The meditator enters into the miraculous effects of meditation

Let's teach you how to get started!

Beginner meditation is very simple, rote memorization of three words and six words: body, pranayama, and mind.

1. There are four key points in adjusting your identity: sitting cross-legged (double discs are the best, and other postures are also acceptable). Pay attention to the upright upper body (you can put a bowl of water on the head without spilling it as a feeling); The palate on the top of the tongue (forming an internal circulation in the body, and saliva seeps out under the base of the tongue in 5-10 minutes, which can be swallowed gently); A smile at the corner of the mouth (like the "baby smile" of the temple Buddha); Slightly closed eyes (leave a glimmer of light to avoid drowsiness, i.e., "eyes look at the nose, nose looks at the heart");

2. Pranayama: Concentrate all your energy on your own breathing, exhale and inhale as 1, count in your heart, count from 1 to 9, count from 9 to 1, and so on;

3. Adjusting the mind: The trick of meditation is to "use one thought to ten thousand thoughts", so the first stage of meditation is to "count the breaths", once there is a wrong count, the number is forgotten, and the count is over, start from the beginning, and firmly tie your mind to the idea of "counting the breaths".

Look, the introduction to meditation is so easy, let's give it a try! When you sit for 1 hour and count all the breaths accurately, then you have graduated from the small class of the Meditation Monastery Kindergarten!

According to Theravada Buddhism, the Buddha taught a total of 40 meditation methods.

If you think you are smarter than the Buddha, then you can choose the posture you like.

- If you think you still need to learn from the Buddha, meditate according to the Buddha's precepts and wisdom.

The practice of Theravada Buddhism is to practice the precepts of wisdom, to practice on the basis of the precepts, and to cultivate wisdom on the basis of concentration, so as to achieve liberation.

According to Theravada Buddhism.

1. Precepts--- The five precepts, the eight precepts, and the ten precepts at home, the ten precepts of the novices, and the 227 precepts of the bhikku.

2. There are 40 meditation methods --- --- see the Theory of Pure Path; The 40 types of karmic aspiration are: 10 times, 10 impurities, 10 thoughts, 4 dwellings, 4 colorlessness, one thought, and one difference.

The earth, the water, the fire, the wind, the green, the yellow, the red, the white, the light, and the void are defined as ten.

The swelling phase, the bruising phase, the pus phase, the broken phase, the food residue phase, the scattered phase, the chopping discrete phase, the blood smear phase, the insect gathering phase, and the bone phase are ten impurities.

The Buddha reads, the Dharma reads, the monks read, the precepts read, the sacrifice reads, the heavens read, the death reads, the body reads, the entry and exit breath reads, and the silence reads as the ten thoughts.

Compassion, compassion, joy, and sacrifice are the four dwellings.

Emptiness is boundless, knowledge is boundless, possession is nothing, and non-thinking and non-thinking are the four colorless.

Eating tired think about it.

The difference between the four realms is one difference.

3. Wisdom --- sixteen contemplative wisdom, namely: the wisdom of name and color recognition, the wisdom of dependent receiving, the wisdom of thinking, the wisdom of birth and death, the wisdom of destruction and destruction, the wisdom of fear and appearance, the wisdom of disobedience, the wisdom of disablorism, the wisdom of wanting to be liberated, the wisdom of examination, the wisdom of doing abandonment, the wisdom of obedience, the wisdom of caste, the wisdom of the way, the wisdom of fruition, and the wisdom of self-examination.

Among them, the one who can cut off the troubles is the Tao Wisdom. When the Wisdom of the Tao arises, the corresponding holy fruit is realized. Dao wisdom and fruit wisdom belong to the wisdom of the world.

When one realizes the wisdom of the four Goahan paths, one is liberated from all afflictions and completely freed from samsara.

When meditating, the posture of sitting should be upright and natural. The lower forehead is introverted, the chest is tucked in the abdomen, and the shoulders and hips are vertically up and down. It is best to sit on your legs, if you can't cross the legs, let alone avoid strength, to avoid leg pain is not conducive to sitting for a long time.

However, it is easy to make the body lean back and lose the center of gravity, so it is necessary to use a thinner pillow under the buttocks when the disc is scattered, which is conducive to the balance of the body.

Especially in winter, when meditating, be sure to wrap your knee joints in a blanket or the like, because when your knees are bent inward, the acupuncture points outside the kneecaps and under the kneecaps (touching the depression with your hands) are open, and it is easy to get into the cool air and cause rheumatism.

In addition, it is especially important to remind that if you meditate with a double plate, you should stretch your legs forward and massage the soles of your feet with both hands after sitting meditation to promote the blood circulation on the soles of your feet. After standing up, the legs alternate between the side servants, pressing the legs, or lowering the lower back. Because the double disc can easily cause the leg muscles to atrophy, the leg bones to form O-shaped legs, and the weakness of walking and floating, if you insist on sitting and meditating for a long time, massage and side pressure on the legs are very necessary.

Meditation, also known as enlightenment, is the method of attaining the truth of the world by liberating the bondage of the "self".

Meditation is not unique to Zen Buddhism, it is to focus on a specific object and achieve a state of non-distraction. Meditation is to let go and see through, and meditation is a kind of practice, and it is also the inevitable practice of "enlightenment", but meditation may not necessarily reach the state of enlightenment and liberation. Meditation is not confined to a certain form, whether it is walking, sitting or lying down, or silent, you can meditate for it, as long as you enter the realm of meditation.

In other words, meditation has no fixed form, no fixed action, only the ultimate goal – enlightenment and liberation, but not everyone can achieve enlightenment and liberation.

Zhou Tian is a Taoist way of saying that exercises. Generally, Zhou Tian is divided into sizes, and Xiao Zhou Tian often refers to the cycle of Ren and Du two pulses; The Great Zhou Tian is the internal and external circulation, and the Tian Da Zhou Tian refers to the large circulation between the meridians of the whole body; The extracorporeal Great Zhou Tian refers to the exchange of "qi" between the human body and nature, which is the so-called "unity of heaven and man". However, Zhou Tianzhi said that he does not necessarily need to practice, he is also "innate", and there is no need to divide the specific form, as long as the "cycle" is reached.

In terms of form, there is not much difference between meditation and Zhoutian, and they can both do without fixed movements, but in terms of goals, the difference between the two is relatively large. The essential purpose of meditation is to make people's spirits highly single-minded, to break through the barriers of physiological, psychological, and subconscious, and to achieve a supreme wisdom. And the essential purpose of Zhou Tian is a kind of accumulation. In other words, meditation can be attained without any "cultivation", as long as there is "wisdom root"; On the other hand, Zhou Tian has to accumulate over many years, and in terms of "time", meditation is more uncertain, which is the biggest difference between the two.

In fact, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, they are divided into various schools, and the various schools are not much different from the layman, at least there is not much difference in Buddhist clothing and basic behavioral characteristics, but the ultimate goal between different schools is actually very different, and the means of "cultivation" chosen are not the same in order to achieve the ultimate goal, so even within Buddhism and Taoism, the concept of the two is not unified!

Meditation, we all meditate in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and we also meditate as martial arts practitioners. However, in Zen meditation, the focus is on "Zen", followed by "sitting". Zen is the wisdom of the Buddha, and studying Buddhist scriptures can be beneficial to the comprehension of Zen.

If you want to say that Zen Buddhism has a special meditation cultivation method, it is this "Zen".

Zen", it is indeed difficult for beginners to start learning, you can study Zen classics, learn the enlightenment of the ancestors of the past generations to get started. 、
