The process and realization of participating in Vipassana meditation for the first time Part I .

Vipassana is to observe as it is, that is, to observe things as they really are: it is a process of purifying the body and mind by observing oneself. In the beginning, we improve our concentration by observing the natural breath until our awareness becomes sharper, and then we observe the changing nature of the body and mind, and experience the universal reality of impermanence, suffering, and selflessness.

This way of knowing reality through direct experience is the process of purification.

Method steps.

To get started with Vipassana meditation, we first have to learn to cultivate our concentration, which we can usually achieve by observing the breath.

How do you observe your breathing? A person's exhale and inhalation are a breath, we focus our attention on the nose and the middle of the person, the breath is long to know that the breath is long, and the breath is short to know that the breath is short. With this practice, you will gradually become proficient, and your concentration will naturally gradually improve.

Now that we have the concentration, we need to make further efforts to start contemplating. With your legs crossed, your body relaxed and your breathing natural. The mind is relaxed step by step from head to toe, from back to hips, from chest to abdomen.

When the mind feels stiff in a certain part of the body, the mind pays attention to it and relaxes.

When we look at it and feel the lightness and pleasure of our body, it means that we have indeed improved. Many times in the process of contemplation, our mind will run away, which means that we need to notice and collect it in time, and then start from the beginning.

Theravada teachings.

Vipassana meditation refers to the 'wisdom' of the 'precepts, concentration, and wisdom' that the Buddha taught. Vipassana meditation entails cultivating the '16 contemplations' or '7 purities' to lead to liberation.

Vipassanā (Pali: Vipassanā), also known as "Vipassana", "Vipassana", "Vipassana", "Vipassana", is a practice method for observing the impermanence, suffering, and selflessness of all fames, cultivating wisdom, and leading to liberation, and is the fundamental practice method of Theravada Buddhism.

Contemplation, i.e., the continuous observation of the phenomena of impermanence, suffering, and selflessness in the five aggregates, the six places, the six worlds, etc., or the contemplation of the collection and extinction of the Dharma, will gradually lead to a gradual shift from coarse to delicate observation.

The so-called "delicacy" is the observation and discernment of the "self-aspects" (sabhāva-lakkha a self-nature phase) and the "common phase" (i.e., the three phases of impermanence, suffering, and selflessness) of the "ultimate color dharma" (the four worlds of earth, water, fire, wind, etc.), the "ultimate name dharma" (the dharma of the mind, the dharma of the mind), and the "common phase" (i.e., the three phases of impermanence, suffering, and selflessness), as well as the circulation and extinction of the causes and conditions of the twelve dependent originations.

Through the practice of contemplative meditation without being led by love and evil views, we finally realized that the Dharma of Colors and Names were completely extinguished and entered "Nirvana". [1]

The commentary on the scriptures says:

aniccādivasena vividhehi ākārehi dhamme passatī’ti vipassanā.Contemplating the Dharma with different aspects such as impermanence. （

In the Treatise on the Pure Path and the Outline of the Abhidharma, the methods and stages of the meditation taught by the Buddha are summarized as follows:

Seven purity: 1. Purity; 2. Pure heart; 3. Seeing purity; Fourth, the degree of doubt is pure; Fifth, the Tao is not the Tao, the wisdom is pure; Sixth, the wisdom of the way is pure; 7. Wisdom and purity. [14]

Sixteen Views of Wisdom: 1, Wisdom of Name and Color Recognition 2, Wisdom of Dependent Perception 3, Wisdom of Thinking 4, Wisdom of Birth and Death 5, Wisdom of Destruction and Destruction 6, Wisdom of Fear Arises 7, Wisdom of Passing Troubles 8, Wisdom of Detachment 9, Wisdom of Desire for Liberation 10, Wisdom of Examination and Observation 11, Wisdom of Doing Giving 12, Wisdom of Shun 13, Wisdom of Caste 14, Wisdom of the Four Births of the Path 15, Four Wisdom of Birth of the Fruit of the World 16, Wisdom of Examination.

The four thoughts are: the body dwells, the mind dwells, the heart dwells, and the Dharma dwells

Bhikkus! There is only one path that can purify sentient beings, overcome sorrows, eliminate suffering, practice the truth, and attain nirvana, and that path is the four mindful dwellings. Which four are the dwellings?

Bhikkus! Bhikku constantly observes the body from point to place, diligently, awarely, and always aware of impermanence, removing greed and hatred for the physical and mental worlds. Continuously feel, observe, and feel, be diligent, aware, and always aware of impermanence, and get rid of greed and hatred for the physical and mental world; Continuously observe the mind, be diligent, aware, and always aware of impermanence, and get rid of greed and hatred for the physical and mental world; Continuously observe the Dharma in relation to the Dharma, be diligent, aware, and always aware of impermanence, and get rid of greed and hatred for the physical and mental worlds. ”

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 enlightened truth from these ordinary practices.
