Take yourself to practice! -
Buddha says: "This, bhikkhus, let's practice. Do not be heedless. Do not let your heart full of negativity. Do not wail, crying that "life is full of confusion, misery, suffering and sorrow." Untrained mind through the practice of mindfulness will make the stress, worry and anxiety. Do not continue to mourn and forever repeating the same mistakes. He can not escape the reality. Life is not pink. It has ups and downs and the collision. This is the reality that we face every day. "
Venerable Ananda, the Buddha's attendants, who served for 25 years Buddha. Many times, Buddha asked him to try to strive to achieve enlightenment.
Venerable Ananda mastery of French and all the theories about meditation. However, because he was happy to serve the Buddha and the Sangha, he has ignored the Enlightenment goals for yourself until - finally - due to the enormous pressure from the A-la 499 - drought, these were convened for the first Buddhist Council.
They determined that the Venerable Ananda to attain enlightenment before the date that the council has scheduled a conference for Buddhist Council was in the third month after the Buddha entered Nip - table.
Buddha says: "Hey Pi Qiu, please meditate. Do not be heedless. Do not let your heart full of negativity. Do not wail, crying that "life is full of confusion, misery, suffering and sorrow."Untrained mind through the practice of mindfulness will make the stress, worry and anxiety. Do not continue to mourn and forever repeating the same mistakes. He can not escape the reality. Life is not pink. It has ups and downs and the collision. This is the reality that we face every day. "
The practice of mindfulness similar damping device in a car. If the shock absorber is not good, you will see how difficult while driving. This our carriage - the body and mind, this combination - full of such difficult moments. There was nowhere they could flee. Though you have reached the moon (today it can do it), you still have to bring the body and mind with all sorts of obstacles still exist in the mind. You can not leave them here and go to the other. Whatever you go, we follow your perseverance, and they make you sorrow, day and night. To eliminate negativity, most of them to experiment with the following three solutions.

They are aware of the problem is "over there, in the world order." So they thought that by modifying the world, trying to solve the ills of society, they can solve their problems. They desire to make environmentally "healthy, fine," and no problems. Only then will they be able to live happily.So they themselves enthusiastically, sometimes becoming obsessed, in trying to purify society. Of course, the desire to improve social ills - in itself - laudable. They found that the suffering and compassion and then start the action. Their full-time job can be trying to repair the ills of society taking up. Maybe they think (do so) they are themselves keep yourselves from the troubles which did not realize that in fact they are neglected and their own confusion. They continued to have pain and suffering is not their main concern, mainly because they do not have time for yourself. These people are very compassionate, understanding, willing to serve society without being rewarded. We had read many wonderful narration of such noble person, who devoted his life to the society without any thought for the realization of their own liberation. These activities can extroverted hinder solving problems yourself.
Although we live in a society with people, but each of us has a little world of their own, have own views, own feel and its own understanding of the world. Every person living under the perception, and its own worldview. Sometimes we may think that all the problems that we experience come from the outside world. So, we turn off power, believe that if put out of his mind on doing something to modify the world will solve our problems.
The second thought that people pursuing to solve their problems is thought that no problem at all.They believe that everything is a fictive. They think: "I exist by themselves, I most importantly, each is important to me alone, and nothing more important to me."
The third way to solve personal problems are fleeing it.
we can get a temporary solace, temporary comfort to think that the problem existed out there, in the outside world, or is it not exist, or the direction of our thinking to something, ignoring the problem or flee the problem.
the solution really is not in these ways. The real solution, according to the teachings of the Buddha, is to discover methods to clean the tools, the actors make the world happy or unhappy or miserable peaceful, pleasant or unpleasant. What tools to create confusion and suffering for everyone. Tool that's what our minds. Purification of mind is one of the purposes of Vipassana meditation.
As we all know, every thought, word, and my job comes from the heart. Mind is the leading man.All the states that we experience them from the mind. They are created in the mind, mind control and guide them: Heart turn them into action. "Mind (standard) led all actions: Center (Italy) master, center (Italy) who artifacts. Act or speak with a state of pollution, the suffering will follow as the wheel follows the foot cow. Act or speak with a pure state of mind, happiness will follow closely as a shadow image " . (Dhammapada 1-2)
Pictures in the image of oxen pulling carts are the most appropriate to illustrate our problems.Where oxen pulling carts with unpleasant to have to pull a cart. What it did not happy with this burden, that's not fun. The poor cow was pulling this car is going to be miserable over time. Both the weight of the vehicle and it fell on his shoulder in pain. The fate of the cows would have been better if it was not born as a cow.
The cow scene is compared with the charming combination of ignorance and confusion - not found the truth (the truth) as it really is . An unenlightened life is full of ignorance and create all sorts of afflictions. Therefore, the unenlightened actions, speech, thinking with pollution will be very similar to the cow, always suffering because they must pull this heavy car. Conversely, when we speak or do something with a pure heart, we will be happy, because there is no regret, no sorrow can follow us.
Our purpose in life is to improve yourself every day and become happy. We do many things to be happy. However, most of the things we do to be happy is to create misery, suffering and confusion because our hearts are not pure. The mind creates new pure happiness, not the impure mind.Therefore, the first purpose of meditation is to purify the mind, which creates peace and happiness.
The second purpose of meditation is to overcome the sorrow and sorrow. When he begins to see the truth (the truth), he can endure and conquer sorrow, sorrow caused by impermanence.
The purpose of meditation is Tuesday to overcome suffering, loss expectations caused by craving and aversion.
the purpose of meditation is the fourth step on the path to wisdom, the right path leading to the escape grief, sorrow, disappointment, pain and sorrow. That is the path of mindfulness carcass only way liberates us from suffering.
The purpose of meditation is Thursday in order to free us completely from mental illness and afflictions and liberated us from the center tie force of greed, hatred and ignorance.
in this purpose is very noble in purpose. All other purposes of meditation may not need to be paying attention to because they can not produce these results, helping us to peace and happiness by eliminating our problems. We do not try to ignore or shun our problems that faced them mindfully, and resolve them as soon as they arise in our mind.
Some people simply want but do not want to meditate a little basic knowledge about meditation.They think that knowledge theoretically interfere only. This attitude can be compared with the attitude of the pilgrim wants to go to a certain place - such as Washington, DC (United States). He is very confident and where his ability think just confidence'm able to take him to the destination.This person may be a moving vehicle - a car. Then he climbed into the car, sitting behind the wheel, and started driving away.
But what he did to prepare for the journey, not understanding anything about the roads, their condition or the understanding of the weather. He did not study the map. Everything he has is the vehicle, confidence and some experience of driving. Maybe the car was full of gasoline, oil and other things, so, pilgrims sat in the car and started to drive away. He can drive to go very far, not to spend less money pouring petrol, time and effort. Indeed, the driver can take him to somewhere, but not necessarily to where he wants to. A driver-wise, by contrast, will study the map carefully, decide to use the detour to avoid traffic jams, and can be consulted by those with more experience.
If the driver Washington wants to - and if there is a place called Washington, DC - the driver will find it. Similarly, we also need to have a purpose in meditation. We want to achieve this purpose and vision into reality. And so we need to have some guidelines. We do not necessarily need true philosophies and theories impracticable. But the guide is the only way to go under the table, to help us know for sure (and not guess) is that we are moving in the right direction. Of course, confidence, and necessary, but it's often not enough. We also need the understanding and theoretical knowledge.
So what is meditation? We achieve this goal by purification of the mind, overcome with grief and sorrow, overcome suffering and frustration, went on the road takes us to liberation from suffering and reincarnation - World life and death of this - how?
There is a way to achieve that. When it comes to the "How", it can make people turn away. Maybe they think the speaker is trying to sell an item and what it is trying to demolishing everything in life, so they say, "If that's the only way, we are not ready to buy it." When you want to go to Washington, there are several ways to get there. Today travel by plane is the fastest. The early, people usually go by car, boat or on foot. Any public transportation, we still have to go all the way to be specific, the new Washington. The important thing here is that we get there - oil by means of fast or slow. Therefore, "The" here means "The Way Mindfulness" across a gap or certain areas to help us to get where we want to.
However, here the path of mindfulness is not in one region or geographical space. It's in our own interest. We have to do some work. Doing that is "How" - way to cultivate our minds in order to complete this journey. Cultivate the mind means that the practice of mindfulness. When mindfulness is absent, as we do not always have mindfulness, we get caught up in things distract us. We're stuck in all sorts of confusion. We can not understand things as they really are.
In order to get where we want to, we need to understand where we're at. Clear understanding comes from mindfulness. Notwithstanding any other way (with awareness) that we do or practice, they all have goals and objectives of their own, and we understand that this does not help purify the mind. "We cultivate a parcel of land " , we understand something when we say so. We know that there must be some means of land and to farming. We have to do some work, such as cutting down trees for clearance, herbicides, plowing back and forth and fertilize soil. Then we sow seeds, care for them to grow some crops. Meditation is similar to that, we need to cultivate the mind. We do not need to sit around, waiting for something to happen. Thus we can wait indefinitely, or is very lauma not wait to see what happens. We can say that we spent a lot of time for meditation.But sitting around doing nothing, it is not meditation. And also, just simply always monitor our breath alone is not enough. Of course, on breath awareness is an important part of meditation.Just follow the breath without any mindfulness does can be called real quiet meditation (samatha) - however - there will be no right concentration without mindfulness. We, however, began with the monitoring of breathing and meditation techniques of Buddhism is entirely different (compared to silent meditation) or Vipassana meditation is called introspection. There are guidelines for the practice of Vipassana meditation or introspection. These guidelines can be found in the Sutta. Four foundation of mindfulness are: Mindfulness in Body, Mindfulness on Feeling, Mindfulness and mindfulness on the Center on France. We will turn them following explanation: Let me explain the first part - Mindfulness on the body. Mindfulness on the body is divided into six sections. The first is that mindfulness on breath. Why breathing again be included in mindfulness of the body? Since breathing is a part of the body. This body, as we know, is made up of four basic elements (four elements): rigid elements (earth), cohesion factors (water), heater elements (fire) and the air element ( pushing or moving). So when we practice mindfulness of the body, we begin with mindfulness on breath, and breath is the wind factor. When you practice mindfulness of the body, we do not stay in a fairytale land imagine that. We are not trying to self-hypnosis. We do not attempt to explore the mystical elements are also kept secret in the universe. We're not trying to integrate into the universe, to become "one" with the universe. All just sounded interesting from that. We are trying to use this right in our personality: body and mind our own. We contemplate the body, mind, and our activities, we observed them because they are the things that go we take them with us. Body and mind is our laboratory. Everything that we need to work with them in which crude materials, chemicals, wind, fire, water, earth -all are there. It is in this body, in the personality that we have all these things. My laboratory is the mind and body. I always try to observe them in me. I can not work in your lab. You have to work in your lab. Most of us have forgotten the lab himself and tried to sneak into other people's labs. We try to look behind what it was eating, doing, behind which was and is associate with someone, go over there, is reading what, how much money and so on ... We always forget the lab our. Maybe we will never know the laboratory within ourselves then what. We, in the practice of Vipassana meditation, becomes the people or introspective, mindful observe and watch what's happening here in this body and mind right in the present moment. Vipassana Meditation is like this; the systematic observation in the laboratory in each of us.END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH GIAC TAM.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.5/11/2016.
