To tame and soothe negative emotions; In Buddhism, there are numerous meditation methods. There are three ways I have found meditation is particularly effective in the modern world, everyone can use and benefit. These three methods is the
1. That is easily and intently focus on breathing.
breath is life, it is the most basic performance of our lives. In Judaism, breathing as ruah, which means Spirit of God created all things; in Christianity, between the Holy Spirit and breathing, but also has a deep relationship. In the Buddha's teachings, the breath (Sanskrit is called prana) is the So, when you adjust the breath leaving a very smooth calm down, you also have to tame and train your heart. In our experience anxiety, if we can be alone a few minutes, take a deep breath as long as quietly, not how much you can feel at ease? Even such a simple exercise, can be of great help to us.
Therefore, when you are meditation, we should as usual, natural breathing. Focus your attention on the breath with ease. When each breath, that is, to lay down and lift all dedication. Imagine the gas into the ubiquitous in truth. After each breath, then inhale before you will find the attachment disappears, there will be a natural gap.
live in the gaps in security, safety and living in the open space. When you breathe naturally, do not focus on particular on the inhale, and to continue to live in peace of mind the gap that has opened on the.
When you exercise, do not do any of that in mind, analysis or self-gossip. Do not continue to keep your heart the comments (
not to focus too much on the breathing; as long as the per Nianwu enough attention on your breathing, and the rest of the seventy-five% open is quiet and relaxed. When you breathe more and more of the the clear, it will find you more awake, you have received the photo back to its own scattered mind as a whole.
this time, do not Slowly, the breath itself, breathing person, and respiratory movements into one; confrontation and isolation are gone.
you will find this very simple process of mindfulness, will filter your thoughts and emotions. Then, as if you were peeling in general, something to be stripped of the free.
However, some people can not relax or breathe freely view; even the concept that breathing is almost claustrophobic. For these people, the next method might be more helpful.

an object using the second method is to gently on the heart of an object, many people find this method very useful. Anything that allows you to have a particularly inspired natural objects, such as a flower or a crystal can be. However, the concrete manifestation of the truth of things, such as Buddha, Christ like, especially if you like guru, will be more powerful. Master alive, bound together by you and the truth; because you and the teacher mentoring relationship, just watching his face, it will be your inspiration from nature and truth linked together. Many people
statue of Guru Padmasambhava (known as This statue built in the eighth century Tibet, but also through his blessing. Padmasambhava by his supernatural power, the introduction of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetans regard him as the Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche said: Johnson who, he has the compassion and wisdom of all Buddhas. He has a virtue that anyone asking him, he can immediately give the blessing; and that they pray to him what he has the ability to satisfy our immediate desires. His eyes are deep and quiet, almost burst out from the photo will come into your state without any awakening of persistent, profound meditation. Then, very quietly to put your heart to Padmasambhava.
3. execration
third method is to link together the heart and the Curse of the sound, which is common in Tibetan Buddhism (Sufi religion, Orthodox Christian and Hindu also used.) Mantra is defined as Those who protect the people from falling into a negative state of mind, or not under the control of the heart Bono, are called mantra.
When you feel nervous, confused or emotionally vulnerable, the mantra can completely change your mood, transforming its energy and atmosphere. How could it? Mantra is the essence of the sound to the sound performance of the form of truth. Subsumption each sound is spiritual power, concentrating the truth, the French Jia Chili emitting Buddhas. Fine ride in the heart of the energy on breathing through the whole body, purify the body's chakras. So, when you mantra, you are in the Curse of the energy added to your breathing and energy, equivalent to a direct exercise your heart and precision of the body.
mantra I recommend to students is , masters and enlightened by the curse. In a violent and chaotic era, with a strong quiet, treatment, transformation and protection forces. Quiet and very focused to recite the mantra, so that your breathing, mantra and your awareness slowly into one. Or in a special way Songzhou, and then after the peace of mind living in Songzhou depth silence.
familiar even though I have this Famennian life, sometimes I still curse the power to surprise. A few years ago, I host a meditation camp in Lyon, France, a total of three hundred participants, mostly housewives and psychotherapist. I have been teaching all day, but most of the time they seemed to be related to me, relentlessly asking questions, one by one. Evening, I collapsed the whole person, the whole room full of dull atmosphere. So, I read this curse I just mentioned. I was very surprised, even with such power mantras; within minutes, I feel more energetic, the surrounding atmosphere has changed, all the audience seemed to light up and charming. This experience again and again in my body, so I know it is no coincidence that Heart meditation meditation when we Nothing to do with its natural on the line. A meditation on the divisions to be described as
a famous saying: : The more people ignore or disrupt it, the more impurities will settle to the bottom of the tank, the water was naturally bright and clean nature will also be revealed. The nature of the heart as well. Its course, without change, it can find true joy and a sound.
so do not let the heart have any Guaai or burden. When you meditation, do not bother to control it, and do not let your heart quiet force. Do not over-serious or think you are doing a special ceremony; even do not have the concept of meditation you are. Let your body maintain the natural, but also to keep your breathing natural. You imagine the void, to accept the whole universe. Delicate balance of meditation,Bailey UGG boots, like other arts, relaxation and alertness in the delicate balance between the need to maintain. There was once a Biqiumingjiao million ear, following the Buddha's closest disciples to learn a meditation. He could not understand what kind of mentality should hold, it is hard to concentrate, but a headache. So he relaxed mood, the results fell asleep. Finally he asked the Buddha to help. Before the Buddha knew that he was a monk known musician, asked him:
nor too loose. Maggie called La degrees (Ma Chik Lap Dron), she said: , we should relax into the idea of relaxation is not even attached. Thought and emotion: people start meditation and ocean waves, it is often said that their ideas are wild, become chaotic than ever. However, I repeatedly assured them that this is a good sign. This is no chaos than ever before that your thoughts, but because you are becoming more quiet, you finally noticed how your thoughts have always been messy. Do not lose heart or give up. Whatever thoughts arise, you have to do is stay awake, even in the midst of chaos, we should also put attention on the breath.
ancient meditation teaching methods in the record: the beginning of meditation, the idea is always one after another, never stopped, as if the mountain is steep waterfall. Gradually, progress in the martial arts of meditation, thought like a stream through the deep and narrow gorge, and then slowly, like a meandering river to the sea, and finally, the heart becomes calm and serene as the ocean, but occasionally there are ripples or waves appear.
Sometimes people think that meditation, never can have any thoughts and emotions; when thoughts and emotions arise, they become annoyed that himself. Far from it, there is a Tibetan saying:
as if the sea has waves, or light as the sun, the heart of the light is its thoughts and emotions. The sea has waves, not to be disturbed by the waves. The nature of the sea waves. Waves from the students, but they will go? Back to the sea. Waves come from? Sea. Similarly, thoughts and emotions is the light nature of mind and performance, which arises from the heart, but dissolving go? Back to the heart. Regardless of what is emerging in mind, do not see it as a particular problem. If you are not a strong response, if you are able to impatience, it still will again return to its nature.
If you have this understanding, then the idea from the minds of students will only enhance your practice. If you do not understand the nature of their light nature of mind, your thoughts will become the seeds of confusion. Therefore, with the broad-minded and compassionate attitude towards your thoughts and feelings, because your mind is your family, your heart family. In front of them, just as Dudjom Rinpoche often said: how to deal with emotions should do. Broad-minded in the realm of meditation, you can not look at your prejudice thoughts and emotions. When your attitude changes, the heart will change the whole atmosphere, even the nature of thoughts and emotions will change. As you become more approachable, they will become more lovely; if you do not think they have any questions, they do not find your trouble.
Therefore, no matter how the students from the thoughts and emotions, let their students play and faded, like the sea waves in general. Whether you find that you are thinking, let that thought arises and faded, not to be limited. Do not seize it, feeding it, or condone it; let go, do not make it concrete. Do not run with the thought,UGGs, do not greet them; to look at their own waves as the sea, or overlooking the clouds that pass by as the sky in general.
Soon, you will find thinking like the wind, came and went. Secret is not to
the ordinary person in mind, we see a continuous flow of its thoughts; but that is not the case. You will find that each have a gap between two thoughts. When thinking of the past has passed, but not yet thinking of the future from time to time, you will discover there is a gap, the feel or Therefore, meditation is to make thinking slow down, so the gap is increasingly apparent.
one of my masters students 名叫阿帕潘 (Apa Pant), he is an excellent Indian diplomat and writer, served as Ambassador of India in many countries, also in the Government of India representative in Lhasa, Tibet, has also been ambassador to Sikkim. He is a practitioner of meditation and yoga, every time I see my master, he always ask He follows the Eastern tradition, the identity of the student teacher asked again and again up a simple, basic question.
A Papan told me the story. One day, our Master Jiang Yang, the capital of Sikkim, Khyentse is just in front of Germany and watch the Lama Temple,UGG boots cheap, the palace dance, clown antics for giggling. A Papan constantly bother him and asked him again and again how the meditation, the Guru decided to make a once and for all of his reply: not arises, which do not have a gap?
Just as there are many doors and windows of the room allows the air blowing in from all directions, the same, when your heart is open, naturally there will be a variety of experience into the heart to. You may experience the joy and clarity, or without thinking no thought of the realm. From a certain perspective, these are very good experiences, but also a symbol of progress in meditation. Because when you experience the joy, this is the desire of the characterization of the temporary digestion; when you experience the real clear and bright, this is the characterization of harassment has been suspended. When you experience the realm of free thinking no thought, this is a temporary loss of ignorance has been the characterization. Good experience in themselves, but if you are attached to them, will become obstacles. Experience is not the consciousness; but if we have not dedicated, they really play their role and become conscious of the material.
negative experiences are often the most misleading, because we always think of them as a bad symbol. In fact, the negative experience in our practice, it is blessing in disguise. Try not to hate, in turn, have to understand their true nature, they just experience it,bailey UGG boots, such as the mist in a dream. Understanding the true nature of experience, allowing you to remove the experience itself, harm or danger, so that even negative experiences, you can also become a big source of blessings and achievements. Since ancient times, there are many masters, the negative experience in hard and put them into the consciousness of the catalyst.
Traditionally, practice for a real people, not hinder the negative experience, but a good experience. When things are going well, you must be especially careful and righteous thoughts clear, and avoid becoming over-confident or satisfied. Remember Dudjom Rinpoche I experienced a very strong experience for me to say: Like other persistent, must be removed. In meditation and life, we must learn not persistent good experience, not hatred and negative experiences.
Dudjom Rinpoche warned us another trap: in general: fantastic slow. In fact, this is only a vague and distracted stagnation it. and how to escape this realm it? clear yourself, your back straight, dirty lungs exhaled air, put your void awakening force directed cool and bright, fresh and over your heart. If you are still stuck in this stagnant, you will not progress; Therefore, whenever there is such a backward situation, must be cleared again. trying to stay alert Mindfulness is clear, it is very important. Then, continue to stay quiet and not scattered in that realm, and do not need any special methods. That method has completed its task. However, if your heart is lost or scattered, and you must re-use the method allows you to pause.
real beauty of meditation, not in any way, but it continued to live in the moment experience, and its joy, clear, calm and most importantly, there is no persistent in its top. The reduction of their dedication, more freedom of your own sign. When you are more experienced this freedom, you will more clearly ego, hope and fear will gradually disappear, and you will be more close to the infinite wealth of When you live in that wisdom home, you can not find Home - Fuji realm. Rest People often ask: incomplete case. I have not found in the classic twenty-minute meditation statement; I think that the Western developed idea, I call it Focus is not on the length of time, and in mindfulness meditation is really clear and gives you live in the present level. In that realm, you open a little, can connect with your mind. Five minutes of waking meditation, far better than twenty minutes of falling asleep!
Dudjom Rinpoche always say, beginners should be a short meditation time, take four or five minutes, then rest a minute. At rest, to lay down the methods of meditation, mindfulness but not even you can put down the clear. Sometimes, when you have been trying meditation, it is wonderful that the rest of the moment, if you have clear and mindful living in the moment, but is meditation occurred. That is why in meditation, rest and meditation equally important reason. Sometimes I would advise the problems faced by students of meditation, meditation at rest, to rest in meditation.
sit awhile; then rest, about thirty seconds to a minute a very short break. But no matter what, should the the clear, do not lose mindfulness and its natural lightness. Then let yourself awake, re-sit. If you like to do many times in this short meditation, you break your meditation will often become more real, more stimulating; them from your meditation process, remove the awkward, painfully rigid sense of feeling and not a serious nature, to bring you more and more focus and lightness. Gradually, through this cross-use of rest and meditation, meditation and daily life of the barrier will collapse, they will be the contrast between the digestion, and you will find yourself more and live in a natural, pure moment, mm is not fretting. Then, as Dudjom Rinpoche used to say: combined with the knowledge of everyday life. I would like to stress: the combination of meditation in life is the basic meditation, focus and purpose. Violence and anxiety of modern life, challenges and disorder, so that this combination has become more urgent.
someone complained to me: They practice and daily life in two isolated world, is not mutual inspiration. It reminds me of when he was studying in Tibet know of a teacher, he can parse the rules of Tibetan grammar was clearly and logically, they can barely write a correct sentence.
being the case, how do we do to achieve this integration? How can I make the quiet joy and broad-minded meditation into everyday life comfortable? In addition to the ongoing practice, the method does not replace, because only through the real practice, we can begin to consistently taste the quiet nature of mind, so it can maintain this in everyday life experience.
I always tell my students, do not jump too quickly to meditation, stay a few minutes, so calm and peaceful meditation into your life. Dudjom as my guru Rinpoche said: general. When you re-enter everyday life, let the meditation that brings you the wisdom, insight, compassion, humor, soft, broad-minded and comfortable experience in your everyday life is full. Meditation to awaken your understanding the nature of all things is how unreal dream; or even to maintain the kind of life and death, Oliver awakening. A master once said: humor to work. For example, when you're walking, do not have a serious sense of unnecessary or self-consciousness. Instead, you have to ease into the open void of truth. When you sit down, you have to be a bastion of truth. When you eat something, make your negative Shenkou Yi Industry and fantasy of eating empty stomach, digestion are all over the Dharma Realm empty. When you go to toilet, the concept is being washed to purify all obstacles. really important to not only practice meditation, but meditation, you have what kind of mood. Whatever you do, they must be quiet and focused state of mind that an extension of. I like a Zen koan, a disciple asked the master:
eat, sleep when sleepy.
! when they sleep, when not everyone was sleeping, ah! when I go to bed. This is the combination. If you really want to achieve this goal, you need to do, not just the occasional practice as a medication or treatment, but treat it as a daily food. This is why the pressure far away from modern urban life in retreat in the practice environment, is the power of the Most Excellent development of such a combination of methods.
often been to participate in meditation, always want to be the result of abnormalities, such as seeing a scene, light, or supernatural powers. When these miraculous phenomena did not happen, they feel disappointed. But the real miracle of meditation is even more than usual and useful of these phenomena, that is a subtle transformation, this transformation is not only in your mind and mood, but also actually occurs in your body. It has great curative. Scientists and doctors have discovered that when your good mood, your body's cells is also more pleasant; the other hand, if your bad mood, your cells become toxic. The health of your whole person, with your mind and way of life. I said that meditation is inspired by the road leading to consciousness, were the best. Whenever I talked about meditation students, I always emphasize rigorous practice of meditation and devotion must be respectful; the same time, I always tell them that meditation must be as full of inspiration and originality. From a certain perspective, meditation is an art, you have the artist's feelings and rich creativity into meditation.
as if you are in everyday life, often a little nervous and competitiveness in general, you should start your own deftly into the peace effort into. Very pleased to meditation there are many ways that you can find something to make your music in high spirits, to open your heart and mind. You can move your collection of past poems, proverbs, or Shariah, put them on the side, ready to boost your spirit. I have always liked the Tibetan Thangka painting, from their beauty to get power. You can also find some sense of the sacred copy to inspire paintings hanging on the walls in the room. You can listen to a discovery master tapes, or listen to the sacred canon. You can place your meditation, put a flower, the point of a stick of incense, a candle, dedicated to guru photos or protective deities, Buddha, simple and solemn. You can put the most ordinary room into a warm sacred place, so you like meeting an old friend, joy and happy to contact with your true self.
ranked in the downtown if you find the home, not easy to meditation, you need to have creativity, into nature. Nature is always a source of inspiration. To keep your calm down, you can walk in the park at dawn or watch the dew on the rose garden. You can lay on the ground, looking at the sky, let your heart be extended to the vast Void, so that the outside world wake up the sky in your mind another piece of sky. You can stand on stream banks and stream to your heart with the flowing together, into one with the gurgling sound of water. You can stand waterfalls, it has the effect of laughter purify your mind. You can walk on the beach, so sweet sea breeze blowing in your face. You can praise the beauty of using the moon quiet your heart. You can sit on the lake or gardens, quiet breathing, when the moon in the cloudless night sky, solemn and slowly rising, let your heart quiet down.
all the achievements of meditation can be used. A smile, the underpass of a face, cracks in the concrete path out of a flower, a piece of beautiful hanging fabrics in the shop window, the sunshine windowsill flower pots look. Always find the footprints of the United States or elegant. Stay awake at any time, the
slowly, you will be able to master your own joy, the joy of adjusting your own discretion, with a variety of methods to enhance, inspire, shine and inspire your every breath and movement. How to practice is a great person? A living in the moment, I really ready to face their own people and continues to reveal a source of inspiration for that person. As the contemporary British writer Lewis Thompson (Lewis Thompson) said: , embodies the transcendent truth.
Chapter evolution, evolution of industry, and reincarnation, industry and the reincarnation of the Buddha's enlightenment that important night, he reportedly went through several different stages of awakening. First of all, his heart,
I remember many, many past lives. I, II, III, IV, V ... ... Fifty-World, a BES ... ... thousands of the world, was born in a variety of space and time. I know everything about the world: they take place, my name is called, I was born in which family, do what I did. I experienced the world of good luck and bad luck for each and every death of the world, and then again by the students. The way I remember endless past lives, and their characteristics and the environment. This is my first night hours from knowledge.
dawn of history, I believe there is life after death and reincarnation beliefs in almost all world religions, have played an important role. In early Christian history, Christians believe in reincarnation regeneration, this view has been to the Middle Ages are still in various forms. One of the most influential Church Fathers, Ming Jiaoou Reagan (Origen), that Past strengthen its victory, but also because of the failure of past life weakened. home Balzac (Balzac) writings. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century Western interest in Eastern religions has been a considerable number of Westerners have accepted the cycle of knowledge of Hinduism and Buddhism. Among them, the great American industrialist and philanthropist Henry Ford (Henry Ford) wrote:
twenty-six years old, I accepted the theory of reincarnation, (Western) religion does not provide such complete view. Even work can not fully satisfy me. If we can not get the experience of a world that I, the use of the next, then the work is wasted. When I find to reincarnation, the ... ... time is no longer limited. I am no longer a slave to the pendulum, ... ... I am willing to give long-term view of life by sharing with others the peace.
1982 Gallup poll showed that almost a quarter of Americans believe in reincarnation. If we consider the materialism and science dominate almost every aspect of our lives, and this is a startling statistics. However, most people in life after death is still only a very vague concept, reincarnation in the end do not know what it is. People often tell me they can not believe something without evidence. But there is no evidence to prove that it can not exist? As Voltaire (Voltaire) said: The experience of a child or yesterday, or even an hour ago to do, when, despite all that fresh, but the memory almost completely disappeared, as if the general had not occurred. If last week did not even think of things we do not remember, to remember past lives are doing, how can there be so easy?
Sometimes I jokingly asked someone: deal with this situation? Are not you restricted in order to deny the faith itself? even without concrete evidence of your so-called 『』 in, believe in reincarnation may exist or at least not against it, is it not reasonable? What constitutes a specific cycle evidence of it? In human history, why are there billions of people, including Asia's greatest philosophers, saints and geniuses are believe in reincarnation, and treat it as an important part of life in it? Are they all stupid?
let us return to the specific evidence. Just because we have not heard of Tibet, or just because we have not been to Tibet, Tibet does not mean that does not exist. In the American continent was Even after it was discovered, people are still arguing whether it exists. I believe that this is due to our narrow view of life, so that we can not accept, can not begin seriously pondering the possibility of reincarnation.
Fortunately, this is not the end of the story. Of us engaged in spiritual practice - for example, who finally found a lot of meditation on the heart of the facts, which we previously did not know.
