For example, some people practice Buddhist practice by chanting mantras, and some people practice it through Haichaoyin. What is the principle behind this? First, we always like to talk to ourselves. For example, if someone beats or scolds you, sometimes although you don’t say it

How to use sound to achieve meditation? For example, some people realize it by chanting mantras and reciting the Buddha's name, and some people realize it by chanting the sound of waves. What is the principle behind this?

First, we always like to talk to ourselves. For example, if someone hits or scolds you, sometimes even though you don’t say it with your mouth, you will definitely think about it, defend it, and even greet the other person’s ancestors in your heart. It's the same when we meditate in and . On the surface, you don't say anything, but when you sit there, you keep talking and thinking in your heart. And what you think in your mind is not conducive to empirical evidence. What to do? We need to transform the voice in our hearts.

For example, when chanting a mantra, we have no idea what the mantra means, and we don’t need to think about what it means. Because as soon as you use logical thinking, your thinking becomes complicated again, which is not conducive to empirical evidence. So how do you recite the incantation? For example, the six-character Great Ming Mantra. You don't need to think about what it means, just recite it. You usually recite mantras a lot, and then when you sit there and meditate to practice it, the sound of mantras will automatically appear in your heart. When all that appears in your mind are the sounds of mantras, you will naturally stop thinking randomly and solve your problem of distracting thoughts. Not only can we recite mantras, but we can also recite stones and trees. Because the Big Stone Tree also has simple content, as long as you experience it, your heart will become simpler. We can not only recite, but also listen, such as listening to the sound of the ocean tide, because it is a simple content with regular ebb and flow, which is helpful for us to realize and enter concentration.

Second, there are emotions behind the sounds. Mantras are the sounds of a high-level state of concentration. If you recite them often, they will be able to correspond to the state of high-level concentration. Just like when you listen to a song, it doesn't feel like anything the first time you listen to it, but if you listen to it repeatedly and listen to it more, you will be able to integrate into the emotion behind the song. Sounds like mantras and chants are filled with compassion. If you recite them too often, your heart will respond and become softer. This is conducive to the realization of meditation. Of course, just thinking is not enough; we must meditate in conjunction with actual practice. Why? Because we close our eyes and don't use our bodies when practicing, our thinking, that is, our hearts, will not be seen by our eyes. Only by being disturbed by the touch of our bodies can we adjust our hearts to a higher level of thinking. What is the evidence of

? It’s the process of adjusting our thinking. When we use sound to realize reality, we use sound to adjust our thinking, achieve concentration, and finally return to Tathagatagarbha. There are many empirical methods. As long as they can adjust our thinking and allow us to enter concentration, there will be no problem. Okay, I’m Zhang Yuefeng.
