November Changsha Meditation Sense (reprinted)
I am learning Buddha Xiaobai one, in May this year the first contact with Zen seven, meditation, know that there is a D.D. exists, can take off life and death (although do not know what is out of life and death). The first time I saw the road to Dinghui, in a practice of WeChat group, at that time left a heart, but did not want to learn immediately the urgency. The second time I noticed the road to Dinghui, it was recommended by Zhu Shi brother in Hangzhou that Anhui had Zen seven in mid-October. I was in the fog of practice at the time, eager to seize the straw of salvation, looking for a way out. I couldn't attend Anhui Zen Seven because I was going to be under caution in mid-October. But sometimes want to urgently free into the road of Dinghui (although at that time also did not know much about this law, just a want to free as soon as possible heart, a willing to put down everything to learn to repair the heart). After learning that Changsha had Zen seven in November, the first time to buy tickets, gu must not have important items in hand, holding the heart of resignation without approval to go to Changsha.
From here (Ding Hui Road Meditation Experience)[转载]
After very lucky to meet a certain FS (here is not convenient to disclose the name) guidance of the Dinghui road, I asked my own view of the problem. FS pointed out that: insufficient and over-determined will be impaired, and I have been in a state of mindless, no view, but also broke my doubts: I see is not the same as my persistence, put down the opinion can be instantaneous, put down tired of my stubborn trouble is to slowly watch until not born. Cleared the ideological barrier, I gave birth to a great deal of confidence, honest work, began to see the law on the road. Subsequently appeared the self-esteem of the heart is another barrier, FS to gravity as a metaphor to break my many years of misjudgery, the current experience of the D.D. is indeed true, can be empirical. Very grateful for FS guidance! In return, only this life hard work and hard work!
A brief description of the method of meditation on ding Hui's road.
Dinghui Road From shallow into the deep, its practice guidance is: the second: first Zen, two Zen, three Zen, four Zen. First meditation, to obtain a stable fixed force, fixed mind, to four Zen as the most clean fixed force; Second practice. To look at cause and effect to break my see, to see the heart to break the trouble of confusion. Look at the emptiness of the 18-sector evidence. Dinghui Road second clear, stop the double luck, its evidence can be verified, for Buddhist practical enthusiasts, explorers to provide a validated by the previous high-efficiency practice route.
About the dangers of practice and seeking God's help.
And it's not worth it to be attached to God. Why is that? God is no match for industry. It can be said that God's pass does not play much role in world affairs. What to report and what to report. This is not something that God can change. The industry is always greater than God's power. Even Buddha can not resist the carnivore, but also to show that suffering from horsemeat, back pain and other fruit reports, so cause and effect can not be disorderly. Once attached, the appendix causes, it is generally difficult to unbly. All kinds of torture, control the mental consciousness and body of the appendix person, the appendix person is not oiled out of light, the appendix generally will not leave. You say, be a good person and make a cow horse for the ghosts of the three evils.
