TYPES OF MEDITATION
Buddhist texts,
such as Visuddhimagga,
describe forty different methods
of practice.
All of them
have the same goal;
to train the mind to be still
and to attain Buddhahood.
The practice of meditation
can be divided
into
three types,
Base on how the mind
is positioned
and the locations
of its bases;
Positioning the mind
outside the body;
positioning the mind
somewhere in the body;
positioning the mind
at center of the body.
Positioning the mind
outside the body,
most people practice
with this method,
Because
they are
accustomed to the habit
of looking outward.
The downside is that
the images seen
tend to be illusionary,
not real.
This is not the right practice,
if you wish to achieve
the highest level
of attainment.
Positioning the mind
some where in the body.
This is keeping your consciousness,
your feelings, or emotions
inside your body.
This method is practice
by very few people.
False images seldom appear
and a wide range of knowledge
can unfold, but you won't arrive
at the path leads to the ultimate
attainment.
Positioning the mind
at the center of the body.
This is the method
of setting your mind
at the point in the center
of your body.
You train your mind
to be perfectly still
until it reaches
the highest balance,
At which stage
you'll experience
inner mental phenomena
leading to higher knowledge
and bliss.
This is the direct practice
that leads
to the path
of liberation.
