Introduction to the Buddha's original meditation.

---

NHybrid Zen in the Pali Canon, or "Meditation, a healthy way of life, a method of upbringing education," is a study that refers to the Tathagata Zen without mentioning the Patriarch Meditation.Here we restrict the Pali Canon without mentioning Abhidhamma - Pali, with the intention of introducing the Buddhists to understand what primitive meditation is, first of all through the experience of the original. The Buddha's body when he was not attained, when he became Dao, during 45 years of sermon and finally when he entered Nirvana. Next, we introduce the meditation technique through His teachings in the sutras, focusing on introducing the Zen method as a clear, healthy way of life. the present life, It is a process of liberation and enlightenment. Finally, we would like to introduce a meditation technique: Anapanasati, an exhilarating breath, a primordial Zen Dharma taught by the Buddha, a practice of patronage, can practice, right in the present for yourself.
All of our presentations state the origin of the Pali Tipitaka, to prove that it is the teachings of the Buddha, not the imaginary products of the speaker, and to help those who To study the material itself can be traced to the source accurately. 
First of all, we would like to present:  The personal experiences of the Buddha on Zen . 
Meditation is a method of the Buddha's initiative, because of his personal cultivation experience, no one taught him, and it is through his own experience to help him build a liberation and sense-door. enlightened, very unique, wonderful; That is the disciplines: the definition.
The first Zen experience of the Buddha was when he came to study with Alara Kalama on the Methodism of Independence, and studied with Uddaka Ramaputta on the Non-Concept Philosophy. Two methods of Zen meditation, he studied, he performed, he witnessed and confirmed by the two extermination is true.
But he realized that these two methods did not bring salvation, so he left. The two foreign teachers said: "France that I self-knowledge, self-achievement, self-proclaimed and self-righteous sage self-knowledge, self-gain and stay. I realized myself, self, attain and declare, the French that I know, the law knows that sage, France that the sage know, that dharma I know. I am so, come here, sage! Let us take care of this congregation. " Thus, bhikkhus, Alara Kalama is my guru, again puts me, his disciples on a par with him, and worship me with the highest devotion. O bhikkhus, then we think to ourselves: "This law is not directed to cups, not towards glasses, not towards the passage, not towards the calm, not towards the higher mind, not towards the direction of enlightenment, not towards Nirvana, but only to the proof of non-possession. Thus, bhikkhus, I do not honor this Fa, and from that discourse I go away "(Central Beijing ).
The second experience is the experience of the Buddha, when he was not attained, he wanted to eradicate the sex, but because he has not practiced Zen, it is not excluded greed, as the following paragraph states: "Hey Mahana, In the past, when I was a Bodhisattva, not proof of Bodhi, not as the Chief, Chief Justice, I can see clearly as the right view: "The sex, the little, much suffering, the brain, danger I'm not much better here than that, but I have not been happy about lust, lust, or any other noble, and so I Mahatma, when I can honestly see with the right mind: "The sex, the little fun, much suffering, the brain a lot, and the danger here more." And I testify be blessed by the lust, the glass of lawlessness,Central Beijing ) 
This experience stating, alone like the real shop of Education is pleased less suffering many not enough, there must be meditation, ie securities are blissful by sexual ly new being can overcome and eradicated the sex. Due to this experience, the Buddha later meditated to restore the sex and have established the disciplines of Wisdom, in which there is Zen to bring practitioners to enlightenment liberation. 
Gotama's third experience was that when he had practiced the six ascetic years, he realized that asceticism did not lead him to enlightenment and liberation, so he renounced the asceticism and went to Uruvela.
Here, he found a pleasant place, a clear river near, a comfortable forest, a convenient place to practice meditation. He chose that place and decided to sit down there to practice. But three examples have arisen, helping him understand how to meditate how to get results. 
In the first example, a firefighter took a damp piece of damp, submerged in water and rubbed it with a flame thrower. Of course, with this condition, the fire can not be rekindled. 
The second example is the same, this time the log is still wet, still full of resin, but is picked out of the water, if there is rubbing with tools to make fire to rekindle the fire, of course with this condition fire I can not even pinch myself.
The third example is a tree without plastic, removed from water, and placed on dry land. If this person rubbed the tree with fire tools, the fire can appear. This example introduces Gotama Gotama clearly want to practice meditation for effective time to get rid of evil, good luck hope results as recorded in the Central Business:

"Aggivessana, the Sargon or Brahman who live does not dissolve the desire for the body, the interior has not been cleverly removed, not clever to lighten, the god Sa-subject or Brahman -that is not able to attain Supreme Audiences sense ... If the god Sa-subject or Brahmin live life dissolve the desire for the body ... and the inner has been cleverly subtract , have been cleverly diminished, the Sa-subject or Brahman religion can be witnessed Supreme Void Chief Justice.

These three examples have introduced Gotama Satana know that want to meditate for results, must be free education, glasses. Thus, when teaching meditation on the first condition of the practice of Zen is to do is "lust, glass of ungodliness." Being immersed in the sex, also do not conduct good, can not meditate for results. This precious experience was used by the Buddha when he taught Zen. 
Another experience with Satika Gotama: After practicing asceticism for six years without results, he wondered if there was any other way to bring him to enlightenment, and the following is the note of When he was looking for another path, as stated in the Saccaka, the Sutra:

"But with this ascetic fierce, I can not attain the supreme virtue, the perfect knowledge of the saint, or is there any other path to enlightenment?" 
"Aggivessana, then I think:" I know, while my father, the Shakyas, are plowing and I am sitting under the shade of the Mushroom. The first jinn, evidence and residence First meditation, a state of bliss due to lingering, there is a range of four, when staying so I think: "This way can lead to enlightenment "? And this Aggivessana, following this concept, this consciousness arises in Me: "This is the path to enlightenment."

With this experience, Gotama practices meditation, meditation, second meditation, third meditation, fourth meditation. Then came the Fourth Meditation, he turned his mind and witnessed the three and finally, he became the Way, attained holy fruit, into the right level. 
We note the following meditation experience, his testimony as recorded in the Saccaka:

"And this Aggivessana, after having eaten raw and re-energized, is liberated from evil, compassionate and meditating on the first, a blissful state of divine existence." Aggivessana, So it is up to where I am, to exist but not to control my mind, to break free and to quadruple, to testify and to stay in the second jhana, a state of blissful due to birth, not free range, internal static. Aggivessana, so it arises in the place where I live, but do not control my mind. Ly Ly residence discharge, mindfulness of mindfulness, the feeling of pleasure that the holy call to discharge the concept of residence, witness and shelter. The third meditation is Aggivessana, so it arises in the place where I am, to exist but not to control my mind. ,,, Ag Ag Ag Ag Ag Ag Ag Ag, Aggivessana,

Then with the calm mind in the Fourth Meditation, Sa-Gotama mind to Tuc network, to Heaven, to ignorant Wisdom:

"By this knowledge, my mind escapes from sexual desire, escapes from illicit goods, escapes from illicit ignorance. "Sanh was born, it was a happy life. Things to do. No longer go back to this state. "Aggivessana, that is the third Minh, I have witnessed in the last watch, ignorance of ignorance, ignorance of light, because we live without enthusiasm, need "(Central Business).

After the Buddha attained enlightenment, his special way of life as was done in the Pāli Sutra is to teach the method of birth, and practice meditation. Indeed, here the two most dynamic images of the Buddha's teachings are the teachings of Dhamma and Meditation. In the daily life of the Buddha, in addition to the responsibility to teach the Dharma birth, the Buddha completely lived meditation life. In the morning, alms round, he went deep into the forest to meditate. In the afternoon, the Buddha often from the pure meditation stand up, that afternoon he also meditated. At night, in a soup, he walked. In the second, he went to meditate and sit. He lay with his lion rest. He woke up, went to meditation and sat. When He entered Nirvana, He also from the scene of meditation that entered Nirvana: In the fourth Meditation, he entered the Third Meditation, he entered the third Meditation, he entered the second Meditation, he entered meditation, he entered the first Meditation, he entered the second meditation. In the third Meditation, he entered the Fourth Zen Meditation, he immediately entered the Fourth Meditation. 
And we often encounter these two advices of the Buddha to the monks:  "O monks, when they gather, there are usually two things to do: one is discussion of Buddhism, two is the silence of a saint. "  And the silence of the sages here is meditation. 
The second teaching is the Buddha's meditation practice: "Bhikkhus, these are the stumps, these are empty houses, monks, do not meditate, do not have the blood of regret later. I give you " . And when it is about Nibbana, Buddha repeated the lifestyle of a monks are meditation meditation, Meditation:

"And this Ananda, in the life of monks contemplating the body on the body ... life on the feelings .... mind on the mind ... law enforcement on the Dharma, zeal, mindfulness, mindfulness, photography Thus, Ananda, bhikkhu himself is the lamp for himself, he himself as himself, not as another, using the Dharma as a lamp, using the Dharma as the place Take refuge in something else. These, Ananda, are the paramitas in my Beloved Bhagavad Gita.

This teaching of the Buddha is a practice of Zen and meditation. 
For a master, before the enlightenment has experienced such meditation, he discovers the Path of Concluding Wisdom to enlightenment, in which Zen holds an important place, until its completion. Directing and entering Nirvana, which is also the personal experience of meditation. Moreover, from the time of enlightenment until the moment of entering Nirvana, he lived a daily life meditating on the present day to stay and persuade the disciples to practice, until the 45 years of teaching, teaching. His is the practice of meditation. At the moment of entering Nibbana, the last word of encouragement to the disciples is also encouraging words of Zen. For such a teacher, the nature of meditation occupies a privileged, important position in the scriptures he teaches.
So now, let's find out what Zen is, and how the form of Zen is. Jhana, from the Sanskrit word Dhyana, is defined by Buddhaghosa as follows: "Aramman, ùpanijjhànato paccanika - jhàpanato and jhapam" ( 150 ) means meditation on objects of choice, And by the burning of the opposite, so called Zen. Thus, meditation means choosing an object and then meditating on that object, which gives the possibility of burning, inciting opposites, here, to the hindrances and defilements.
The definition of Zen in the sutras is often embedded in the Layout of Concentration, and refers to Meditation, ie Meditation. These definitions have many details and examples, and can be analyzed in the following phases:

- Preparing to practice meditation 
- Subtract the hindrances 
- Proof meditation to the fourth meditation

A. Preparation of meditation
After achieving the aggregate, that is, to achieve the maintenance of the body, the degree of eating, attention minded, mindful awareness, he said: "Choose a quiet place, After the begging and eating, he sat cross-legged, straight back and resting in front of the " . (Central Business).
In the preparation of meditation, we see clearly that one must keep the precepts, that is, to live a clean and healthy life, to practice meditation. In other words, meditation is only effective when the life of meditation is to chastisement, separation of moral. Those who eat more, sleep more, of course difficult to meditate; Those who are passionate about education, passionate about alcohol wine cooking, do not know the good about the body, the words, the mind, of course difficult to meditate. In short, the meditator must live a healthy and clean life, the new Meditation period has the result. 
B. Subtract the hint

"He renounces sexual desire in life, living with the mind of freedom from greed, washing the mind of desire for greed, renounce the anger, he lives with the heart without anger, compassion from all compassion, With the mind of the mind, mindfulness washing, mind wash away the mind of the mind. , the mind quietly, wash the mind out of the tragedy, regretted leaving the doubt, he is living away from the doubt, do not hesitate, wash the mind suspected of good deeds "(Kinh Trung Bo ).

These hindrances have the ability to defile the mind and weaken the mind, thus eliminating it in order to be wise and to allow wisdom to develop. In the Sutra, the Buddha has stated the dharma to remove the five hindrances:

"General impure, the rate-pretentious, if the mind, the pursuit of non-birth and non-arising consciousness is born end ... From the heart of liberation, the rate-pretentious, if the reason The time has not been born, and the yard has been born in the end ... The elite need diligence, this the rate-pedophilia, the birth knot is not born, not born birth, The person with pure heart, the monks, suspected or not born without birth, or suspected to have been born end.
"Monks, like a debt-bearer, do the jobs, these jobs are prosperous, they not only pay off their old debts, they have extra money to nourish their wives." Previously indebted so I made the profession. These trades are prosperous, we can not only pay off old debts, we have surplus money to support our wives. "He is therefore happy and happy, and he is like a sick person. After a period of time, he recovered from illness, eating food, physical recovery. He thought: "I was sick before, severe pain, eating indigestion, physical weakness. Now we are free from disease, eat food consumption, physical recovery. "He is therefore happy to be happy. , Happiness, property is not reduced. He thought: "I was locked up in prison before, now I am free from prison, peace and prosperity, property is not reduced. He is so happy to be happy. Monks, like a slave, are not independent, dependent on others, are not free to walk. He, after a time out of slavery, is independent, independent of others, a liberator, free to walk. He thought, "I was previously slave, not independent, dependent on others, not free to walk. escape, be free to walk ". He is so happy to be happy. Monks, like a wealthy man, are walking through the desert. She left the desert after some time, to the top of the village, peaceful, no danger, no property damage. He thought: "I was wealthy, wealthy, deserted, deserted, deserted, no danger, no property lost." He is so happy to be happy.
Likewise, bhikkhus, the bhikkhu himself, contemplates the five unbroken hindrances, such as debt, like illness, as a prison, as slavery, as the way through the desert. O bhikkhus, as well as debt-free, as without sickness, as free from prison, as free, as earthly peace, this monks, bodhisattvas in five hindrances, when They are eliminated. "

Thus, for the meditator, the five hindrances act as a burden, as a bondage and liberation they mean to relieve the burden and free up the bonds. When the five hindrances are eliminated, the meditator truly enters into meditation, due to a progressive process as follows, as described in the Sutra:  "When the mind itself has ripped off the five hindrances, Rejoice should be happy, because of the joy of the body, the body is despised, the body of contempt is happy life, because the mind is calm. 
C. Evidence of the Four Noble Truths Meditation The Four Noble Truths
are attested in the following order, along with the Zen Meditations:

"After deducting the five hindrances, the hindrings pollute the mind, weakening the mind, the lucid one, the evil one, and the first Zen jhana, a state of bliss by the lust of lust. , with the reach of the four, he is absorbed, moistened to fullness, full of this body with joy of divorce, not a single place on the body without any bliss because of sexual instability. Bikers, as a professional bath, or disciples who bathe, after sprinkling bath powder in bronze, immediately stuffed it with water, lumps of bath that is wet with water, mixed with wet water. , soak the water inside and out, but do not flow into drops. Also, the rate-monks, wet, impregnate fullness of this body with bliss, There is no place in the whole body that is not blissful due to sexual instability.
"Again, these monks and monks go out and four meditation and meditation, a state of blissful due to birth, non-quadruple, internal static one. , making this fullness filled with bliss by birth, no place in the whole body is not blissful due to that birth imbued.He monks, such as a lake, water from the rising There are no openings in the east, no openings in the west, no water holes in the north, no water in the south, and occasional heavy rain. The water is sprayed, soaked, soaked, so full of that lake with cool water, no place where the lake is not cool to penetrate. bhikkhus, he instilled, soaked wet, fullness filled his body, with bliss by birth,
"Again, this monks, rate-release glasses, peaceful mindfulness, the sense of pleasure that the holy call the discharge of meditation, witness and meditation Third residence. , soaked full, filled with this body with pleasure without pleasure, no place on the body can not be happy without being absorbed in it, monks, such as in the blue lotus pond pink lotus ponds, white lotus ponds, blue lotus ponds, or white lotus ponds, which grow in water, grow in water, not out of water, feed in water, from the top of the tops. The roots are soaked, soaked in water, full of penetration by the cool water, no place of the whole lotus, pink lotus or white lotus is not cool water is imbued. 
"Again, the rate-rate-pretentious, relieved suffering, discharge suffering, kill the first feeling, the fourth test and stay meditation, not suffering not lost, pure thought recitation, he imbued the body I with pure mind in no place in the whole body without the pure mind in the sun imbued with it, monks, such as a person sitting, using a blank sheet of cloth, no place on the whole. Likewise, these bhikkhus, who sit, are imbued with the whole body with pure purity, no place in the whole body that is not purified in the light " .

With the above paragraphs, we have some remarks as follows: 
Meditation is a concentration on one object, thanks to that concentration should be able to change the five of the playground, yard, hardship, and Nghi, by the year Meditation, ie, the Four, Hy, Lac and Nhat. The replacement for Hypnose Hypnosis, Quaternary alternative to Nghi, Hy replaced the yard, Lac replacement for Root, and the One replaced Alternative to greed.
Meaning is directed to the object. Quartet is centered on the object. Mind is no longer run under another object, so that the opponent is kissing quietly and because the mind is tied on the object, suspected doubt is no longer. Next to the two chenji Hy and Lac, Hy is relaxed mind, and Lac is comfortable body. Thus, the Zen meditation brings a comfortable mind, a comfortable body to the meditator. This bliss is due to the penetration of sensuality throughout the body of the meditator, no place is not silent. As foam is stuffed with water that is wetted with water. As the streams are soaked with water, the water is full of water. As the lotus flowers grow in water, grow up in water, not out of water, from roots to toes whispering wet water. Like a person sitting on a blanket of white cloth, no body on the body was covered by white cloth. Thus, the meditator is blissfully imbued with the whole body, and for this reason, Zen is called the present dormitory (Ditthadhammasukhavihri). What can surprise people is that Zen is a comfortable mind, which is different from the way people view Zen as something that is austere, abnormal, secretive, and out of life. Thus, two Zen Meditation will penetrate the meditator as a good aide to meditation, and it is the joy and loss that leads to meditation as we will see in the following process:

"Because of the joy of ecstasy, the body of the body is despised .

Thus birth due to pleasure. The birth of life through the body of contempt, body contempt is due to the joy of joy, and the joy of joy is the heart of joy. Jubilee, pleasant life, and goodwill play an important role in meditating. In other words, the state of bliss is a state of bliss that leads to meditation. Therefore, it is strange to hear of the insane meditation practice, the loss of hands and feet, the explosion of the eyes, etc. ... Because of how the state of bliss leads to disastrous results. so? This is not possible!
Another comment we have is that in Zen, meditation, meditation, meditation, and one-pointedness are sufficient. Meditation on the second, abandoned quadrangles. Meditation on the third, joy is abandoned. On the fourth day of meditation, the peanut is discharged instead and so the fourth meditation is just rinsing and concentric. This event indicates the gradual purification of the Zen Meditations that can cause the mind to move. In the first Zen, must use the range to direct the mind to the object, must use the four to stick to the object, so the mind must be strong activity from falling into the two sloping kiss and hypnosis. Because of its strong performance, it is naturally fluctuating. So on the second Zen. Abandonment is abandoned and only blissful and one-pointed. But the joy of the second Zen also makes the second Zen meditate, so up to the Third Meditation, the joy was abandoned, and only left the concept of staying. Then up to the Fourth Meditation,
The following Sutra clearly states that the first three Meditations are still in motion, only the fourth Meditation is called immobility:

"Here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, This is where the fourfoldness is not eliminated, it is in this state of agitation. Here, Udayi, bhikkhu and the fourth, witness and stay second meditation, a state of ecstasy This meditation, this Udayi, I say that in the state of agitation, and here what is fluctuating, here is the joy not destroyed, it is joyful Here in Udayi, bhikkhus are devoted to staying calm, mindfulness of mindfulness, pleasant feeling that the saint called the discharge of meditation, testimony and third Meditation. This, this Udayi, I say in a state of agitation. And here, something lively? Here is the loss of not lost. This discharge is in a state of agitation. Here in Udayi, BUDDHA RELIABLE discharge suffering, kill the happy feeling before, the fourth test and stay meditation, not miserable discharge the concept of pure. This meditation, Udayi, I say is not in agitation. "

The above verse expresses the purification of the Zen Meditation, from the first Zen Meditation. 
A new image is the Buddha used to be hemp, and in meditation, noise is considered as flax for Meditation, as has been described as follows ( Anguttara Economics ):

"For a Zen meditator, the noise is thorn." With the second meditator, the thistle is the thistle, with the third meditator, the thistle, with the fourth meditator, breathless The thorns are called thorns, because these Zen ones impede the meditation of the one who does not attain the desired meditation. "

In short, Zen is a healthy way of life, a method of upbringing education to help eliminate the five hindrances: greed, greed, dark kiss, pretentious and suspicious, replaced by meditation, blissful fourfold and one-pointedness, the upright minds come to stay and so these four Zen Meditations are also called  current supranational . 
Now we go through another issue is what meditation benefits, or in other words, what meditation has the ability according to the Buddha taught. Here, we mention only four benefits or four functions of Zen:

- One is meditation is the ability to rid the sex, making the evil do not see the way back. 
- Second, Zen is capable of counteracting fear. 
- Third, meditation brings meditation to the practitioner. 
- And the fourth is meditation that brings wisdom, bringing enlightenment to liberation, leading to Nirvana.

One of the functions of meditation is to help one to get rid of the five stages of nurturing, that is, by meditating on the meditator effectively removing the love. The following sutta ( the Middle Sutra ) clearly states the function of the jhana of Zen:

"Monks, brahmanas or brahmanas are bound, seduced, infatuated by this year of adulthood, seeing no harm to them; "You have fallen into misery, have fallen into mischief, have been used by evil as you wish." It should be understood: "It has fallen into misfortune, has fallen into disaster, has been used by hunters as it should, when the hunter comes, the deer can not leave as it wants." The monks, the monks or the grandmothers - are not bound, not absorbed, are not entangled by this year of nourishment, see their danger, know their escape from it and use it. they need to be h "You do not fall into misfortune, do not fall into disaster,
"Behold, bhikkhus, like a deer living in the forest, is not trapped, it must be understood:" It does not fall into misfortune, it does not fall into disaster, it does not suffer. The hunter uses as he wishes, the deer can leave as he wants. 
" , peace of mind it, peace of mind it sitting, peace of mind it lies. Why so? O bhikkhu, it is beyond the reach of the hunter.
"Similarly, bhikkhus, bhikkhus, libra, the first jhāna, a state of bliss by the linguistics, has a range. It is called: "One who has blinded evil eyes, has eliminated all traces, has gone out of sight evil." and the second Meditation, a state of bliss by birth, not without space, within one's mind. The monks, again, the glass-happy attitude dispassionate mindfulness of mindfulness, the feeling of pleasure that the Saints call the discharge of meditation, testimony and the third Meditation. That bhikkhu is called ... has gone out of the sight of evil no suffering, not discharge the net bar. "Monks, bhikkhus is called a man who has blinded evil eyes, has eliminated all traces, has gone out of sight evil".

In the Suffering of the Aggregate of Suffering, the Buddha speaks of his experience when he has not attained the Buddha, in the case of the five stages of development, if there is no time for Zen to eliminate them. The passage is as follows:

"This mahatàma, long ago, when I was a Bodhisattva, did not attain Bodhi, did not attain Right Enlightenment, I can see with the right view:" The little taste, suffering much, many brain. The danger here is more. "Even if we see it as true with such right view, but I have not attained happiness by lust, noble France or any other noble law. I know that I am not free from the lusts, and here, Mama, when I can see clearly with the right view, the pleasures are less miserable, the more the danger here is more and I testify. To be blissful due to licentious separation of French law or a noble one, so we are not the dominant sex.

In the Sutra of the Sutra), Lord Buddha used the example of four deer to show the use of Zen to counter the growth of the sex, making evil blind eyes do not know the way back. Deer head, found trapped by hunters and sown, entered the bait, became lustful and fell into the hands of the hunters. The second deer, seeing the experience of the deer, immediately scared to flee into the forest, not dare to approach the bait. But in the summer, water shortages, food shortages, the second group of deer coming back, invading and eating the hunter's bait and eventually suffering from headaches. The third deer was wiser, saw two heads of deer in distress, immediately find a place to hide near the bait hunters, eat the bait but do not penetrate, do not crave so do not fall into the hands of the hunters But the hunters are wiser. They searched the tentacles of the deer, and found the hideout of the third deer, and the deer finally fell into the hands of the hunters. The fourth deer was very wise, drawing on the experience of the three deer hunters before finding a place to hide without leaving a trace so that the hunters could know where they were hiding and from where they went. The trap, but not intrusive, without passion, should eventually escape the trap of the hunter.
Hunters symbolize evil. Traps for only five years. The deer groups only for the Sa-subject, Ba-la-discipline. The first deer only for the Sa-subject, Ba-la-intruder, immersed in years of care to become a victim of evil. The second deity describes brahmanas and Brahmins who have learned from the first deer, completely abandoning their prey and worldly things, living in the deep forests. But in the summer, grass water is scarce, the body of Sa-subject, Ba-la-subjects become weak, exhausted. So they return back to the prey of evil spirits and worldly things. They penetrate, crave the food. So they became victims of evil as the first deer. The third deer learned the experience of two deer heads, not intruding, not coveted, no fleeing into the forest. On the contrary, they make a hidden place near the prey, which is sown by evil spirits and worldly things, without intrusion, without attachment; they eat the food of evil spirits and worldly practices. So they do not become victims of evil. But then they arise false views: "The world is permanent or non-permanent, the world is boundless or boundless", etc. So, Sa-subject, Brahmin does not escape as the power of evil. The fourth deity represents the Sa-category, Ba-la-subject experience of the previous three classes, do not penetrate, do not engage in the use of five children, so evil can not find They make a hide that makes Evil and evil possessed impossible to come. As a place to hide, they can not penetrate not to eat the food of evil spirits and the world.
And the Buddha said,  "What kind of monks, called evil and evil monsters, can not come? Here are the monks, bhikkhus, First and second .... Meditation and stay meditation .... Third test and stay meditation ... fourth test and stay meditation, not suffering, not lost, discharge recitation, barren so called Billion- Not bad eyes, evil eyes of Evil, there are no traces that evil do not see the way back. 
The power of meditation is to bring peace to the meditator. In the Divine Sutra ( Tang Chi Department), mentions the gods fighting with A-la. In this battle the devas defeat and run away, the aspirants chase. The gods stop the second battle, they also defeat and run, and the aspirants chase. The gods stopped the third battle, were defeated and also ran long. This time, the gods came back to their hiding place in the deva city, and the gods knew that in the inner city, the Asa could not come to fight. "The gods think like this:" Now we have come to the refuge of those who fear. Today, we live with us, nothing to do with the Asanas. "The monks, the Asanas, also think:" Now the devas have come to the place. the refuge of those who fear. Now they live with them, nothing to do with us. "

"Also, the rate-monks, while bhikkhu-liberation, the glass of evil, attain and reside First Zen, a state of ecstasy by divorce, there are four. The second Zen meditation .... and attain the Third Meditation .... attained and retreat Meditation of the fourth ... while this rate-rate monks As follows: "With the coming to the refuge of fear, we live with the self, there is nothing to do with the devil." The principal monks also think the following: To the refuge of fear, the monks live with the self, there is nothing to do with me ... "That monks so called Monks do evil blind eyes, Evil ghosts, no traces left, leaving evil do not see the way back.

In the Upali ( Anguttara ), the Buddha said to the power of meditation, and recommend only those monks meditation at the new so far away mountains. In order to practice at distant places, Lord Buddha taught:  "It is not easy to live in highland mountainous forests and remote places. I think that the jungle bhikkhus is not meditated. "" Upala, who said: "Though I have not been meditated, I will live in the high mountain forests and in the abodes. "He will be sunk," he said. "He will sink to the bottom or rise to the surface."
Then the Buddha used the example of a large elephant that could dive into a large lake, bathe and play elephant games, and then climb to shore safely. Because of the elephant's great self, find your feet standing in the lake. In contrast to a cat or a rabbit, see the elephant do so imitate to follow, thinking that the elephant can do as well. Without thinking about it, it jumped into the lake. With that cat or rabbit, it is expected that it sinks to the bottom of the water or floats on the water, because its tiny body can not find its feet standing in the lake.

Likewise, Upala, who said, "Though I am not called, I will live in the mountains of the plateau in the faraway places." With him, was expected that "It will sink or float on the water". Thus meditation gives us a fearlessness, calms down all tremors, so that the meditator can live in the deep, desolate forest without any fear.

Here, we apply the example of the ten bhikkhuni in the Synod of Suttas, from Bikkhuni Alavikà to Vajira Bhikkhu, all ten Bikkhu-ni are confronted with the Devil. Not a bhikkhuni who runs away, because all these ten bhikkhuni are meditating.
Another possibility of meditation is to bring joy to the meditator, from Zen to the jhānas of divine birth, to second jhana by birth, to third meditation without joy, To the fourth meditation with the discharge of pure meditation, each one is more joyful than the first, and the bliss does not control the mind of the meditator, on the contrary, the meditator is now staying, as The term Ditthadhammasukhavihari is defined for meditation. As such, Zen also brings joy to the meditator, and blissfulness acts as a food called appetite, bringing optimism, effort, diligence, encouragement, energy to the meditator. , not to be sick, crazy, mentally retarded, depressed, negative as people have wrongly attributed to meditation.
One of the great functions of Zen is to bring wisdom, from wisdom to liberation, liberation of knowledge according to the process of Gender, determination, liberation, liberation of knowledge.
The first is from the Fourth Meditation, with the mind calm, pure innocence, not infectious, not afflictive, as smooth, easy to use, firmly calm so, , to Heaven, to ignorance. "He knows the truth" This is suffering, "know as it is" This is suffering, "know as it is" This is suffering, "the truth" This is the path leading to suffering, "known as" This is the gonorrhea or ", know the truth" This is the cause of gonorrhea or ", know the truth" This is pirate or kill ", know as" This is the way to pirate or kill. " Thus, in such a way, his mind escapes from sexual desire, escapes from illogical possession, escapes from illicit ignorance. For such self-liberation, arises understanding " "Sanh was, Pham has done, things to do, no longer back this state again . " (Central Business). 
A process of liberation is mentioned in the Eight of Beijing ( Beijing Central ), in this process Dinh and wisdom, and insight fellow together, from the first meditation instruction to shop, from Zen Monday toward consistency , from the third Zen to the shop, from the fourth Zen to the shop ... leads to the elimination of the smuggled or:

"Here, the householder, the bhikkhus, the unrighteous one, the first and the first, the state of bliss by the linguistics, has the ability to think and know: This Zen is a compassionate, conditioned meditation that is impermanent, subject to annihilation. He is staying here, except the illegal or. And if the goblins are not excluded, because of this attachment, because of the joy of this law, he subtracted the lower half of the fetter, is born, entered Nirvana at the scene, not to go back. This life. Thus, this homeowner, is the unique law by the Blessed One, the Author, the Author, the Arahant, the Chief of the Enlightenment declared. If bhikkhus are not liberated, zeal, need to live the practice of the Dharma, then the mind has not liberated the liberation and the illegal or not removed to the exclusion,

Looking at Zen in general, we see clearly the importance of Zen in the process of Mankind, Tenderness, and thus helps us to eliminate the lusts, making the evil do not see the way; Meditation helps us to eliminate fears; Meditation brings us joy and joy, peace of mind, comfort of body, meditation brings health to body and mind, and eventually meditation brings wisdom, liberation and insight knowledge.
Through the above definitions, we find that meditation is a disciplined practice with definitions, special and diverse forms. First of all, meditation is a harmony between manpower and natural strength, a harmony through sitting meditation, sitting meditation, sitting meditation. Meditation also has the ability to resolve the good, the good, and the good is the end. Furthermore, meditation can be considered as a training of sensation, nourishing good feelings such as joy, loneliness, renunciation, and the renunciation of unpleasant feelings, such as suffering. Meditation is a psychological education, the end of the psychology is not good as the hindrances, greed, and replaced by the good psychology is the year Zen meditation is not greed, no yard, no si. In short, meditation is the next stage of the precept and meditation which is meditation.
Here, we would like to introduce a meditation practice that we found when we translate the Samyutta Nikaya ( Economics Ministry Samyutta ). Let us summarize the presentation to introduce you, especially if you can apply the practice, to be able to properly evaluate this Dhamma and to enjoy the results brought by this Dhamma. That is the Anàpànasati, translated as mind breathing breathless, and is expressed as follows in the "One Dharma"

"There is a dharma, bhikkhus, practiced, full of fruitfulness, great fruits, great benefits." What is a dharma? How to breathe out, how to practice, how to make full effect, great fruit, great benefits? 
"Here, bhikkhus, bhikkhus go to the forest or go to the stump, or go to the empty house, and sit in the lotus position, straight back. out". 
"Breathe in." He breathed, "I breathed in." He breathed in a long breath, he knew. he knows: "I breathe out short".
"I feel so full body," he practiced. "The whole feeling I breathe out," he practiced. "Calm my body will breathe", he practiced. "Calm my body will breathe out," he practiced. 
"" Feeling happy, I will breathe ", he practiced" feeling happy, I will breathe out, "he practiced. I will breathe out, "he practiced." Feeling happy, I will breathe out, "he practiced. 
"Sense of mind, I will breathe," he practiced. "I will breathe out," he practiced. "Peace of mind, I will breathe", he practiced. "Peace of mind, I will breathe out," he practiced. "Feeling of the mind, I will breathe", he practiced, "Feeling about the mind, I will breathe out," he practiced.
"With joy, I will breathe," he practiced. "With joy, I will breathe out," he practiced. "With calm mind, I will breathe", he practiced. "With calm mind, I will breathe out," he practiced. "With liberation, I will breathe," he practiced. "With the mind of liberation, I will breathe out," he practiced. 
"" Impermanence, I will breathe, "he practiced." Impermanence, I will breathe out, "he practiced. I will breathe, "he practiced." Consciousness, I will breathe out, "he practiced." I kill, I will breathe, "he practiced. ", he practiced." Quan abandon, I will breathe ", he practiced." Quan abandoned me will breathe out, "he practiced. 
"Practicing like that, these monks, make full,

This disciple was certified by the Buddha to bring forth the results of the mind and the future:

"To think of the breath and exhalation, to be practiced like this, these monks, so full of such, are waiting for one of the following two:" Right in the present life is Right Mindfulness. If there is medicine, the results of the future. 

This disciple helps the meditator to escape from the body of vibration and the mind vibrates: 
"By such practice, the mind of breathing breathless, the bhikkhu through such a fullness, so the body is not vibration or agitation, the mind is not vibrating, not agitated. 
Without enlightenment, the Buddha practiced this dharma body and eyes of the Buddha are not tired and the mind is freed from the smuggled or:

"Before monks, I have not attained the sense-basin, while still a Bodhisattva, I reside much with this residence (Mindfulness breathed breath), Because I reside much with stay My body and eyes are not tired, and my mind is liberated from smugges or grasshoppers. Therefore, bhikkhus, if bhikkhu wished: "May the body and the eyes From being tired and hoping that my mind is freed from the smuggled or ungodly, this time of mindfulness of breath must be thoughtful. "

There are many monks in the impure state of the body, want to give up this body, boring, bored with this body, so some monks brought a knife to end his life . The Buddha heard the monks gathering again, reprimanding and teaching the Dharma practice of breathless breathing out.

"Bhikkhus, this breath-breathing mindset, practiced, is made full of purity, merciless, homogeneous (Arecanako), staying in harmony, making evil evils. For example, the rate-monks, in the end of the summer months, dust and flying up, the heavy rain in the off-season immediately made them disappear, only Likewise, bhikkhus, mindful of breathing, exhaled, practiced, perfected, is pure, homogeneous, homogeneous, unity, homeland, making evil, unwholesome dharma has disappeared, net immediately "(Vesali, Vth).

When practicing the 16 themes, on the senses, on the mind and on the dhammas, the Buddha only teaches us to concentrate our minds on how to achieve results while meditating. 
He teaches the following

"This Ananda, living contemplation on the body, bhikkhus, while meditating, mindfulness, mindfulness, recollection in life. So Ananda, contemplating the body, while indulging in mindfulness, mindfulness, mindfulness, reverence for life ... .... Ananda, I declare I think that depending on the concentration of mindful breathing, it is not for the retarded and the unsettled, so Ananda, mindfulness in mind, The Ananda, the Dharma on the legal, the rate-monk in the midst of the heart, mindfulness, mindfulness, retribution in life. With the wisdom, he is cleverly discharged. Therefore, n Ananada law on the legal,
"For example, this Ananda, a large dump of rubbish at the crossroads, if from a East a car to come and make the heaps of dust, if from the West ... if from the North ... If, from the South, a vehicle comes and makes the heap diminished, so too is Ananda, who, while indulging himself in the body, reduces the evil, life on the feeling ... When staying on the French law, to reduce the evil evil.

With quotes from the Buddha's teachings on the concept of breathing out, we find out and analyze, and we have the following remarks on the Anàpànasati: 
1. This disciplines belong to the disciplines The four foundations of mindfulness (cattàrosatipatthàna), ie, the four disciplines (minds, feelings, minds and dharmas). Anàpànasati mentioned 16 themes to stay centered: four topics about the body, the subject of feelings, four topics about the mind, four topics about the French. The meditator breathes in and breathes out, meditates on the 16 themes of the breath.
2. This discipline includes meditation and wisdom, including samatha and vipassana. Both Just, Quan Tue but tu in this method. When using the four-pointed mind on the breathing breathless, so is only, so is Dinh. When the intellectual mind of 16 topics selected, so is Quan, so is Tue.
3. Because of the concept of breathing breathless breathing out of the monk, Dinh Tuue tu tu, so the two major movements of this subject should be noted. First take the range and four directions and concentrate on breathing breathless out during the time of sitting meditation, do not leave a moment. Thanks to that, the object is kissed quietly, pervasive and suspicious. During meditation, our minds do not leave their breaths. Only when we attain the Fourth Meditation, do we need to leave the breath. Next, we take the wisdom of observing the 16 selected topics, from the first one to the sixth topic, continuously observing the same, and while observing, we have the effort to practice The subject of this subject is observation, so this method of training depends on the human mind depending on the topic chosen.
For example, if you want your mind to feel happy and lost, the time to practice: "feeling happy, I will breathe", he practiced. "Feeling happy, I will breathe out" he practiced, "feeling happy, I will breathe" he practiced. "The feeling of pleasure I will breathe out" he practiced. To calm the mind, the time must practice "Peace of mind, I will breathe" he practiced. "Peace of mind, I will breathe out" he practiced. To allow the mind to be static, time to practice: "With calm mind, I will breathe", he practiced. "With calm mind, I will breathe out," he practiced. Depending on what you want to practice, what the law of the time, completely focused on the problem to practice, this can be regarded as a method of autism, should be different from conventional autism induction methods.
4. As the Buddha taught, this discipline results in the Right Mind in the present, if there is medicine, evidence is the result of the wrong. Thus this Dharma leads to enlightenment and liberation. 
5. This discipline helps us to control the vibration body and mind, which help our bodies, our eyes are not tired. This discipline is a pure, miraculous, homogeneous method, does not cause any harm to the body and mind. On the contrary, the current meditator is staying. This discipline is capable of the passage of grace, the light of the immoral law.
Thus, the practice of Anàpànasati, this does not bring any harm to the body and mind, there are no charms, no seizures, no magic spells, purely a healthy lifestyle, innocent, a pp. Upper education only benefits the practitioner by the fresh air while meditating, by inhaling exhilarating air conditioning, by nourishing the sensation of bliss, by the mind clears the hindrance so the eye Being clear, the body is healthy, the lungs breathing in and out of harmony, the heart beats harmony, the dance is regulated, help the practitioner progress to enlightenment and liberation.
We presented the Buddha's own experience of meditation before becoming enlightened, while attaining enlightenment, during the 45 years of sermon, and while he was entering Nirvana. We have also presented the basic teachings of the Buddha on meditation. We also introduced a breath-taking breathing practice so that Buddhists and scholars can study and practice.
If we apply the breath-taking Dharma in the present life, apply simply and persistently, maybe 15 minutes, half an hour or 1 hour daily, in the early morning or in the morning. We will gradually get the practical results of this method. For those who are interested in nourishing, mindful breathing makes the mind and body closer to "Arogyà paramālabhà".
For those who want to harmonize inner strength with natural power, sitting in meditation in the midst of heaven, in the desert of the night or in the jungle of solitude, will give us many wonderful feelings. For those who want to learn sensation, nurture healthy feelings, deal with afflictions, nurture blissful thoughts, breathe out breathless thoughts that can help them stay in touch and look at life with eyes. optimistic. For those who want to go deep into the issue of psychology, education, nourish for themselves the power of mindfulness, determination, knowledge; The meditation on this breath helps them attain the goal of emptiness, liberation.

Let's try to revive the healthy meaning of the original Zen meditation, applying the breath-taking mind in our daily lives, and so we just quote the grace of the dharma. the birth of the Buddha and himself is the experience of the Buddha's meditation experience. So we can properly evaluate the method of meditation of the Buddha and enjoy the good effects of the Dharma Meditation. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/8/2018.
