. Therefore, we should maintain a calm mind, not be too effect-oriented, and allow ourselves to naturally enter into a state of meditation.

Answer: In meditation, we should achieve three combinations: chanting the Buddha, visualizing, and counting the breaths.

You count from one to a hundred, and after your mind calms down, you think about the light and think of the Buddha. The light shines on oneself, on one's six relatives and dependents, on all beings on the earth, and even on the three paths: hell, hungry ghosts, and livestock.

The light shines all over is the realm of the Buddha Virujana, this realm is very large, that is, the realm of the "Huayan Sutra", in the middle, you don't want to look at the appearance, go with the flow, keep reading, meditate, over time the mind calms down, the mind is calm, there is wisdom, there is wisdom and slowly enlightenment. But don't be in a hurry, like playing the piano, if you play too quickly, it will be easy to break, and if you are slow, you can't hear the tone, but slowly, peacefully. If you work hard like this, it will be very good for your body, and your mind will become quieter and quieter, and your kung fu will gradually deepen, which is a very simple way.

Reciting the Buddha combined with visualization, doing the view of compassion and the view of light, the combination of the two, the power is very strong. Recite the Buddha in your heart, visualize the Buddha statue, and don't be selfish, don't just ask me to be born in the West, then I can't do it, but think of your six relatives, think of your friends and teachers, think of all sentient beings, and even think of sentient beings of the Three Evil Realms, and have a big mind, this is bodhichitta or broad mind, and with this broad mind, this merit is very great. The Diamond Sutra says:

If you don't give alms, your blessings are inconceivable. If you cultivate a broad mind without attachment, this merit is inconceivable.

If your mind is scattered or tired during the visualization, you can sit down and rest or pray. The combination of movement and stillness, over time, there is stillness in the movement, even if you are in the crowd and in the city, you can remain static. There is stillness in movement, this is meditation kung fu, and there is no movement in any external environment, so there is concentration.

It is said that meditation and meditation should be contemplative. What exactly is contemplation? What kind of mind are you looking at? Can the mind see it?

When you meditate, you will have dirty thoughts, what should I do?

Hello, dear. Actually, in the process of meditation, the most effective way to get rid of distracting thoughts is to become aware of the generation of thoughts. The thought comes and goes, you don't have to suppress it, you don't have to follow it, it's the best way.

There is no way to concentrate when you sit still. Because when we really learn to practice, we are looking inward, not going around and connecting with other people. In addition, if we eat irregularly and do not control it, our body and mind will become heavy, which is also a cause of distracting thoughts.

So when we get rid of distracting thoughts, we have to find the source of them. During the meditation process you are aware of your distractions and you are able to let go of everything, and then you can concentrate on meditation. Improve our minds, minds, and lifestyles.
