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.

MEDITATION สมาธิ:: What is meditation? The mind can be compared to an ocean,

MEDITATION
สมาธิ

What is meditation?

The mind can be

compared to

an ocean,

And momentary mental events

such as happiness, irritation, fantasies,

and boredom can be compared to the waves

that rise and fall on the ocean's surface.

Just as the waves
can subside
to reveal the stillness
of the ocean's depths,

So too
is it possible to calm
the turbulence of our mind
to reveal its natural clarity.

The ability to do this
within the mind itself
and the key to the mind
is meditation.

Meditation
is a means
of mental development
and cultivation.

It is through meditation
that our mind
is trained,
refined perfected.

Meditation can be practiced
by a layperson
for the benefit
of happy life,

As well as
by a monastic
for the attainment of
liberation.

Meditation is universal.
It is not only
for Buddhists,
but for people of all faith.

At its core, meditation is about
touching the spiritual essence,
or the seed of enlightenment,
that exists within us all.

This spiritual essence
is not something that we create
through meditation;
it is already there, deep within.

Behind all the barriers,
patiently waiting for us
to
recognize it.

One does not have
to be religious
or even interested in religion
to find value in it.

Becoming more aware
of your"self"
and realizing your spiritual nature
is something that transcends religion.

Anyone who has explored meditation
knows that it is simply a path
that leads to a new, more expansive
way of seeing the world around us.
