Zen What does Zen mean? What does meditation mean?

Zen Buddhism is a sect of Buddhism, such as Laoshan Zen, which is a kind of thought that helps people gain wisdom.

Learning Lao Shan Zen is a process of understanding, and it is not a religion, which may help you in your life.

The two are mainly different in terms of appearance and hidden meaning.

Luohan Cup: The shape resembles the rice bowl of the monk's fasting, the mouth is introverted, and the fragrance of tea is difficult to disperse. Meditation Cup:

The shape is special. The mouth of the cup is adducted, the abdomen is swollen like the belly of Maitreya Buddha, and when it is held up, it is not like an ordinary cup that can be pinched on the mouth of the extravagant cup, but can only be held in the abdomen that the drum is dismantled. Meditation must first start with "entering stillness" and then "starving to stillness" in order to achieve "silence", at which point it is already a state of self-forgetfulness, from "body emptiness" and "mind emptiness" to the void Dharma realm.

However, in order to enter the realm of meditation, zazen must also have a "transcendent spirit" in order to break through all physical, psychological, and subconscious obstacles. The meaning of Zen is to produce supreme wisdom in concentration, to prove with supreme wisdom, and to prove the wisdom of all things as they are, which is called Zen.

Generally speaking, meditation does not necessarily lead to enlightenment and liberation, but it is inseparable from meditation to achieve liberation. In the three stages of "precepts, concentration, and wisdom", "determination" is the bridge from "precepts" to "wisdom".

1. Zen is a special translation in Buddhist translation, "Zen", which is the abbreviation of Indian Sanskrit Zena, its meaning is "concentration", "thinking practice", "merit jungle", etc., so "meditation" is both Chinese and Sanskrit, which is explained from its name.

2. In this sense, if a practitioner is able to absorb the scattered mind and concentrate on one state, it is the so-called "concentration"; Reciting a method with the mind can give birth to all kinds of samadhi, that is, "thinking and cultivating"; Depending on meditation, all kinds of merits can be born, which is called the "forest of merits." To sum up, meditation is a method of mind-tuning for those who practice the bodhisattva path, and its purpose is to purify the mind and exercise wisdom in order to enter the realm of truth about the Dharma. From this point of view, meditation is the means of the process that must be followed in the practice of bodhisattvas; The taste of Zen is incomprehensible, and the stagnant water does not hide the dragon, which is to correct the mistake of recognizing the means as the goal.

3. Because meditation is not necessarily Zen Buddhism, all religions in the world that have mystical effects are nothing more than the work of meditation, whether they use mantras, prayers, prayers, or chanting, and the results obtained are mostly the effects of meditation.
