Chapter 153 On-site Teaching Loving-kindness Meditation Part 1
Chapter 153: On-site teaching of loving-kindness meditation (Part 1 of the second update)
Yan Zixiu said: "From the psychology of traditional Chinese medicine, righteousness exists within the body, and evil cannot interfere with it. Where evil gathers, its qi will be deficient. Therefore, the first step is to cultivate righteousness."
Xiao Wu asked: "What is righteousness?"
"What is not evil is righteousness. For example, Confucianism talks about the four righteousnesses. If you are worried, you will not be righteous. If you are fearful, you will not be righteous. If you are happy, you will not be righteous. If you are angry, you will not be righteous.
The opposite is the Four Uprightnesses: calmness, confidence, calmness, and peace.”
Secretary-General Lei Chun said: "Worry, fear, and anger are easier to understand. These will affect the peace of mind. How can this 'happy' be incorrect? Don't people all have legitimate interests and hobbies?"
"Brother Lei, that's a good question. I really need to clarify. This pleasure refers to indulging in sensual enjoyment, not a legitimate hobby."
"Then I understand, please continue." Lei Chun said.
"The cold virus attacks the respiratory system, which corresponds to the lungs among the five internal organs according to traditional Chinese medicine. From the perspective of the seven emotions that cause disease, sadness is the most harmful to the lungs. Therefore, if you are worried and pessimistic, you should resolve it in time and cultivate an optimistic attitude.
"
Lao Ma said: "I'm afraid this won't be easy. Many people like to think about bad things when encountering problems. This has become a fixed pattern."
Yan Zixiu nodded: "It is not easy for ordinary people. However, if you practice loving-kindness meditation in a targeted manner, it is still very effective in changing the pessimistic mode."
"Metta Meditation?" This is the first time for everyone to hear it, and it feels very novel.
"Yes." Yan Zixiu now has some experience in loving-kindness Samadhi, "loving-kindness meditation is not complicated. I will introduce you to a simplified version of the operation."
Lao Ma quickly took out his notepad and recorded it.
"The first step is to sit naturally and relax in a quiet environment during your free time. Lying down or standing is also acceptable. Sitting is the best."
"Then observe that your body is composed of six hundred billion billion atoms. The space inside each atom is also very vast."
Xiao Wu was surprised: "There are so many atoms in the body?! Why do we need to observe it like this?"
Yan Zixiu explained: "So many atoms have been scientifically calculated. Such observation is called space analysis, and its purpose is to get rid of attachment to the body so that we can proceed to the next step of meditation. Because we always feel that the body is real
and stable and unchanging, without knowing that the body is empty and changing.
"In addition to observing our own body, we also observe that everyone's body is composed of so many empty atoms in the middle. Since it is empty, it can be transformed. Now let's start to imagine that every atom in our body is
It becomes a very vast and very beautiful world.”
"How can an atom become a world?" Boss Lin asked.
"The small and large ones have no real nature, and mustard seeds can absorb Sumeru. In meditation, you have the final say in your world." Yan Zixiu said.
Boss Lin said: "I understand, this is adjusting the spiritual world, so I have the final say."
"Yes. Of course, most people only have the final say in theory. If you really want to transform, you still need to work hard."
"Then how to work hard?"
Yan Zixiu pointed around: "Look, the scenery in this base is not bad. What if it is more than a few hundred acres? What if it is tens of thousands of acres? What if it is thousands of miles, or even the whole world is so beautiful? Or
How about a hundred times a thousand times more beautiful?" Yan Zixiu said, and invisibly released the yellow beam pillow talisman.
Everyone present followed the guidance of his words, and an incomparably vast and wonderful scenery appeared in their hearts.
They seemed to have followed Yan Zixiu into the immortal mansion:
The blue sky is auspicious with clouds, and spiritual birds are flying. The sapphire platform is tall, the precious trees are towering, flowers and plants are everywhere, the breeze is blowing, and the fragrance is refreshing.
There are also the towering white jade tables, the golden steps, the flower-filled fountain square, the clean and wide Mingguang Avenue. The well-proportioned Qiong Towers and Jade Houses, the clear and transparent Jinsha Jade River, the broken jade-like waterfalls, and the precious stones.
of lakes...
They couldn't help but enter a hypnotic state, with only Yan Zixiu's voice in their ears:
"A world is so vast, wonderful, peaceful and peaceful, let alone six hundred billion billions of solemn worlds? So our hearts are extremely rich and full of goodwill. We invite the east, south, west and north
, all the people above and below came to our world as guests. As soon as they arrived here, they all
Become young, healthy, beautiful, happy, no one is unfriendly, no one is unhappy. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are everything you need. Study and entertainment, everything is satisfied. You want to socialize, and you want to be alone. Everyone can do it according to their own needs.
Interests, either to create beauty, or to help others, or to practice quietly..."
"Those viruses and bacteria have all turned into nutrients and beautiful flowers..."
…
Yan Zixiu let everyone immerse themselves in it for a while, then took back the Huangliang Dream Talisman and gently snapped his fingers: "Okay. Everyone gently opened their eyes, rubbed their hands, and rubbed their faces. Our compassion meditation has come to an end for the time being.
.”
"Ah~ this is wonderful." "It's so comfortable." "I seem to have had a sweet dream."
Everyone praised and sighed.
Dean Xie asked: "Is this compassion meditation? It's great. The body and mind are so comfortable, and the body's immune repair ability will be greatly improved. Those who are not affected can be avoided, and those who are affected will recover quickly."
Yan Zixiu replied: "Yes. A good mood is better than a hundred medicines. Although this is a simplified operation of loving-kindness meditation, it is enough for the general public."
Lao Ma Mingwu: "I know why loving-kindness meditation can cultivate an optimistic attitude. Because practicing loving-kindness is to visualize from the standpoint after all problems have been solved. The sick people have met a good doctor, and the hungry and cold people have been healed.
Food and clothing. Since everything has a bright ending, why worry too much during the process?"
Lei Chun admired Lao Ma's understanding: "Director Ma's words are really good. But I have two confusions, and I would like to ask Brother Yan for advice."
"Brother Lei, you're welcome."
"One question is, when meditating on loving-kindness, what should I do with those people I don't like, hate, and don't want to invite them as guests? And how can I invite those heinous bad people willingly?"
"This is indeed a difficult point, and Brother Lei sees it very accurately." Yan Zixiu recalled the content of "Cultivation of Compassion" and there was a special guidance text on this issue, "There is a conceptual adjustment. From the perspective of Huayan philosophy
, thoughts and tribulations are blended together.”
"What is the fusion of thoughts and calamities?" Everyone heard another new concept.
"Have you ever heard of Huang Liang's dream? In just one meal, Lu Dongbin lived his whole life." Yan Zixiu looked at Boss Lin. In the process of helping Boss Du, Boss Lin saw Huang Liang Zhen with his own eyes.
The power of the talisman.
Boss Lin nodded in approval.
"I've heard of it," Lei Chun said.
"A lifetime can be integrated into the time of a meal. Then to go further, a time as long as a kalpa can be shortened into a thought, and a time as short as a thought can be extended into a kalpa. This is the fusion of thoughts and kalpas. In loving-kindness meditation, we
If you invite the other person with one thought, no matter what the other person's current situation is, you can complete a long practice in this thought and become a friendly and sunny person. Then wouldn't you be willing to invite?" Yan Zixiu explained Hua Yan's relevant concepts in vernacular.
Everyone explained it.
"So wise." Lei Chun gave a thumbs up sincerely.
"Brother Lei is overrated. I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants. Don't you have two confusions? What is the other one?"
