A few questions about studying Buddhism

Meditation is mainly about the repetitive regulation of the breath. At first our body felt pain, but then it didn't. While breathing, the brain is also thinking and meditating.

There are three types of cross-legged legs: single, loose and double. Handle the learner, the last single, or scattered.

When meditating, first wrap your legs in a blanket and stand upright. Do not rely on the support of objects. Breathe steadily. The tongue rests on the upper chamber. Breathe.

When I meditated, I started to think that I was sleepy because of my karma. As for the pain when meditating, it will be fine for a long time.

Amitabha, good, good!

Senior brother, don't be so nervous, and don't think so much about what you have and what you don't have.

Why do you have such a question? There are several reasons for this.

The first is that you're too nervous. Then there's the fact that you have too many distractions. When you are nervous, it will not be easy for your heart to settle down, and if you can't settle down, you will naturally have a lot of distractions.

As soon as there were many distracting thoughts, some of the thoughts in Alayah (for beginners, it can be simply understood as the subconscious) came out. So, it feels like this, why do you have these thoughts? It's something you've been exposed to these kinds of bad thoughts, and when the time comes, those thoughts come up again.

What situation are you facing now? That is, some of the gross troubles gradually subsided, so, slowly, these subconscious troubles came out. So, don't worry, it's normal.

It is a common problem that ordinary people may encounter in their intensive practice.

How to solve it? It is to continue to persevere and repent of karma at the same time. When the karmic repentance is purified, there will naturally be no such bad thoughts.

When you persevere, Buddha power will bless you and help you reduce your karma.

At the same time, you have to be sincere, and the more sincere you are, the faster your karma will diminishe, what is sincerity? It is sincerity that is not born in a thought. Don't think about what you have or don't have, just concentrate on chanting the Buddha, holding mantras, and slowly your karma will disappear and you will be purified, and then you will be fine.

So, you have to be sincere. As long as you can be sincere, the ghosts and gods will naturally see it, and they won't blame you. But you know whether your heart is sincere or not, and the demons and gods know it.

Amitabha. Continue to persevere, be dedicated and diligent, and it will be good after this stage.

It is Buddhism to practice all good, not to do evil, and to purify one's mind.

Developing bodhicitta and being disgusted with samva, reciting the Buddha honestly, should come and go.

Don't deliberately think about these questions, Buddha is a Buddha, ghosts and gods are ghosts and gods, it's not the same thing, don't make studying Buddhism the same as superstition. Learning Buddhism is not as simple as chanting the sutra and reciting the Buddha's name, no matter what you do, you must do it from the perspective of conscience, and it is right to do it with a good heart, but it is not what I want to return after I have done many good deeds. If you have this kind of mentality, you are not studying Buddhism, but you are making a high investment in business.

On the contrary, don't take it to heart if you accidentally do something wrong, just pay attention not to make the same mistake next time, who can be blameless if you are not a sage? And if you do it, you can change it. Amitabha.

There are many people like you who have delusions, curse Buddha, and curse God. Delusions are the most difficult to control and are the problems that most Buddhists encounter.

The Buddha taught us to stop contemplating the Dharma and to deal with it.

Cessation means stopping as soon as delusional thoughts arise.

Contemplation is the substitution of pure thoughts for delusions. When delusions arise, immediately think about the 32 aspects of the Buddha, think about the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures, think about the Buddha and bless you, or think about the Buddha's secret mantra seed words, and so on.

There is another method, called the method of indulgence, when an improper thought arises, you ignore it and let it go away on its own, this method is like a person sitting on the bank of a river, watching the flowing water pass away, and the mind has no place to live.

There is another method, we forget its name for a while, so for the time being, it is called the remembrance method, when the thought rises, you don't let it go, observe the source of the thought rising from the **, the tail chases it, and the observation of the thought disappears in the **.

Good luck and may you overcome your delusions.

Can I first ask you why you study Buddhism, so that those ghosts and gods will no longer haunt you? You must know that Buddhism is a kind of belief of human beings, and everyone wants to become a Buddha. But who would know, in fact, Buddha is the general term for those who can benefit sentient beings.

The meaning of truly learning Buddhism is not only to learn Buddhism, but to be able to help more people get rid of suffering. Let people feel that because you are alive, there will be more people who live better, not seeking fame and fortune, but asking for no regrets.

It's completely your psychological effect, since you eat fasting and chant Buddha, don't think so much, there is nothing, there is no reason, you should understand it!

It's okay to relax, don't think about it deliberately, the more you think about it, the more you feel that you haven't done a good job, so let it be.

Whether you believe in ghosts or gods or not, it's just a position you have in your own heart.
