BUDDHISM MEDITATION: BRINGING UP AND CLEARING UP
PREFACE
We are living in a busy and turbulent world, where stress and anxiety easily invade the mind. Meditation, a concept that is no longer strange, has been mentioned in many schools of thought and religions around the world. From the quiet prayer in Christianity, the meditation of Taoism, Sufism of Islam, to Dhyana in Hinduism, each tradition has its own approach.
However, meditation is still known as a characteristic forte of Buddhism, with countless highly enlightened Zen masters, culminating in the Arhats who have attained complete non-self (Anatman). Meditation is not only a method of mental hygiene to relieve stress, but also a beautiful life, especially helping us to eradicate the ego, end ignorance, and attain liberation and enlightenment.
In the Noble Eightfold Path, meditation belongs to the last three parts: Right Endeavor, Right Mindfulness, and Right Ecstasy (from the First Jhana to the Fourth Jhana). The meditation taught by the Buddha is not an easy path, but a great journey, a comprehensive system of practice, requiring the right method encompassing both profound Techniques and Dharma; requiring wisdom, morality, merit, and extraordinary willpower from the practitioner.
This book BUDDHISM MEDITATION: QUESTIONS & ANSWERS was born with the desire to provide a comprehensive and profound view of Buddhist meditation. Through each question and answer, the book leads from basic principles to advanced techniques of meditation, helping practitioners step by step understand all aspects of meditation and move towards effective practical application.
Hopefully, this will be a valuable asset for meditation practitioners. May everyone around the world perfect their morality, accumulate much merit, diligently practice, and achieve complete enlightenment on the long path of meditation.
