10.Sitting posture and number of breath

Question: Occasionally, you may meditate once every two or three days. The time is not long. About half an hour, sit flat on the ground and follow the seven-seat method. However, after sitting up, there will be discomfort on the lower vertebrae. ?

I tried the cushions before but it seems to be unstable.

Answer: Seven sitting methods. After sitting, you should lower your body forward and push the tail off. Then stand up straight, support the roots of your legs with your hands, straighten your spine up as far as possible, put your hands back, and relax and meditate gently. you try.

The mat should be flat, soft and moderate. Don’t be too hard. It is advisable to sit soft.

 Question: In the book, it is recommended to count from 1 to 6-10. Is there any special reason for you to count to 600 or more? . Does the breath you are talking about stop or observe?

Answer: Count from 1 to 10, count from 10 to 1, and then set. If you can do it, of course you can press this. But modern people have a fast-paced life, and their bodies and minds are used to the state of delusion. It is only a short number of 1-10, because the time is too short to make the heart really calm down. So from 1 to 600, it is about 45 minutes, which is a long time. One is good for cultivating a time habit. Repeating the double count is a relatively difficult precept. Having a precept is conducive to entry. From these two aspects, for beginners who can’t stop delusion, I think the number of 1-600 is more suitable.

 Q: What do you think of holding spells and giving food?

Answer: Of course it is good to hold some mantras of Buddha and Bodhisattva. The benefits are as stated in the scriptures. I don’t appreciate it. However, I personally feel that holding some mantras, such as the six-character Daming mantra, and the quasi-raising mantra, are indeed effective in purifying the body and mind.

Giving food should be cultivated just like the concept of compassion. Give food with compassion. All sentient beings will benefit from it. When doing self-cultivation, you should not do what you want. This is better.

 Q: What else do you need to finish? How to fix it?

Answer: Do you mean that you have completed the four meditations? After you finish these, you also need to repair your troubles. Further, we must cultivate the Tao of Buddha, the Tao of Buddha. That is a deeper subject. For beginners, fixing liberation is the first step. The Bodhisattva Path is also to be liberated. There is no unresolved Bodhisattva, this is to know.

 Question: Brother, hello. Yesterday, I checked some introductions about “False Enlightenment” and “True Enlightenment”. I don’t know what my brother thinks? I self-taught and taught at home. I have n’t worshipped the master yet. I do n’t know if my brother can introduce some convenient methods and Buddhist scriptures after starting to learn. Thank you!

Answer: True enlightenment is enlightenment. False understanding is understanding.

False enlightenment is not enlightenment.

Enlightenment is ignorant. Take the mystery as a realization. Wu gains nothing.

Started after the realization? ? ? ? There is nothing to cultivate after you realize it. How not to get lost, still diligently remove troubles, or practice Dinghui.

( Editor’s note : Interpretation can be regarded as the wisdom gained by hearing . It is dry wisdom , and it needs to be modified to prove it . It can be experienced. The experience can be truly tasted! )

 Question: Brother, how do you observe the cause and effect method? How can I see the thought before the thought? Thank you.

Answer: It is best to have the foundation of the Four Zens to practice the concept. Read Sichan homes clean state is the best quality of mindfulness to mindfulness Xiuhui this quality was likely to have results. The thought before the thought was trouble. Everything is trouble-driven. The trouble is simply ego. Just trouble. To see ego. There are many ways. You can go back to the source of your thoughts by looking at them (viewing). You can also practice meditation and settle in. If you have to think about it, you have to be pure and persistent, and nothing else. Therefore, if I am not thinking about the situation, I will stop.

The fundamental aspect of ego is the difference between what can be done. Therefore, the separation of the energy and the energy of the two is that there is no distinction at all. After the principles have been explained, you can figure out how to fix it yourself. Always go away and leave separately.
