The practice of the Tathagata pure meditation.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

 The Zen masters often teach: "Liberation can only be experienced in practice and never attained on the discussion of empty theory." Through meditation, the Buddhas have enlightened and attained Enlightenment. Therefore, administrative practice is the practice of meditation practiced by Shakyamuni Buddha, experiencing and communicating so that the Buddha disciple can practice towards liberation. This is the method of practicing according to the Noble Eightfold Path to eradicate greed, including three parts: Gender - Dinh - Tue.

I. GENDER

If you want to go far, you have to start from near, you need to start from low. Meaning that in order to attain enlightenment, one must start from the ladder of the precepts. Therefore, at the beginning of the meditation course, yogis need to chant the penitence to purify their karma, then maintain the three precepts to keep it throughout the course. In particular, the pure moral precepts must be very serious, because words and acts of distraction often disturb our minds, not enough peace and quiet to look inside. Therefore, gender is the fundamental foundation for people to meditate.

II. No.

Concentration is the method of concentrating thoughts, making the mind calm and the mind becomes strong and examining the dhammas. The Buddha taught many methods of concentration and maintaining mind on a single object. But the method of discovering the most favorable intrinsic entity is the dharma of contemplation, also known as the contemplation of the breath. In this meditation course, the method of mindfulness of breathing is practiced in all the postures of walking, standing, lying, and sitting, which the term Buddha calls meditation, meditation, meditation and meditation.

1. Method of walking meditation:

Walking meditation is going according to the general guidance. During the course of meditation, yogis go to practice with the congregation in the class. Having focused on walking the left or right foot of the person who walked before him, contemplating the breath or silently reciting the Buddha's recitation so that the mind would not be disturbed. Walking meditation is a method to help your body move and your mind relax and relax with every step you take.

2. Cylindrical Meditation Method:

Cylindrical meditation is a method of standing in one place in a position so that the two heels just touch each other and the feet are folded into a V shape. The two hands are spontaneously released, not forced. Eyes closed, mouth closed, mind watching the breath. Meditation meditation gives the meditator a steadfast virtue, overcome all difficulties in life.

3. Meditation method:

Meditation is a method of sleeping in a conscious posture. Before sleeping, one should sit still, contemplate breathing for 10 to 15 minutes. When you feel drowsy, sleep in a lion position, lying on your right hand, left leg on your right leg, your right hand lightly below your right cheek, your left hand hanging in the middle of your stomach and continuing with the bar recite the breath until you fall asleep. Sleeping in such a way helps the meditator to be alert, without nightmares, to wake up and be alert and alert.

4. Meditation method:

Meditation is a method of sitting peacefully to be practiced through three steps: conditioning one's body, conditioning and conditioning.

a. Body:

Regulating is to regulate the sitting posture accordingly before practicing meditation. It is possible to sit in the lotus or semi-old. Straight back, right head, mouth shut, tight teeth, tongue spread and tongue tip just touch the upper gums. Eyes closed, looking inside, earphones inside, mind watching the breath. Two hands on the ankles and feet, catch the black seal or put your hand on your lower hand so that the two thumbs touch each other.

b.News:

The thing is to regulate the breath. Before meditating, let go of all conditions, keep your mind quiet, then start practicing three special breaths.

First breath: inhale deeply, exhale completely to clear the lungs. 
Secondly: take a deep breath and hold it back, until you can't stand it anymore, exhale slowly and completely. 
Somewhat third: inhaling deeply and then holding back, when I could not bear it anymore, exhale naturally and let go, not initiating thoughts, keeping my mind completely pure. 
These three breaths have the power to make the circuit circulate, the air is full, and the momentary kiss is broken, the delusion is pushed back, and the mind and body are easy to contemplate.

After these three breaths, the practitioner sits impassively, empty mind is empty, observes the breath in and out naturally, realizing that the breath is gradually moving from coarse to subtle and slowly entering samadhi. This is not a method of breathing practice, but a method of practicing mindfulness development. Practitioners let go and pay close attention to their breath as much as possible. When you see the delusion that arises, the thought goes wandering, calm down and persistently pull the mind to the law of the breath of the mind, which consists of three steps:

Dharma transfer means: focus on thoughts on the road, ie between the eyebrows. Breathe in, recite "Nam"; put thought into the middle of the chest, reciting "Tissue"; continue to bring the breath down to fill, under the three-inch navel, recite "A". Here, begin to exhale, recite "Di", transfer thoughts back to the middle of the chest, recite "Da", then move back and forth between the road, reciting "Buddha". 
Just practice like that in order to take care of the mind. In the case of not being able to focus on mindfulness, it is possible to combine mindfulness and count numbers from 1 to 10 and to 100, without forgetting or confused, if forgotten or confused, count again from the beginning.

Dharma thing: the practice of contemplating the breath and applying the thought up and down is the method that helps the circuit to be circulated, the spirit of clarity and delusion is eradicated, the marriage disappears. When thought was concentrated and breathing was light. Practitioners breathe naturally and bring thoughtful concentration to the knitting (under the three-inch navel). Breathing nostalgically "Nam Mo A", exhaling "Amitabha Buddha." No need to count. When the mind is calm, the practitioner lets go without mindfulness, that is, to attain the state of non-mindfulness, to enter into a meditation called a "Bliss of the Bliss".
Dharma extermination: the breath is slowly gradual, so light that it seems that the breath is gone, but the mind is still aware of the gentle vibration under the tip of the nose on the tip of the middle. At that time all pores were opened, the whole body cool. The nostrils are open, you can hear the rattles inside. The mind is blissed in a state of calmness, entering into the second meditation called the "Divine birth." 
c. Mind:

When you achieve the joy in the state of peace, the practitioner becomes more attentive. When samadhi is deepened, one can experience many different extraordinary experiences such as seeing light, miraculous images, hearing sounds ... Buddha's nouns call all these extraordinary experiences to be "pressed." meditation. ” It is a sign that the mind has reached a higher level. Body and mind at that time felt the lost life that the Saints called "Ly Hy Lac marvel", and witnessed the third meditation. However, the miraculousness in these meditative realms is just a stop, the Sutra Sutra calls this a transformation on the way back to the senses. Therefore, the practitioner only pauses to contemplate and then let go, and keeps his mind completely pure, awake, attentive, and dwells in the fourth meditation, called "pure mindfulness".

Here, body and mind become easy to use, practitioners can choose to focus on practice in two ways:

The first way: can focus on "the four planes" and the development attains "the Five Precepts" and then enter "Kill the life of destiny"; Pali sutras call this the ninth meditation, have the power to eradicate all contraband or, to attain the realization of Piracy, completely liberated, no longer samsara. However, this is a difficult and dangerous path, the practitioner easily falls into a state of no-sign or lost in utopia.

The second way: moving the mind from going to the shop, entering into the five meditation. This is a state of constant and constant mind but with wisdom contemplating, so-called "concentration" or "concentration". Here the practitioner needs to pay close attention to a single small point at the tip of the nose to have a strong force before proceeding to the meditation stage.

3. TUỆ

Meditation wisdom is a method of contemplation to observe the whole body according to the Dharma of satipatthana. In order to practice the four foundations of mindfulness, people who practice meditation need to go through the period of meditation. However, the states themselves are incapable of bringing practitioners to liberation, their function is only a springboard for the development of insight. Therefore, when cultivating practitioners is not aimed at attaining bliss, but focusing on training the mind into an instrument to examine the feelings themselves and the dhammas present within themselves to subtract the contraband or cause suffering.

Satipatthana is the dharma that the Buddha himself practiced and taught, known as insight, according to the four headings: body, feeling, mind, and dhamma.

Body contemplation: is a method of observing the whole body from the top of the head to the head of the toenails, in a certain order, to realize the impurity of the human body. 
Consistent contemplation: when observing the whole body, the practitioner recognizes the different sensations that are emerging on the body to realize that the feelings, whether lost or miserable, are the cause of all suffering.
Mindfulness: when contemplating the sensations that are emerging on the body, one tries to observe the different states of the mind to realize that the mind is impermanent, always dependent and changes according to the changes of feelings . When the feeling of pleasant or pleasant feeling arises, the mind begins to rejoice, clinging to it is called greed. When angry or frustrated with feelings of pain or discomfort, it is the pitch. Sometimes languidly controlling, making the meditator sitting meditating drowsily sleepy; sometimes the practitioner is disturbed or finds an excuse to stand up, sometimes starting up with a mind that suspects the will to practice; all are delusion.
Dharma practice: when observing the state of mind, one tries to realize that the practitioners who take part in the mind are subject to impermanence. The inherent instinct of human beings is to always cling to the feeling of contemplation and reaction to the feeling of suffering, so it is often used by the kamma of greed, anger and ignorance. Therefore a meditator needs to develop the ability to let go to feel that the actions are impermanent and the nature of the dhammas are non-self.
After experiencing the dharma of satipa :hāna: body, feeling, mind, and dhamma, the mind with letting go is aware of the non-self nature of the dhammas. The mind letting go means keeping the mind calm for the karma, as well as the feelings; Whether it is a peanut or a pervert, the same nature is always changing. Therefore, keeping the mind of letting go, not clinging to it does not react to the main methods of achieving the state of freedom between suffering and joy. Achieving this state means achieving dharma, the Pàli sutra is called the dharma, which recognizes its own self-nature. Kinh Thu Lang Nghiem describes this state as "Self-Tanh Responses", also known as "Minh Tam Kien Tanh".

However, the ultimate purpose of meditation practitioners is not only to attain enlightenment, but at the same time to bring this knowledge to the real life to truly emptiness the emptiness. When you are able to completely eliminate emptiness, you actually enter the period of slamming your hand into the market, as Zen Master Trieu Chau Tung Tham confesses: "In addition to the two rice porridge times, you must pray for your believers, you don't start a day. mindfulness ". Not initiating thoughts does not initiate the mind of discrimination against the dhammas.

The old people once taught: "The road is difficult, it is not difficult because the river is separated from the mountain, but it is difficult for the people to be afraid of mountains and rivers"; Also, the practice to achieve liberation from all suffering is a difficult road, but proverbs also have the phrase: "Friendship is all." Therefore, with self-effort, the meditator will transform himself internally towards a peaceful and liberated life. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.10/5/2019.
