THE YOGA OF BODY, SPEECH AND MIND A MEDIATION INJUTION.
First of all, let me share some principles about meditation with everyone, and then let’s meditate and practice together. Using meditation to change your small world. The meditation method we are going to talk about today is not exclusive to Buddhism. People from other religions, even those who do not believe in any religion, can also try and explore..
Every day, our hearts are in a state of restlessness, anxiety, hope, worry, pessimism, joy, and so on. At this time, it is necessary to calm down and observe one’s own mind. The value of this matter may be more valuable than any wealth..
Most of the people here are very young. It can be said that your youth has just begun, but life is always in a hurry, and perhaps your youth has already passed before you carefully observe it. This is the reality of life, and also the law of life..
Therefore, I really hope that the experience of attending this conference can bring you a better mindset and lifestyle. We cannot change the overall climate of the world, but we can completely change our own small world. Even if the outside world is harsh and the family is violent, your small world can still be very clean. Everyone has this ability..
Over the next hour, I will symbolically share with you some of the meanings and methods of meditation..
Yesterday morning’s meditation, I came to see that you were all meditating and practicing very well. There may be another one the morning after tomorrow, as arranged by the organizing committee..
So what I want to say tonight is that meditation in Tibetan Buddhism is actually a form of yoga. The term “yoga” originated in India and flourished in Tibetan Buddhism after being introduced to Tibet with Buddhism..
Today’s yoga not only refers to the practice in Buddhism, but has also become a sport for people in the world. You may know that in Western countries, there are particularly many people doing yoga; In major cities in China, there are also many yoga studios with various methods and venues for practicing yoga..
Buddhist yoga can be divided into body yoga, language yoga, and mind yoga from three aspects: body yoga, language yoga, and mind yoga..
The sitting posture of many people on site is a form of body yoga, and I see that you are still sitting very well: in a cross legged posture, with both hands forming a fixed seal or a mind resting hand seal. Dingyin is a type of handprint commonly used by Amitabha Buddha in daily life..
The posture of the body is very important. If you understand the principles behind it, you will know that the posture of various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and even saints of various religions when they achieve it can be said to be body yoga. For example, the postures of each Arhat among the five hundred Arhat, the postures of the eight Bodhisattvas, the postures of other saints and religious leaders in the portraits, and even the postures of the silent and angry masters in the Tantrism are actually a way of practice..
To sum up all the postures, the most important one is the “Pilu Seven Dharma Sitting Pose”. Yesterday during meditation, the monk may have told you about it. This sitting posture not only exists in the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, but has been passed down from the era of the previous Buddha, the third statue of the Thousand Buddhas of the Sage and Calamity, the Kasyapa Buddha. At that time, there were five hundred people practicing on the mountain, but they could not attain enlightenment. Later on.
