Yuan Hui Cultivation: What should I do if I encounter a bottleneck after meditating for an hour? There is no way to extend the time of meditation
1, and to extend the time of meditation
Nowadays, there is an explosion of information in society, people are not old, and many people have no patience. It is not easy to meditate for an hour!
However, when it comes to an hour, we should extend the meditation time as much as possible. Because some deeper states of concentration usually occur after four hours.
So, how to improve, the first point is to extend your meditation time, preferably to more than four hours.
2, choose a method
Many contents of our traditional Chinese culture actually talk about meditation. However, according to Yuan Hui’s observations over the years, the most detailed and systematic theory of meditation may be our Zen culture.
Yuanhui here suggests that you should choose a method that suits you in the samatha and vipassana part of Zen culture, and then practice it seriously, and you will be able to make rapid progress.
Some people may meditate by reciting certain sentences, visualizing certain words, or observing their own breathing. Some people use the Zen method of getting rid of thoughts and letting their three worlds be empty. Some people may observe the sounds around them and use their ears to practice. There are many methods like
. No matter how you find a method that suits you, and then go deeper, you will definitely achieve something.
3, taking the law as the law
Meditation is actually a tool on the way forward, a ferry for us to cross the river. The true practice of kung fu lies in walking, standing, sitting and lying down, but meditation is a method that cannot be ignored.
Once we can make a film in the later stage, once we can walk on the shore, we can put this ferry down temporarily and only need to use it when it is time to use it.
So, meditation is not a destination for us, it is a tool, a process, and a scenery during the journey.
is not obsessed with the form of meditation. Walking, standing, sitting and lying are all the same, but the knowledge of body shape is different. This situation requires a higher level of effort on our part, which few people can achieve.
Therefore, we must deal with the situation accordingly according to our own xinxing. It depends on whether you want to choose a specific method, a method that treats the impossible as a method, or a combination of both.
