Introduction to the Buddha's original Meditation.

Meditation in Pali Canon, or "Meditation, a healthy way of life, a method of upbringing education," is a study that deals only with Tathagata without mentioning the Patriarch. Neuter. Here we restrict the Pali Canon without mentioning the Abhidhamma-Pali, with the intention of introducing the Buddhists to understand what primitive Zen is, first and foremost, through the experience of the Pali. The body of the Buddha when he did not attain enlightenment, when he became Dao, during 45 years of sermon and finally when he entered Nirvana. Next, we introduce Meditation through His teachings in the sutras, focusing on the introduction of the Zen method as a clear, healthy way of life that can be applied in the right direction. The present life, It is both a process of liberation and enlightenment. Finally, we would like to introduce a method of meditation: the Anapanasati Dharma, breathing out breathing, a primordial Zen Dharma taught by the Buddha, Can practice, right in the present for yourself.

All of our presentations state the origin of the Pali Tipitaka, to prove that it is the teachings of the Buddha, not the imaginary products of the speaker, and to help those who Want to study the material yourself can also trace to the origin exactly.

First of all, we would like to present: The personal experiences of the Buddha on Zen.

Zen is a method of the Buddha's initiative, because of his personal training experience, no one taught him, and it was through his own experience that he helped develop a liberation and enlightenment. Enlightened, very unique, wonderful; That is the disciplines: wisdom.

The first Zen experience of the Buddha was when he came to study with Alara Kalama on the Methodism, and studied with Uddaka Ramaputta on the Non-Concept Philosophy. Two teachings of Zen Meditation, he studied, he performed, he witnessed and confirmed by two extermination of the true witness.

But he found that these two methods did not bring liberation, so he left. The two foreign teachers said: "France that I self-knowledge, self-achievement, self-proclaimed and self-righteous sage self-knowledge, self-attainment and reside. Self, self, self, self, self, self, self, self, knowledge, self, I am so, come here, sage! Let us take care of this congregation. " Thus, monks, Alara Kalama are my gurus, place me, his disciples on a par with him, and worship me with the highest devotion. Monks, then we think to ourselves: "This dharma is not directed to the cup, not towards greed, Not toward the passage, not towards the calm, not towards the higher mind, not towards the direction of enlightenment, not toward Nirvana, but only lead to the proof of non-possession. Thus, bhikkhus, I do not honor this Fa, and from that denied, I leave ".

The second experience is the experience of the Buddha, when he was not attained the Way, he wanted to eradicate the sex, but because he has not practiced Zen, it is not excluded greed, as the following paragraph states: "Mahajama, In the old days, when I was a Bodhisattva, not proof of Bodhi, not the Chief Justice, Right Enlightenment, I can see clearly as the right view: "The sex, less taste, much suffering, much brain, danger I find it more dangerous here. "Even though I can see with such a right view, but I have not been blessed by lust, evil noble law, or any other higher noble, and so. Mahatma, when I can honestly see with such a righteousness: "The sex, the little fun, much suffering, the brain a lot, and the danger here is more." And I testify To be blessed by the lust,

This experience clearly states that it is only true that the truth of the sex education is not much happiness, not enough suffering, to have to practice meditation, that is the joy of divorce can be re-education and the eradication of sex. It is because of this experience that the Buddha later meditated to restore the sensual pleasures and established the Way of Wisdom in which there was Zen to bring the emancipator to enlightenment.

Gotama's third experience was that when he had practiced ascetic ashes, he realized that asceticism did not lead man to enlightenment and liberation, so he renounced the asceticism and went to Uruvela.

Here, he found a pleasant place, a clear river near, a comfortable forest, a convenient place to practice meditation. He chose that place and decided to sit down there to practice. But three examples have arisen, helping him understand how to meditate how to get results.

For the first example, a firefighter takes a damp, wet piece of wood, puts it into the water and rubs it with a flame to burn it. Of course, with this condition, the fire can not be rekindled.

The second example is the same, this time the leaves are still damp, still full of resin, but are picked out of the water, if there is rubbing with fire tools to rekindle the fire, of course with this condition fire I can not even pinch myself.

The third example is a tree without plastic, removed from the water, and placed on dry land. If the person rubbed the tree with the fire, the fire could be seen. This example introduces Gotama Gotama clearly want to practice meditation for the effective time to have sex, the glass of hope new hope results as recorded in the Central Business:

"Aggivessana, the Sargon or Brahman worshipers who live without renouncing the desire for the body, the interior has not been cleverly cut, not cleverly soften, the prostitutes Sa-subject or Brahman. -la-subject he can not attain the Supreme Chief of the sense of equanimity ... If the god Sa-subject or Brahman live life dissolve the desire for the body ... and the interior has been cleverly deleted , Have been cleverly diminished, these Sa-man or Brahman religion can be witnessed Supreme High-level awareness.

These three examples have introduced Gotama Satana know that want to practice meditation for the results, must be free education, glasses. Therefore, later in teaching meditation, the prerequisite of the practice of meditation is to be "lustful, unsophisticated glass". Being immersed in sex, but doing bad deeds, can not meditate for results. These precious experiences were used by the Buddha when he taught Zen.

Another experience with Gotama Gotama: After practicing asceticism for 6 years without results, he wondered if there was any other path that could lead him to enlightenment, and the following is the note of Gotama. He as he looked for another path, as recorded in the Saccaka,

"But with such a severe austerity, I still can not attain the dharma, the perfect knowledge of the saint, or is there any other path to enlightenment?"

"Aggivessana, then I think:" I know, while my father, the Shakyas, are plowing and I am sitting under the shade of the edible Mushroom. The first jhāna, the first jhana, and the first jhāna, a state of bliss by the lust of life, there are four kinds, when staying so I think: "This way can lead to enlightenment. "? And this Aggivessana, following that notion, consciousness arises in Me: "This is the path to enlightenment."

With this experience, Gotama practice meditation meditation, meditation Monday, meditation Tuesday, meditation fourth. Then came the Fourth Meditation, he was mindful and attained the three and finally, He became the Way, attained holy fruit, into the Right Enlightenment.

We record the following meditation experience, his testimony as recorded in the Saccaka:

And this Aggivessana, after having eaten raw and re-energized, I am free of evil, and attain the first Meditation, a blissful state of divine existence. It is the moment of arising in Me, which is, but does not control My mind, It is free, It is meditation, It is meditation, It is meditation. Aggivessana, so pleasures arise in me, is living but not control my mind, joyful discharge, mindfulness of mindfulness, Aggivessana, so pleasures arise in Me, is existed but does not control my mind, discharge the concept of discharge suffering, kill the happy feeling before, witness and stay meditation Well, not miserable, discharge the concept of purity.Aggivessana,

Then with the calm mind in the Fourth Meditation, Satama Gotama direction to the Tuc network, to Heaven eye, to Wisely Gon:

"By this knowledge, my mind escapes from sexual desire, escapes from illogical possession, and escapes from illicit ignorance." For self-deliverance, knowledge arises: "I am liberated." Have known: "Birth has been, it is a happy life. Things to do. No longer go back to this state. "Aggivessana, it is the third Ming, I have attained in the last watch, ignorance of ignorance, ignorance of light, born of life, Need ".

After the Buddha attained enlightenment, his special way of life, as was done in the Pāli Pitaka, is to teach the method of birth, and practice meditation to liberate oneself. Actually here the two most dynamic images of the Buddha's teachings are the teachings of the Dhamma and Meditation. In the daily life of the Buddha, in addition to the duty of preaching the Dharma being born, the Buddha completely lives the meditation life. Morning, begging, he went deep into the jungle to meditate. In the afternoon, the Buddha often meditated from the stand up, that is, he meditated in the afternoon. At night, in a soup, he walks. In the second watch, he went to meditate and meditate. Canh trinh, He lay down with the shape of the lion. He woke up, went to meditate and sat. When He entered Nirvana, He also from the scene of meditation who entered Nirvana: "Fourth, He entered the Third Meditation. Third Meditation, He entered the second Meditation. Second meditation, he entered the first Zen meditation. In the first Meditation, he entered the second Meditation. Second Meditation, he entered the third Meditation. Third Meditation, He entered the Fourth Meditation. Fourth Meditation, He immediately Enters "(Middle Business).

And we often encounter these two Buddha's advice to the monks: "O bhikkhus, when you reunite, there are usually two things to do: one is the discussion of Buddhism, two Is to keep the silence of a saint ". And the silence of the sages here is Meditation.

The second teachings are the Buddha's advice of meditation: "Bhikkhus, these are the stumps, these are empty houses, monks, do not take liberation, do not have This is my remembrance for you ". And when it is about Nibbana, the Buddha repeated the life of a monk who is meditating meditation, Meditation:

And this Ananda, in the life of monks contemplating the body on the body ... life on the feelings .... mind on the mind ... lawful on the Dharma, zeal, mindfulness, mindfulness, photography Thus, Ananda, himself, is a lamp to himself, self-reliance himself, not as another, using the Dharma as a lamp, using the Dhamma as a place These are the ones, Ananda, are the paramitas in my Beloved Monks.

This teaching of the Buddha is a meditation and meditation advice.

With a master, before the enlightenment had so much experience of Zen, he discovered the Path of Wisdom leading to enlightenment, in which Zen took an important place, until it became Directing and entering Nirvana, which is also the personal experience of meditation. Moreover, from the time of Enlightenment to the time of entering Nirvana, he lived a daily life meditating on the present day to stay and persuade the disciples to practice, until the 45 years of teaching, teaching. His is the practice of Zen. At the moment of entering Nibbana, the last word of encouragement to the disciples is also the encouragement of meditation. For such a teacher, natural meditation occupies a privileged, important position in the scriptures he teaches.

So now, let's find out what Zen is, and how the form of Meditation is. Jhana, from the Sanskrit word dhyana, is defined by Buddhaghosa as follows: "Aramman, üpanijjhànato paccanika - jhàpanato and jhapam" (150) means meditation on objects of choice, And by igniting what is opposite is called Zen. Thus, Zen is meant to select an object and then meditate on that object, allowing for the possibility of burning, incinerating opposites, here, for the hindrances and defilements.

The definition of Zen in scriptures is often embedded in the Layout of Wisdom, and refers to Meditation ie Meditation. These definitions have many details and examples, and can be broken down into the following phases:

- Prepare to meditate
- Subtract the hindrances
- Proof Meditation to the fourth meditation

A. Prepare to meditate

After accomplishing the Aggregate of Aggregates, that is, the attainment of the Suffering, the Temperance in Eating, the Mindfulness of Mindfulness, the Mindfulness of Mindfulness, the Practitioner: "To choose a solitary place like the forest, After the alms round and eating, he sat cross-legged, straight back and resting in front of the table. " (Central Business).

In the preparation of meditation, we see clearly that one must keep the precepts, ie to live a clean and healthy lifestyle, to practice meditation. In other words, meditation is only effective when the life of the practice of meditation is to be evil, evil. Those who eat a lot, sleep much, of course difficult to meditate; Those who are enthralled in education, passionate wine wine yeast cooking, do not good on the body, words, thoughts, of course difficult to meditate. In short, the meditator has to live a healthy and clean life, the new Meditation period is fruitful.

B. Subtract the hint

To renounce hatred, he lives with his mind without anger, compassion from compassion for all sentient beings, To get rid of the anger, with the mind toward the light, mindfulness awareness, mind wash washing mind quietly. In the quietness of mind, the mind cleanses the heart of the traumatic person, leaving his doubts, he escapes from his doubts, does not hesitate, clears his mind of doubt for good. ).

These five hindrances have the ability to defile the mind and weaken the mind, thus eliminating it in order to be wise and let the mind be developed. In the Sutra, Lord Buddha clearly stated the dharma help to remove the five hindrances:

If the mind-matter, the mind of the mind, the greed of attachment is not born and the greed is born of the end ... From the heart of liberation, the rate, if the rate The yard, the yard has not born birth, and the yard has been born in the end ... The elf needs diligence, the bhikkhus, the dull, unborn baby is not born, The end ... The pure mind, the monks, suspected or not born does not arise, or suspected to be born end.

"Monks, like a debt-bearer, do jobs, these jobs are prosperous, they not only pay off their old debts, they have extra money to keep their wives." Previously indebted so I do the profession. These jobs are prosperous, we can not only pay off old debts, we have surplus money to support our wives. "He is therefore happy, joyful, bhikkhus, like a sick person After a period of time, he recovered from illness, eating food, physical recovery.He thought: "I was previously sick, severe pain, eating Indigestion, physical weakness. Now we are recovering from sickness, eating food, recovering. "He is therefore happy to be joyful.He bhikkhus, like a person imprisoned in prison, he after a period of imprisonment , Happiness is good, property is not reduced. He thought: "I was previously locked up in prison, now I am free from prison, peace and prosperity, property is not reduced. He is so happy to be happy. Monks, like a slave, are not independent, dependent on others, are not free to walk. He after a time out of slavery is independent, independent of others, a liberator, free to walk. He thought: "I was previously slave, not self-control, dependent on others, not free to walk. Now we escape slavery, self-control, not dependent on others, a solver Escape, be free to walk ". He is so happy to be happy. Bhikkhus, like a wealthy man, is walking through the desert. He had left the desert after some time, To the top of the village, peaceful, no danger, no property damage. He thought: "I was wealthy, wealthy, deserted, deserted, deserted, no danger, no property lost." He is so happy to be happy.

Likewise bhikkhus, the bhikkhu himself contemplates the five unbroken hindrances, such as debt, like sickness, as a prison, as slavery, as the road through the desert. O bhikkhus, as well as not indebted, as without illness, as free from imprisonment, as free, as earthly peace, this monks, bodhisattvas, They are eliminated. "

So for Zen people, the five hindrances act as a burden, as a bondage and liberation they mean to relieve the burden and free up the bonds. When the five hindus have been eliminated, the Zen practitioner truly enters Meditation, due to a progressive process as follows, as described in the Sutra: "When the mind has dissipated in the hindrances, Because of the joy of joy, the mind is happy, the body is despised by the body of contempt for life.

C. Premonition meditation up to the Fourth Meditation

The Buddha explained meticulously the four meditations attained, in chronological order, along with the Zen Meditation:

After the elimination of the five slopes, the hinds pollute the mind, weaken the mind, the lucid, the evil, the evidence and the first stay Zen, a state of bliss With the reach of the four, he is absorbed, drenched in fullness, full of this body with bliss by the lust of life, no place on the body without the bliss of being instilled. The bhikkhu, as a professional bath, or the practitioner of the bath, after sprinkling the powder in the bronze bowl, immediately stuffed it with water, the powder was wet with wet water, mixed with wet water. Also, the bhikkhus, imbibed, wetted, filled the body with the bliss of lust, There is no place in the whole body that is not blissful due to the sexual instinct that is imbued. "

"Again, these monks, monks kill and reach the fourth testicles and meditation, a state of blissful due to birth, no range, not static, internal static. To perfect this body with bliss by birth, there is no place in the whole body that is not blissful due to the birth of that being, bhikkhus, such as a lake, Up, the East without water holes, the West without water holes, the North without water holes, the South without water holes, and sometimes it is raining. The water is sprayed, soaked, soaked, so full of water filled with cool water, no place is not cool water is permeated. Bhikkhus, he is absorbed, wetted, fullness filled his body, with bliss by birth,

"And again, monks, monks glass Hy discharge residence, Mindfulness, the body feels the pleasures that the sages called discharge notion peanut residence, residence certificate Meditation Tuesday. He instilled To wet, to fill this body full of pleasure without pleasure, no place on the body can not be blissful without being imbued with it. , lotus pond, pink lotus pond white, with the blue lotus, lotus pink, or white lotus. the lotus flower was born in the country, grew up in the country, not beyond the water, feed water, from tip to base roots are immersed, macerated, filled with cool water penetrated by him, not a place of whole blue lotus, white lotus pink lotus or cool water did not penetrate. Also this prestigious c c monks, monks imbued, macerated, makes itself abundantly filled with pleasures without her wedding,

"Again, the rate-rate-pretentious discharge, suffering discharge, feeling good relief before feeling, testifying and meditation fourth, not suffering miserable, discharge pure thought, he imbued the body. I with the pure mind pure in no place on the whole body is not pure mind in the light that is imbued.He monks, such as a person sitting, wearing white cloth hooded, not anywhere on the whole. Likewise, these bhikkhus, who sat seated with their pure body in pure light, have no place in the whole body that is not purified in the light. " .

With the above paragraphs, we have some comments as follows:

Meditation is a concentration of thought on an object, by virtue of that concentration, it is possible to change the five stages of samatha, dharma, blissfulness, renunciation, and dukkha, by samadhi. , Four, Hy, Lac and Nhat. The replacement for Hypnose Hypnosis, Quaternary alternative to Nghi, Hy replaced the yard, Lac replacement for Root, and Replacement for Replacement.

Meaning is directed toward the object. Quartet is centered on the object. The mind is no longer run by other objects, so the object is kissed hypnosis and because the mind is tied to the object, suspected wonder is no longer. Next are the two types of meditation, and Hy, the mind is comfortable, and the body is relaxed. Thus, Zen teaches the mind of a comfortable, comfortable body for the meditator. This pleasure is due to the penetration of sensuality throughout the body of the meditator, no place is not silent. As foam is stuffed with water that is wet with water. As the streams of water soaked wet soaked fullness filled the lake. As the lotus flowers are born in water, growing up in water, not out of the water, from the roots to the tops are whispering wet water. Like a person sitting on a blanket of white cloth, there is no place on the body that is not covered by white cloth. Thus the meditator is blissfully imbued with the whole body, and for this reason, Zen is called the present place of existence (Ditthadhammasukhavihri). What can surprise people is that Zen is a comfortable mind, unlike ordinary people who view Zen as something that is austere, abnormal, secret, and out of life. Thus, two Zen Meditation will penetrate the meditator as good aids for meditation, and it is the joy and loss that leads to meditation as we will see in the following process:

Because of ecstatic joy should be born, because the body should be despised, because the body despair should be born.

Thus birth due to pleasure. The birth of life through the body of contempt, body contempt is due to the joy of joy, and the joy of joy is the heart of joy. Jubilee, good-natured, and good-natured play an important role in initiating the meditation. In other words, the state of bliss is a state of bliss that leads to meditation. Therefore, it is strange to hear about the insane meditation, the failure of the hand, the explosion of the eye, etc. ... Because how the state of bliss leads to disastrous results. so? This is impossible!

Another comment we have is that in Zen, Zen, Four, Plead, Peanut and Concentrate - are sufficient. Meditation on the second, abandoned quadrangles. Meditation on the third, joy is abandoned. On the fourth jhana, the peanuts are rinsed in place and so the fourth jhana is just rinsing and concentric. This event speaks of the gradual purification of the Zen Meditations that are capable of causing the mind to move. In the Zen, must use the range to direct the mind to the object, the use of four to stick to the object, so the mind must be strong activity from falling into two sloping kiss and hypnosis. Because it must be strong, so naturally there is agitation. So up the second Zen. Abandonment is abandoned and only blissful and one-pointed. But the joy of the second Zen meditation is also meditating Monday, so up to the Third Meditation, the joy of abandonment, and only left the concept of residence. Then up to the Fourth Meditation,

The following Sutra clearly states that the first three Zen Meditations are active, only the fourth Meditation is called immobility:

Here in Udayi, bhikkhus, the unwholesome glass, the testimony and the first Meditation, a state of bliss by the divine nature, there is the fourfoldness. This is where the fourfoldness is not eliminated, it is in this state of agitation. Here, Udayi, bhikkhu out of range and four, witness and stay second meditation, a state of bliss. This meditation, Udaya, I say that in a state of agitation, and here what is fluctuating, here is the joy not destroyed, it is joyful Here in Udayi, the bhikkhu attending the meditation, mindfulness of mindfulness, the sense of pleasure that the saints call the discharge of meditation, the testimony and the third Meditation. This temple, this Udayi, I say in a state of agitation, And here, Something linger? Here is the untouched unassailable. This discharge is in a state of agitation. Here in Udayi, bhikkhus dispossess to suffer suffering, kill the happy feeling before, testify and stay meditation Wednesday, not miserable discharge chanting purity. Zen, this Udayi, I say is not in a state of agitation.

The above verse speaks of the purification of the Zen Meditation, from the first Meditation of the Fourth Meditation.

A new image used by the Buddha is the thorn, and in Zen, the noise is considered as the thorn for Zen, as described below.

For the first Zen meditator, the second meditator, the thistle is the thistle, with the third meditator, the thistle, with the fourth meditator, breathless breath The so-called hemp, because these meditations impedes the meditator's unity and does not achieve the desired meditation. "

In short, Zen is a healthy way of life, a method of upbringing education to help eliminate the five hindrances: greed, greed, kiss, hypnosis and suspicion, replaced by meditation, The Four Noble Truths and Concentration, the Sangha come to stay and thus these four Zen Meditations are also called the present Elite Sangha.

Now we go through another issue is what meditation benefits, or in other words, what meditation has the ability according to the Buddha taught. Here, we mention only four benefits or four functions of Zen:

The first is that Zen is capable of eradicating the sex, making the evil do not see the way back.

Second, Zen is capable of counteracting fear.

- Third, meditation brings meditation to the meditator.

And fourthly, Zen brings to intellectual achievement, bringing enlightenment to liberation, leading to nirvana.

One of the functions of meditation is to help one to get rid of the five stages of nurturing, ie by meditating on meditating effectively. The following sutta (the Middle Sutra) clearly states the function of the jhana of Zen:

"Monks, brahmanas or brahmanas who are bound, absorbed, entangled in this year of adulthood, do not see the danger of them, they must be Understand that: "You have fallen into misfortune, have fallen into calamity, have used the wickedness according to your will." Behold, as a deer living in a trapped forest lies down, the deer It should be understood as: "It has fallen into misfortune, has fallen into disaster, has been used by hunters as it should, when the hunter comes, the deer can not leave as it wants." Monks, monks or nuns - who are not bound, not absorbed, are not entangled by this nourishment, see their danger, know their exits and use them They, they need to be h It is said: "You do not fall into misfortune, do not fall into disaster,

"Monks, like a deer who lives in the forest, do not fall down, must lie down, the deer needs to be understood:" It does not fall into misfortune, it does not fall into disaster, it does not suffer. The hunter uses it as he wants, when the hunter arrives, the deer can leave as he wants. "

As bhikkhus, as a deer living in the forest, walking in the forest, peace of mind it, peace of mind it stands, peace of mind it sitting, peace of mind it lying down, Why bhikkhus, It was beyond the hunter's reach.

"Also, the monks, the monks glass sex, glass evil law, evidence and stay Zen First, a state of bliss by sexual ly born, have a range with the quarterfinals. Hey monks, Billion It is called: "One who has blinded evil eyes, has eliminated all traces, has gone out of the eyes of evil." Monks, again, stay Zen and the second a blissful state because of the birth, did not reach the quarterfinals not, most static inner mind. Hey, monks, monks are called .... he took out of sight of the Devil Bhikkhus, again, bhikkhus in the joyful bliss of mindfulness of mindfulness, the feeling of pleasure that the holy people call the discharge of meditation, witness and the third Meditation. , monks that called ... was beyond Devil's eyes. Hey monks, l i too, monks suffering exhaust, exhaust peanuts, kill retired feelings before the wedding, residence certificate Meditation Tuesday, Not suffering, not discharge the pure concept. "Monks, bhikkhus, is called a blind man who has blinded the eyes, has destroyed all traces, has gone out of sight evil."

In the Suffering of the Aggregate of Suffering, the Buddha speaks of his experience when he has not attained the Buddha, in the case of the five years of growth, if there is no time for Zen to eliminate them. The passage is as follows:

"Hey mahatam, the old days when I was a Bodhisattva, not proof of Bodhi, not the Chief of Right Enlightenment, I see clearly with the right view:" The little taste, suffering much, much brain. The danger here is much more. "Even though we are clever with such a right view, but we have not attained happiness due to the divorce, the noble dharmas or any other noble method. I know that I am not free from sexual desire, and hereafter, Mahāmāma, when I see clearly with the right view, the pleasures are less miserable, the more the danger here is more and I testify. To be blissful due to licentious separation of France or a noble method, so we do not have sex.

In the Siddharm Sutra, the Buddha used the four deer's example to show the use of Zen to counter the growth of the sex, making the evil eye blind to the way of return. The doorknob, seeing the bait traps set up by hunters and placed in the trap, became entangled and fell into the hands of the hunters. The second deer, seeing the experience of the deer head, immediately scared to flee into the forest, not dare to approach the bait. But the summer came short of water, lack of food, the second group of deer had to come back, penetrate and eat the hunter bait and end up suffering as a deer head. The third deer group was deeper and wiser, seeing two heads of deer in distress, finding a place to hide in the hunter's prey, trapping the bait but not penetrating, not falling into the hands of the deer. Hunters But the hunters are wiser. They scanned the deer's tentacles, and found the hiding place of the third deer, and the deer finally fell into the hands of hunters. The fourth deer was very wise, drawing on the experience of the three deer hunters before finding a place to hide without leaving a trace so the hunters could know where they were hiding, and from where they went. Trapped but not penetrating, not passionate, should eventually escape the trap of the hunter.

Hunters symbolize evil. The bait traps only for five years. The deer groups only for the Sa-subject, Ba-la-monk. The first deer group only for the Brahman, Brahmin to penetrate, intoxicated years of care should become a victim of evil. The second deity described the Sa-dal, Brahmin learned the experience of the first deer, completely abandoned the prey and the world, living in the deep forest. But in the summer, water grass is scarce, the body of Sa-subject, Ba-la-subjects become weak, exhausted. So they are back to the prey of evil spirits and worldly things. They penetrate, crave the food. So they became victims of evil as the first deer. The third group of deer learned the experience of two heads of deer, no intrusion, no attachment, no escape into the forest. On the contrary, they make a hidden place near the prey, which is sown by evil spirits and worldly things, without intrusion, without attachment; they eat the food of evil spirits and the use of the world. So they do not fall victim to Evil. But then they arise false views: "The world is permanent or non-permanent, the world is boundless or infinite" etc. So, Sa-category, Brahmin does not escape as The mind of Evil. The fourth deity symbolizes the Sa-rim class, Brahman attained the experience of the three classes of precepts, not penetrating, not absorbed in the five years of growth, so evil can not be found. Traces .... They make a place to hide that evil and evil belongings can not come. Making hiding places, they can not penetrate not to eat the food of evil spirits and the world.

And the Buddha said, "What kind of monks, called evil and evil monsters, can not come? Here are the monks, bhikkhus, First and second .... Second stay meditation .... Third test and stay Meditation and stay meditation Wednesday, not suffering, not lost, discharge, Not evil, evil eyes, evil ghosts, no traces that evil do not see the way back.

The power of Zen is to bring peace to the meditator. In the Divine Sutra, there are references to the gods fighting with the Asha. In this battle the gods defeat and run, the aspirants chase. The gods stop the second battle, they are defeated and run long, and the aspirants pursue. The gods stopped the third battle, were defeated and also ran long. This time the gods came back to their hideout in the deva city, and the gods knew that in the city, the Asa could not come to fight. The gods think like this: "Now we have come to the refuge of those who fear. Nowadays, we live with us, nothing to do with the Asanas. "The monks, the Asanas, also think:" Now the devas have come to the place. The hide of those who fear.

Likewise, while bhikkhus, while bhikkhus of liberation, of the unmanifested, attain and abide in the first jhana, a state of bliss by the divine nature, there are four. The second jhana .... attained and retreat The third jhana .... attained and retired The fourth jhana ... while this monks, he thinks As with the coming to the refuge of fear, we live with the self, there is nothing to do with the devil. "The principal monks also think the following: The monks live with the self, there is nothing to do with me ... "Such monks called bhikkhus as evil blind, Evil ghosts, no traces left, leaving evil do not see the way back.

In the Upàli, the Buddha speaks of the power of meditation, and advises only the new Meditations should stay in remote forests. Venerable Upàli, wishing to practice in remote places, said, "It is not easy to live in the highlands of the mountains, in remote places. I think that the jungles are not meditated, "said Upal, who said:" Although I have not been meditated, I will live in the high mountain forests and in the abodes. He was expected to be asleep: "He will sink to the bottom or rise to the surface."

Then the Buddha used the example of a large elephant that can dive into a large lake, bathe and play elephant games, and then climb to shore safely. Because of elephant's great self, find the feet standing in the lake. On the contrary, a cat or a rabbit, seeing elephants do so imitate to follow, thinking that elephants can do well at the same time. Without thinking about it, it jumped into the lake. With that cat or rabbit, it was expected that it would sink to the bottom of the water or float on the water, because its little ego could not find its feet standing in the lake.

Likewise, Upāli, who said, "Though I am not destined for Dhamma, I will live in the mountains of the plateau in the faraway places." With him, was expected that "it will sink or float on the water". Thus, meditation gives us a fearlessness, calms the panic, makes the meditator live in the wilderness, without any fear.

Here, we apply the example of the ten bhikkhuni in the Synod of Suttas, from Bikini n Alavikà to Vajira bhikkhuni, all ten bodhisattvas facing the Devil. Not a bhikkhuni who runs away, because all these ten bhikkhunis are meditating.

Another possibility of meditation is to bring joy to the meditator, from Zen to the jhānas of divine birth, to meditation by birth, to the third meditation without joy, Each of the four meditations of the meditating chanting, each of which is more joyful than the first, and the blissfulness does not dominate the mind of the meditator; The term Ditthadhammasukhavihari is defined for meditation. Thus, Zen also brings joy to the meditator, and blissfulness acts as a food called a food, bringing optimism, effort, effort, excitement, energy to the meditator. , Not as sickly, insane, depressing, depressing, negative as people have wrongly attributed to Zen.

One of the marvelous functions of Zen is to bring wisdom, from wisdom to liberation, liberation of knowledge according to the process of morality, determination, liberation, liberation of knowledge.

The first is from the Fourth Meditation, with the mind calm, pure innocent, not infectious, not afflictive, as smooth, easy to use, firmly calm so, , To Heaven, to ignorance. This is real "This is suffering," know as it is "This is suffering," know as it is "This is the path to suffering," know as " This is the gonorrhea or ", know the truth" This is the cause of the gonorrhea or ", know the truth" This is pirate or kill ", know as" This is the way to pirate or kill. " Thus, in such a way, his mind escapes from sexual desire, escapes from illogical possession, escapes from illicit ignorance.

A process of liberation is mentioned in the Noble Truths, in the process of samadhi and wisdom, samsara, and initiates together, from the First Zen to the Consciousness, from the Second Zen to the Consciousness. From the third Zen to the shop, from the fourth Zen to the shop ... leads to the removal of the smuggled or:

Here, the householder, the bhikkhus, the unwholesome glass, the first Zen samatha, and the jhāna state of bliss, This Zen is a dharmakaya, because meditation is a time of things that is impermanent, subject to annihilation. He is staying here, except the illegal or. And if the smuggled or not removed, due to this attachment, because of this joyful law, he subtracted the lower half of the fetter, being born, entered Nirvana in that realm, This life. Thus, this homeowner, is the unique law by the Blessed One, the Author, the Author, the Arahant, the Chief of the Enlightenment declared. If bhutara is not liberated, zeal, need to live the practice of the Dharma, then the mind has not freed liberation and the illegal or not removed to the exclusion,

Looking at Zen in general, we see clearly the importance of Zen in the process of Kamma, Dhamma, Wisdom, and so help us to eliminate the lusts, making the evil do not see the way; Meditation helps us to eliminate fears; Meditation brings us joy and happiness, mental relaxation, body relaxation, meditation brings health to body and mind, and ultimately meditation leads to wisdom, liberation and insight.

Through the above definitions, we find that meditation is a disciplinary practice that has definitions, special and diverse forms. First of all, meditation is a harmony between manpower and natural strength, a harmony through sitting meditation, sitting meditation, sitting meditation. Meditation also has the ability to resolve the good, the good, and the good is the end. Furthermore, Zen can be seen as an education of feeling, nourishing good feelings such as joy, loneliness, loneliness, and the renunciation of unpleasant feelings, such as suffering. Meditation is a psychological education, breaking the psychology is not good as the hindrances, greed, and replaced by the good psychology is the year Zen meditation is not greed, no yard, no si. In short, meditation is the next stage of enlightenment and the insight into meditation is meditation.

Here, we introduce a Zen practice that we found while we translated the Samyutta Nikaya. We summarize the presentation to introduce to you, especially if you can apply the practice, to be able to properly evaluate this Dhamma and to enjoy the results brought by this Dhamma. That is the Anàpànasati, which is translated as mind breathing, exhales, and is described in the following "One Dhamma":

To practice, to be fruitful, to have great fruit, to have great benefits What is a dharma, the breath, the breath, and the bhikkhus, How to breathe out, how to practice, how to make full effect, great fruit, great benefits?

"Here, bhikkhus, bhikkhus go to the forest or go to the stump, go to the empty house, and sit in the lotus position, straight back. Out ".

I breathe long, he knows: "I breathe out long." Breathing short, he knew: "I breathe in." Short, he knows: "I breathe out short."

"My whole feeling will turn into nothingness," he practiced. "The whole feeling I breathe out," he practiced. "Calm my body will breathe," he practiced. "Calm my body will breathe out," he practiced.

"Feeling good, I will breathe", he practiced. "Feeling good, I'll breathe out," he practiced. "Feeling good, I will breathe out," he practiced. "Feeling good, I will breathe out," he practiced.

"Feelings of mind, I will breathe", he practiced. "Feeling the mind, I will breathe out," he practiced. "Peace of mind, I will breathe," he practiced. "Peace of mind, I will breathe out," he practiced. "Feeling of the mind, I will breathe", he practiced, "Feeling the mind, I will breathe out," he practiced.

"With joy, I will breathe," he practiced. "With joy, I will breathe out," he practiced. With calm mind, I will breathe, "he practiced. With calm mind, I will breathe out, "he practiced. With liberation, I will breathe, "he practiced. With liberation mind, I will breathe out, "he practiced.

Impermanence, I will breathe, "he practiced. Impermanence, I will breathe out, "he practiced. Consciousness, I will breathe, "he practiced. I will breathe, I will breathe out, "he practiced. I will breathe, I will breathe, "he practiced. I kill, I will breathe, "he practiced. I give up, I will breathe, "he practiced. "I will breathe out," he practiced.

"Practicing like that, these monks, make full, so mindful of breathing, breathing out big fruits, have great benefits."

This dharma was confirmed by the Buddha to bring forth the two states of Right Mindfulness and Hybridism:

As practiced in this way, bhikkhus, so full of perfection, are waiting for one of the two following: "Right in the present life is the Right Path. If there are surplus medicine, the results are unlikely.

This disciple helps the meditator to escape from the body of vibration and the mind vibrates:

"Through such practice, mindfulness of breath is exhaled, and so, by making such perfection, the body is free from vibration or agitation, the mind does not vibrate or move." Kappina, Compatible V).

Without enlightenment, the Buddha practiced this dharma body and the eyes of the Buddha were not tired and the mind was freed from the ginseng or:

Right before the enlightenment, not before the Chief Auditorium, as a Bodhisattva, I reside much with this residence (Mindfulness breathed breath out), Because I reside much with stay This, my body and my eyes are not tired, and my mind is freed from the gong or there is no clinging. Therefore, monks, if he wants: From being tired and hoping that my mind is free from smuggling or clinging, this time of mindfulness of breath must be thoughtful. "

There are many monks, while the impure bar for the body, want to give up this body, boring, bored with this body, so some monks brought a knife to end his life . The Buddha heard the monks gathering again, reprimanding and teaching the Dharma practice of breathing out the breath.

"Monks, mindful of this exhaled breathing, are practiced, are full of purity, merciless, homogeneous (Arecanako), to stay, to make evil evils. For example, bhikkhus, in the end of the summer months, the dust and the flying up, the heavy rain in the off-season prompted them to disappear, only Likewise, bhikkhus, mindful of breathing, exhales, is cultivated, is perfected, is purified, is homogeneous, homogeneous, enriched, is tranquil Mysterious, homogeneous, inhabiting, making evil, unwholesome dharma has vanished, net immediately "(Vesali Sutra, Compare V).

When practicing the 16 themes, on the sensations, on the mind and on the dharmas, the Buddha only teaches us to concentrate our minds on how to achieve results while meditating.

He teaches the following (Kimbila Sutta, Verse V):

"Ananda, contemplating the body of the body, the bhikkhu, while meditating, mindfulness, mindfulness, recollection in life. Thus, Ananda, contemplating the body, while indulging in mindfulness, mindfulness, mindfulness, and sensual pleasures in life .... Ananda, I declare Dad said that depending on the congregation, mindfulness of breath is exhaled, not mindless and unconscious, so Ananda, mindfulness in mind, Ananda, meditation on the dhamma, rate-monk while he is meditating, retention, mindfulness, mindfulness recollection in life. Seeing with wisdom, he is cleverly discharged Ananada dhamma on the dhamma,

"For example, this Ananda, a large dump at the crossroads, if from a East a car to come and make the heap diminished, if from the West ... if from the North ... If from the South, a car came and made the heap diminished, so also Ananda, monks while contemplating the body on the body, to reduce the evil evil, while staying Contemplation on the feeling ... When staying on the French law, to reduce the evil evil.

With quotes from the Lord Buddha's teachings on the concept of breath, we examine and analyze, and we have the following remarks on the Anàpànasati:

1. This method of cetasikasatipatthana, which is four-sided meditation, refers to four places in which to meditate on mind, body, feeling, mind and dharmas. This Anàpànasati Dhamma talked about 16 themes of mindfulness: four themes of body, theme of sensation, four themes of mind, four topics of dharma. The meditator breathes in and breathes out and meditates on the 16 themes of the breath.

2. This discipline includes meditation and wisdom, including samatha and vipassana. Both Just, Consciousness, but in this practice. When using the pillar of mind on the breathing breathless, so is only, so is Dinh. When taking the wisdom to observe 16 topics selected, so is Quan, so is Tue.

3. Because of the concept of breathless breathing, the two main movements of the dharma should be noted. First take the range and four directions and concentrate on breathing breathless out during the sitting meditation, do not leave a moment. Thanks to that, the object is kissed, hyperventilated and suspicious. During meditation, our minds do not leave breathless breaths. Only when we attain the Fourth Meditation we need to get out of breath. Next, we take the wisdom of observing the 16 selected topics, from the first one to the sixth theme, and so on, and while observing, we have the practice of To do the topic I was observing, so this method is heavy practice the human mind according to the topic of choice.

For example, if you want your mind to feel happy and lost, time to practice: "feeling happy, I will breathe", he practiced. "Feeling happy, I will breathe out" he practiced, "Feeling good, I will breathe" he practiced. "The feeling of pleasure I breathe out" he practiced. Wanting to calm the mind, time to practice "Peace of mind, I will breathe" he practiced. "Peace of mind, I will breathe out," he practiced. Wanting to be calm, time to practice: "With calm mind, I will breathe," he practiced. With calm mind, I will breathe out, "he practiced. Depending on what you want to practice your mind, what kind of dharma you practice, your mind is fully focused on the problem to practice, this can be regarded as a method of autism implied, It is different from conventional autism induction methods.

4. As the Buddha taught, this discipline results in right awareness in the present, if there is medicine, evidence of the results. Thus this Dharma leads to enlightenment and liberation.

5. This discipline helps us to control the vibration body and mind, which help our bodies, our eyes do not get tired. This discipline is a pure, miraculous, homogeneous method that does no harm to mind or body. On the contrary, the current meditator is staying. This discipline has the ability to break into greed, diminish the dhamma.

Thus, the practice of the Anàpànasati doctrine, does not bring any harm to the body and mind, there are no charms, no seizures, no magic, purely a healthy lifestyle, clear, a pp. Upper education only benefits the practitioner by the fresh air while meditating, by inhaling exhaling through harmony, by nourishing the senses of bliss, by the mind cleansing the hindrances, the eye Being clear, the body is healthy, the lungs breathe in and out of harmony, the heart beats, the circuit is harmonized, help the practitioner progress to enlightenment and liberation.

We have presented the Buddha's personal experience of Zen before enlightenment, while attaining enlightenment, during 45 years of sermon, and while he was in Nirvana. We also presented the basic teachings of the Buddha on Zen. We also introduced a breath-taking breathing practice so that Buddhists and scholars can study and practice.

If we apply the breath-taking Dhamma in our present life, apply simply and persistently, perhaps 15 minutes, half an hour or 1 hour daily, in the early morning or evening. In the dark, gradually we will get the practical results of this method. For those who focus on nourishing, mindful breathing gives you the necessary physical and mental health and approaches "Arogyà paramālabhà".

For those who want to harmonize inner strength with natural power, sitting in meditation in the midst of heaven, in the desert of the night or in the jungle of silence, will give us many miraculous feelings. For those who want to educate feelings, nurture healthy feelings, deal with afflictions, nurture blissful thoughts, breathe out breathless thoughts that can help them stay in touch and look at life with their eyes. optimistic. For those who want to go deep into the matter of psychology, education, nourish yourself the power of Mindfulness, Dhamma, Wisdom; The meditation on this breath helps them attain the goal of emptiness, liberation.

Let's try to revive the healthy meaning of the original Zen meditation, applying the breathless mind that breathes out in our daily lives and so we just quote the grace of dharma. Birth of the Buddha and his own experience of the Buddha's meditation experience. So we can properly evaluate the meditation method of the Buddha and enjoy the good effects of the Dharma Meditation. 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.18/4/2017.
