Four Foundations of Mindfulness

---

T rong thirty-seven the assistant. Satipatthana is ranked at the top of the table. In the teachings of this meditation, the Eight Noble was first introduced. This arrangement is based on the fundamental meaning of the Path of the Eight Noble Noble Truths, as the Exalted says:

"... Ingenious Noble Bat practice, as the Noble Eight-prolific, the Quartet is to practice mindfulness go to perfection, such as the residence ... Four, five factors ..., Five forces ..., Interior enlightenment ..., are going to practice to perfection '.(Samyutta V, Ibid. P. 49-50)

The writer would like to present the latter's Satipatthana Meditation teachings portion to have a clear overview of the practice, the practice is often prone to misperception, as researchers have said Buddhism that the Buddhist teachings of the most misunderstood is the Meditation (Walpola Rahula, in "What the Buddha Taught", Chapter VII).

Through the teachings have presented, we can say the Noble Truth is the path of meditation leading to supreme enlightenment. So, see meditation as a Buddhist sect is an unfortunate misunderstanding. Further, see Meditation as a method suitable only meet with some inborn called benefit grounds is a regrettable misunderstanding others.

The Teachings Of Exalted Typical On Satipatthana

When Bhagavan recently ultimate wisdom, thoughts arise where Bhagavan:

Tu Episode Four Foundations of Mindfulness

Speaking about the content of Satipatthana already contains the basic instructions for meditation practitioner. This section goes into implementation, should be presented in more detail about the practice walking meditation that practitioners need to know and act.

The first section is simply sitting-old fetters and the regulating body . Fetters-old is sitting cross-legged sitting under the lotus position (can put the right foot on the left foot first, or vice versa). Empirical lineage of Zen practice, so it's best to hand placed his right hand on his left hand, both hands placed on the soles of the feet (say would, but if you put your left hand on your right hand also, the case with amputated hands, no one hands still meditation is and still results normally). Keeping your back straight, this is what should be done. Mouth closed, eyes closed, the light (can open her eyes, but in this case it is easy to fall into the stampede). I sit like this and monitor breathing in and out until we were about 60 minutes to sit for 90 minutes to hear Air temperature, relative no pain, no fatigue, the time can call the convent steps body conditioning okay episode (remember that when sitting, knees have to sit close to the background, you can use pillows lining derriere).

Quite simply conditioned second breath . I breathed in, breath out just monitoring it. How to set breathing in and out very light, does not work out loud and not asphyxia (breathing through the nose, but not in the abdomen, and chest or inhaled deeper until a few). When breathing in and out as gently as during periods not sit mentioned above (approximately sixty minutes to ninety minutes), then that time is breath-called conditioning - when practitioners enter charity is truly breath conditioning (breathing stops).

The simplest thing is to recite Tuesday before . In order not to recite in front of the heart, according to his own stampeding objects (both inside and outside the center) aimlessly, meant only to stop at a regional center in front of him. Region to mind was breathing in and out, or is pressed sugar (in between the eyebrows), or philtrum (bottom tip of the nose), or at the tip of the nose, or fill in the application, or in the palms the practitioner, or a small area in front of the vision of the eye in the first through the nose.

Making the simple proficient on three things that we are only eligible accomplish that Bhagavan taught in the Scripture is: "The monks went to the forest, go to the tree, or go home drums, and sitting cross-legged, back straight and mindfulness in front ".

(In the old days, you monks practice their faith in small forests of India should go to the new tree, forest, empty house. Today, we can go into the meditation hall, or in private meditation rooms Furniture, or even in the rooms. We do not need to bother to sit Zen moment is Rat, Horse, Tips, Rooster ... or face towards the North, East, West, etc ..).

Next, a new step this practice is key: it is the mind conditioning step. From here, he should certainly go to practice Satipatthana.

* About Body Mindfulness:

Subscribe breathing in and out as collective forces and collective force concept centered on an object, the track is relatively quite simple. Personally heard (the breath and the body), the track requires more attentive, a stronger heart stopped. This work needs to practice more sophisticated tracking the breath a little ... But collective photographic personally mind and body to calm, to all elements of the body (breath work, body heat ... ) is pure photography would require more effort.If the body and the breath has conditioned the corms certainly enjoy peace. Said that all mental peace, but when the mind needs to be collective photographic collection, the relative calm novelty, if interested agitation, oscillation, will breath away, the body heats up and so easy to personally difficult peace . Therefore, in the sense of operating section and tranquility have personally put three words, "he set".

Importantly, when the practice was personally practitioner concept should apply the practice center for the results of this three critical points:  "Crystal need, mindfulness and awareness, and overcome covetousness in life."

Ardent will dispel from the minds of the psychological fatigue, passive, partly dispelled dullness.Mindfulness is holding the psychological awareness not fall into greed, does not fall into the field, nor fall into neutral, reside in mind that the legal awakening is Anatta, impermanence and suffering. Through provincial sense that mental SELFLESSNESS stop the covetousness author was born, causing them to stop start, stop taking advantage of the unborn will not be born.Through provincial feeling is compounded Impermanence and suffering that boring your mind, dispassion, whereby the participating interest and cares disappear. This is the psychological hindrances exclude Year to go into meditation, and go into meditation. The so-called Meditation (or set) is mindful that awareness, which is not the elaborate sit or breathe. The main difference from the shallow depth of feeling provincial level, dispassion that determine the position of the ordinary practitioner, learned or illiterate property.

Due to the critical point of meditation is that zealous, ardent, mindful awareness, and life photography for covetousness, which is not caused by sitting or breathing, so the practitioner can practice meditation while walking , standing, lying, sitting, eating, working, etc .. exemption that mindfulness meditators keep alert.

There are times when the mind sink, difficulty arises diligent, one needs to look deeply into impermanence of the body, the mind and the life, just remember to live life through the breath, fragile as breathing, instantly diligent practice of mind arises.

There are times ranged psychology, taking the mind arises, raises many dreams for ourselves, the practitioner should then shop the impurity of self, of others and of life participated romantic heart will sink, glass manic fitness center launch.

There are times when the mind heavy, concerns about becoming self-oscillate, insecurity, time meditator thirty-two minutes of body (from the feet up to the hair), shop carefully, looking several times such a while until suddenly realized yogi meaning funny of so-called "self". One will brighten always about the meaninglessness of our concerns with the dream of building for self or built around the self. Here, one will feeling something joyful, gentle, serene of psychology has taken out a number of problems.

Normally, one can also shop impurities thirty-two of his relatives, or the customary five aggregates, or Four college (or graduate), author of the factors of so-called self. Thinking practitioners on the basis of conditions to twelve so-called clear your mind and body just assume minister, they really are not his, not his and not his ego. Because such see that leaving the attachment to things, dispassion, field glasses; which freed due to dispassion. In the ordinary position the cup thanks to primary education which Meditation; Meditation in four Lust, thanks dispassion, glass capital of which attained Sainthood. At school property position through dispassion, glass craft that departed ignorance, take unless the defilements. He should be heavily weighted Human customary conditions, No-self, impermanence great bodily Four, Five Aggregates, Twelve land which should not go into bars impure, because the mentality of the customary impurity, because no charity shop cunning, may fall into depression, fatigue which caused danger.

A practitioner should be aware that very clear before going into meditation, or going into practice mindfulness body, the teachings of Bhagavan never empty, always including transport reality. Do not think that the form has since presented the headings of simple Satipatthana doubts the effectiveness of this method of practice. Please practice true yogi teaches words, practice several times to smoothly to experience the realm of meditation and liberation under his elaborately practice.

The practitioner should never wait for that imaginary product of thinking, delusions of practice, except for psychological detachment, cups and glasses si pitch. Practitioners do not expect too much from a monk guided methods for treatment of delusions, hallucinations, because of the practice itself was Satipatthana measures for heart disease treatment and everything. Meditators practice just kept strictly determination Satipatthana, or mindfulness of breathing in and breathing out, sooner or later meditation and liberating decision will come to the practitioner.

The practice seriously only when practitioners have stable vision and life itself. That is the right view that libido color, sound, smell, taste, touch, desire is the existence or non existence afflictions fire burned his happiness. Such apparent new practitioners and new renounce desire to dwell in mindfulness-awareness. As long as practitioners still love her desires, and preferred it, as long as there was contraband or flowing in the stream of consciousness of the practitioner and prevented all achievements of meditation practitioner. Only a desire that practitioners can hold, it's burning desire above all desires.

Most of Meditation disorders such as agitation, drowsiness, fear makes the psychological oscillations originate from the ceiling desires and sensations. Until he sees the desire of hearing (and feeling) like a curtain falls flowed until the yogi hopeful wait the Zen Center. But until that desire is fed, then until yogi how despite efforts just waiting in vain to Meditation.

* About Life Mindfulness:

Similarly Body elaborately practice of mindfulness, one monitor touch sensations, pain, suffering non-touch non arise in itself, it arises how it was recorded like that and do not let the psychological knife action for participating departure, departure airport or departure si. Know and analyze the sensations according conditioned to look away from the provincial sense of craving and clinging.

Feeling arises is predestined by birth (by contact that life), and also destroy destroy conditioned.It is not true. It was born out of control killing of practitioners should not be able to see it is the practitioner, as the practitioner or the practitioner's ego. Provinces such sense, the craving and clinging to subside gradually ceased.

* About Mind Mindfulness:

The level of interest about practitioner track is deeper mental level is about heart monitor personally. The degree of sedimentation pleased to track mind with greed, anger, ignorance or no greed, hatred and delusion the more subtle and quieter. Here, wisdom (right understanding and right thought) to work more and thus grow stronger.

Previous provincial sense of psychological action is work inside discharge, eliminating the previous attachment to the things inside as well as outside. The more vigilant and not attached, the deeper into the mind and wisdom. In contrast, the holding, or reaction to the events of birth and death, it's quite psychological make oscillation center, leave the exhaust, single-mindedly.Even when residing in the Zen mentality scene (to), one center only recognized as belonging to, and immediately senses that this province is compounded, conditioned by the student practice, and leave the attachment Zen scene. Consciousness of this province highlight nuances and liberating insight.

* About France Mindfulness:

Practitioners analyze, observe Five hindrances are destroyed in their students: they conditioned and conditioned by death. Predestined by the hindrances that exist, but also because of conditions that the hindrances eradicated. Or contemplating the body aggregates Year: Five Aggregates launch episode, the five aggregates, cessation and the path leading to the cessation of five aggregates. Five aggregates are found false minister, not mine, not me, not my ego to ego clinging and legal depart. This is seen in meditation, track physical and mental process, which is not seen from the analysis of thinking.

Because the five aggregates is Anatta, when pleasures, unpleasant to, endless instant selfhood, conditioned its properties without attachment size, touch, no touch and no priority immersed in suffering.

Similarly, looking deeply touched Six Twelve origin or origin to find that six internal and six external origin origin is not fetters, they do not bind the practitioner, or the pitch that is only taking fetters. Sharp eye and not the fetters, but when exposed to the sharp eyes to the ceiling, then craving arises, craving something new is bound practitioner in mortal suffering. Meditators instant sensation craving provinces go out, or to visualize impure work places and eye color, or to see the author of the excellent minister and provincial sensory eye to arise.

Seven shop through legal or enlightenment, in her mind for the current view is whether or not public enlightenment. What enlightenment has continued to make the fullness, skillfully;Enlightenment does not have the practice, makes arise. Basically mindfulness meditators remain alert. From mindful awareness that there arises enlightenment and enlightenment arises when, mindfulness practitioners remain alert. Consequently, when the Zen Center (joy, equanimity, equanimity, of) wisdom, it appears there as the "soul" of the Zen Center, and as the awareness that mindfulness (main insight the contents of mindfulness and awareness).

Or shop through the Four Noble Truths law, one obvious suffering, evident Suffering, the Cessation of Suffering and the Cessation of Suffering direct and obvious nature of the legal arise and disappear, while such discrepancies, the practitioner mindful awareness .

* * *

At this point, he should have seen clearly, along the route of the Noble Truth or practice is on the path of meditation, mindfulness and awareness are factors most critical consciousness; it is present from the first step to the last step.

Regarding the practice of mindfulness sixteen headings breath on breathing out, there are many levels, from beginning to peak.

Level one:

Whispered the practitioner only sixteen subjects for monitoring and out-breath, how to let the whispering lilt of the ramp was out breath. Of course, one's practice is in accordance with world sat-old fetters. Practitioners can whisper each heading two, three or more than three times, depending on time every time the meditator sits in practice. Home following a period (which may be a week, two weeks, one month or two months) until proficient practitioner practice and feel like enough, does not want any more such episodes, then step through collective practitioner level two.

Level two:

One does not have to whisper anymore sixteen titles, which monitor the body and mind with the contents of her sixteen titles, just follow the breath in and out. During this translational sit, one always trying to keep thoughts in sixteen titles, do not let thoughts wandered off, do not let yourself fall into dullness, torpor or neutral. Doing so, the practitioner just efforts to eliminate dullness, torpor, just remove both prevent agitation and let the concept fitness, golf concept, wandering thoughts arise. Doing so is the practitioner gradually set about heart, mind and master control center. Meditators practice until relatively mature, mature until recently, just do not want to go far more about this feigned again then walked through practice practitioner level three.

Level three:

At this level, one needs to reach the relative breath conditioning was, then go on. Meditator continues monitoring the breath, watching the breath as the main object to force the mind, both personally monitoring, to know which path to breath out and feel of the whole body, just know and keep mindfulness sense. On Wednesday headings (peace corms), practitioners can practice stopped there for a longer period of time the title number one, two and three. Here meditators start ardent mind, an effort to personally photography. From the title of the year (feeling joy life ...) until the twelve titles (with freedom of mind ...) practitioners also practice similar photographic mind how to navigate to the content of this title . With the title of thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, in this third level, one idea only just starting, not starting bar rush. If one felt like photography was more concerned with the breath, the practitioner can only occasionally follow the breath to breath, which regulates only. Rate this important practice is still mindful awareness, enthusiasm and convince ardent covetousness.

All efforts to monitor breathing and heart photography at all three levels (one, two and three) are striving force concept, only meditation.

Level four:

Anniversary episode forced practitioners to cultivate deeper object, sets have a thought (or recuperate) ardent zeal in many ways, such thinking impermanence of the body, the mind and of all phenomena of life to start anniversary ardent, zealous. The religious zeal, strength and ardent, ardent strong force will help the practitioner to treat dullness and agitation (especially of dullness) more effective. Now is when the practitioner is practicing meditation concentration only.

Level five:

Meditator continues to practice at the level of four, in the first period of time sitting meditation (about thirty minutes early or forty minutes early). Next set of higher meditation practitioner to direct antidote Five hindrances (agitation, drowsiness, fitness, golf and Comfort). This piece How to shop for this Year of hindrances will be presented separately in the next section, in this weather.

Level six:

Meditators practice for the start bar smoothly and stay consistent in the sense of impermanence disintegration, decay, and abandon (heading thirteen, fourteen, fifteen and sixteen). This is initially set Meditation. At level six, the collection alternating Zen meditators and meditation only, depending on the psychological adaptation of practitioners each time, only suitable for sitting meditation or contemplation. Every agitation, the Centre gave meditation only, everyone settled into passive meditation practice. Rate mainly here not only shop, which is an effective antidote dullness and agitation, keep in mind balance mindfulness and awareness.

* * *

In June this level, practitioners should recognize clearly the following points:

1. Although the means presented as six degrees above, but in fact can not judge what level is the only practice in Zen meditation and deeper than the other levels. In deep meditation, and meditation is only based on the effect that the author achieved in its ardent, mindful degree of awareness and the extent convince the covetousness life. After practice to level six, the practitioner can return to practice every level, from level one to level five (or includes six levels), but then experienced practitioner with the new operator, as How's his mind with mindfulness and awareness level deeper, more durable, more sustainable, and of course one will achieve new results, better pre elaborately practice.

2. If psychological, radical practitioners of little relevance, or hardly suitable for meditation, the practitioner simply acts specializes level one or level two only. Score key here is in ardent zeal, mindful awareness, and life photography for covetousness.

3. On the joy of feeling, feeling optimistic, joyful mind arises not because the practitioner to do anything else to them arises, the practitioner must also not breathing and how to sit during long net so they start up, nor act in a certain level they start up, but we are starting to arise from its conception, from the awakening of mindfulness meditators. Practice is important to build this force concept. Said he should wait patiently starting to realize the way you are practicing Satipatthana is true, believe in this method can be determined to cultivate and practice it. Just practice more than once for real clever, and waited.

4. Meditation Meditators practice, while not the only acquisition to balance the effect is psychological, to the psychological treatment with the antidote to passive and fitness center, golf si heart and mind at the level of crude. If one weighs the shop is easy to fall into agitation; if heavy on the only easy to fall into dullness. It must have been during meditation, the mind of the practitioner can start credit, joy, joy and optimism, but often difficult to stay long meditator joy and optimism in this, that is still difficult to attain the slopes until Year what would really be repelled.

When practitioners have attained the right, at least Admin meditation, the meditator can act like I want to shop. Now, he should easily recognize what to do when sitting meditation. Bhagavan taught, to Charity, the meditation practice really effective in the except the defilements. In addition to the special inborn sharp intellect, the other radical meditation practice only limited to go into meditation Two, Three and Four Zen meditation. Despite the consistent practice or conduct only permanent basis to that person is still mindful awareness.

5. Four mindfulness teachings or mindfulness of breathing in and breathing out is the practice of mental power on fundamental concepts should be appropriate for all inborn in all time, practitioners do not start center facilities. All the radical concept can practice breathing in and breathing out under sixteen headings above, on the basis of ardent zeal, mindful awareness, and life photography for covetousness, and can go into the soon or late.

6. The practitioner needs to know clearly when feeling less joy arises life should cultivate convince the hindrances to joy arises life, but when the hindrances joy subsided, the time to become active factors cause agitation. Photographic practitioners need mindfulness awareness to a stop face agitation, an anniversary present to go into photography pleasures. When the joy subsided about leaving optimistic life expectancy alone, then life becomes optimistic and put the mind in agitation (lighter level), then the practitioner should be mindful continued peace and permanent photographic discharge center.

Joyful heart, too, at first, the need to ease into the heart to rejoice, but after starting the psychological bliss that becomes active at a different level, now have a net interest expenses photographers. When only net long residence in the heart can go into more deep psychology of passive (in other light level), then there needs to sense the provinces went out, and stay in the exhaust concept, liberation.

We can just imagine the cognitive point presentation this Friday in the example previously mentioned:

The teacher (or teacher) used a knock on the table to make the noise of students in the class in silence, because that is the orders of the teachers told im. But when students were silent, the noisy voice had stopped talking, then knock on the table then the noise if the teacher, the teacher continued to knock the table. Knock on effect of that panel to silence the other noises in class.When the noise was silence, then a knock on the table should also stop.

Also, when making the heart rejoice start (or rapture of mind, optimistic heart start) is to remove the psychological passivity, darkness, hatred. When the passive mentality, dullness, anger about photography then there needs to meditate on mindfulness and awareness to the value of craving.

The number of titles from five to twelve tell us that meaning. Such act is a skillful meditation, there will be good results.

7. The false mind, mental dullness and torpor, in addition to what was created before the convent, which arise due to causes and conditions, the causes and conditions are everything in front of practitioners (both in and outside the body and mind), we totally new, will work together to sparking wandering thoughts. Therefore meditation practitioner need only, meditation and mindfulness and awareness for clever, need to take more time to effectively tame the mind that prospect. Usually comes out of awareness (or the owner) every sensation, every fitness concept.Here Gender responsibility will help practitioners prevent many promising new heart and unborn afflictions.

When that old psychological bondage submersible dives, where the new no psychological condition arises, the practitioner easy to go into. Here is the area of ​​operation clear of defending anniversary practitioner. Road concept should always be dominated by the mindfulness and awareness, by volition as truth. Job tracking and master or primary concept is the work of the religious meditation, it should be done in every posture and in all times. Recognizing this, one will be smooth all levels and forms of practice.

8. When the practitioner to the degree usually vigilant and completely rid of craving and attachment are all wandering thoughts have no reason to exist or to arise. Then the practitioner has accomplished most of what needs to be done, from here onwards nothing to do anymore, he should be called uneducated level, has the total extinction of cankers, liberation is complete right now.

At this point, it is clear that although the practice of meditation says, but in reality we marries gender, concentration and wisdom in this elaborately practice.

To elaborately practice had good results, we need to understand the ways and methods other than the selected five subjects practicing meditation.

The Five antidotes

Five is the first year the center obscured practitioner, the practitioner enters hindering meditation.It was agitation, drowsiness, fitness, golf and amenities.

- About agitation:

When the practitioner can not stop the mind on a selected object, the thoughts kept running from this object through another object, then that is the mentality agitation. Every time fell into agitation, one needs to have to be done for treatment:

- Need to stop thinking, to bring the concept of the breath in, breath out until the center barely saved peace.

- Or bring in the concept of a proper residence as to recite the menu filled, in the palm etc .. to recite before Bhagavan image, images Sensei, etc .. until comfortable enough about the province (images out of my mind).

- Or keep residing anniversary vigilant and mindful.

Agitation has many rough level, various international. Antidote agitation medium is presented to the rough treatment of agitation. Agitation agitation fact that the level of school property, is anxious, hovering in the hope to get rid of the remaining fetters. For this delicate agitation, Bhagavan taught to practice a lot more enlightenment Failure to confront skillfully.

- About dullness, torpor:

Maze maze mentality, drowsiness, or sleep while sitting meditation called torpor dullness. In order for the dullness of torpor, one should apply a number of measures:

- The state of ignorance, one should stop monitoring the breath or thinking, and to center on the top for a while until completely awake. This is the normal method for lightweight bout dullness.

- A number of measures for the next dullness of these are measures Bhagavan teaches venerable Section-devout-ventures, eight days before the venerable prime Arhat fruit (Anguttara IV, pp. 67-68 );

1. When torpor residence and intrusive thoughts, it would be a great attention to his work, do not have much idea of ​​his thoughts. Because doing so hypnotic is eliminated.

2. If you do so that torpor is not eradicated, the consistency of legal thinking as was heard, had been memorized, torpor will melt away.

3. If you do so without result, then recite such measures has been heard, memorized, torpor will lose.

4. If you do so without an end to torpor, then pulling ears and hands to massage the limbs, torpor will be eradicated.

5. If you do so without destroying torpor, then please leave the meditation posture, stand up and get clean water eyes, look towards the horizon and looking up at the stars twinkling, torpor will dissipate.

6. If you do so without result, then the idea of ​​light effects and a great stay at the day center. Thus, the center expanded, not restricted, cultivate the mind is luminous, torpor will be the exception.

7. If you do so without eliminating torpor, let meditation center on site, the front and back ideas to the senses inward, not outward attention, torpor will be excluded.

8. Make such that if not eliminate the torpor, then lying in shape lying lion, leaning toward right hip, legs propped up on one another, mindfulness and awareness work ideas up, and it's great to wake up quickly, do not focus on the optimism of sleep, torpor will come to be the exception.

- About sex hindrances:

Hindrances here Education emphasizes the indulgence of color, sound, smell, taste and touch. In order to treat this education, he should do one of three (or all three) of the following:

- Permanent Impermanence and shop in the legal Anatta (Five Aggregates), by province Impermanence sense that sexual ly. If you find that your self can die at any time, for any reason, can gravely ill for any reason, at any time; love life, love people fragile impermanence, etc .. it will calm ease indulgence or may be let go.

- Or shop the dangers of sexual object, it can bring about the painful suffering in the present and the future; from this meditation can leave the army mind sensual, sometimes completely dispassion.

- Or think of the serene happiness of meditation, because meditation that want to go on letting go of sensual desires.

- On the field hindrances:

That is anger, anger that practitioners need to settle down, or put off.

- About Comfort hindrances:

Comfort mind often cause psychological instability, lack of decision, chaotic. There are many problems of modern practitioners need stability before practicing meditation.

Satipatthana disciplines, especially mindfulness of breathing in and breathing out (with only Satipatthana avoid impure shop) is an excellent method that Bhagavan taught charity. This method does not lead to insanity practitioner. Practitioner mean body conditioning training, conditioning breathing, conditioning the mind, mindful awareness, and operating with only moderate effort, then with all the work that has no impact at the ear nervous system damage to anything, the opposite also create good conditions for working the entire body. He should unequivocally that this meditation never cause madness or disorder.

Some say that meditation is the practice of mental radical only for special, that is not for yourself, then do not start practicing determination. Actually, Meditation suitable for all frugal, without exception. There are forty meditation objects for six inborn class of humanity, according to the presentation of the Nikaya, A-levels and Bat-elegant. This made it clear that meditation is suitable for all people.

Some people doubt the teachings of Zen is only a Buddhist sect, it is not necessarily the transmission doctrine. We must recognize that stability, Meditation is the only way to go to the rescue as Bhagavan taught. Noble Truth is the path through meditation as presented in the Four Noble Truths.

Or, some people see Satipatthana or mindfulness of breathing in and breathing out a simple process that end up doubting the ability led to the liberation of the law and practice. In fact, meditation does not require us to do more things outside the  ardent zeal, mindful awareness, and life photography for covetousness . Through three requests, monitor breathing in and breathing out is too much work, by meditation only advised us that letting go of distracting thoughts, bad thoughts, the passive mentality, take action, the there are too many things and overabundance in our body and mind. Perform relaxation, meditation was done.

After satisfying her, the last remaining obstacle, it is on my suspicions. Suspicions that the product of thinking too complicated and lacking in our establishments. If we conceive to have difficulties in practicing meditation reasonably new, then let go of indulgence on the other, and the other thinking tame the most difficult is that we are expecting. These are two things that caused thousands disorder, human suffering. Here we need to clearly established itself with that, meditation is to remove all evil desires and thoughts, but never with evil desires and the thought that we could go to the meditation efforts both.

If stability is all possible doubt above, then we can begin to meditate with his heart filled with peace, joy and full of confidence, we will have more hope than ever in swung open the door to go into the realm of Zen.

If we do not have such awareness and put into practice so, all elaborately practice of meditation one can only breath, hallucinations and vain expectations. END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH GIAC TAM.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.16/11/2016.
