Observe Breathing

Observe the breath, cultivate clear awareness, be aware and then calm, so as to gain insight into the reality of impermanence, detach from greed, anger and ignorance, break the boundaries between self and others, realize that I am one with all living beings, and develop compassion.

It can be studied as an introductory book on meditation. It is always good to teach people to be kind. However, Buddhism does not just teach people to be kind, but also teaches people to let go of purity and naturally be liberated!

Some Buddhist books and some domestic teachings are either based on the shell of psychology and management, or they are wrapped in famous sentences. They seem to make sense, but it is not clear how to do it specifically. If you think of spiritual practice as a journey, before embarking on the journey, you probably need to know the destination, the way to get there, the difficulties you may encounter, and the methods to solve the problems, etc. Reading this book helped me understand what sitting meditation and walking meditation are, and how to sit and walk. In addition, the explanation of the four immeasurable minds is also easy to understand. Everyone has the four immeasurable minds, just like when a mother has a child, she unconditionally thinks well of her child (loving kindness). The child's pain is like your own pain, and you want to get rid of the pain (compassion). The child's happy things make you feel happy (joy). When the child grows up and wants to leave, you do not hinder it and let him be independent (equanimity). Therefore, the four immeasurable minds are the instincts of animals, but some people are covered or have insufficient strength.

The thoughts that arise in your mind are neither good nor bad. You just need to observe them objectively as they arise and disappear. Only those who are kind to themselves without resisting, controlling, or blaming can be kind to others. Seeing, accepting, letting go, with the power of mindfulness - the theory seems to be understood, and the next step is practical practice. I wonder if I can be a little more diligent? But no matter what, this is a good book. It seems boring, but it has a special attraction that made me read it in a few days.

After reading this book, I finally know what mindfulness is. I originally thought that mindfulness was correct thoughts, thoughts that were in line with people's common values. Now I know that mindfulness is observation without judgment, unbiased awareness, and pure and untainted awareness in the moment. I learned that anger cannot quell anger, anger can only cause greater anger, and only love can calm anger. Purify the soul and let kindness become a part of our life and a habit. The power of kindness is incredible. With kindness, we can live and get along harmoniously with others; with kindness, we can sincerely appreciate the success of others; with kindness, we will not be hurt by anger and jealousy; with kindness, we not only make the people around us happier, but also make our own lives more peaceful and happy. The power of love is as boundless as the brilliance of the sun. Thanks master! Thanks tomatoes!

Suddenly I felt that it was appropriate for me to watch it before going to bed to help me sleep.

We breathe every moment. Breathing is unconscious, easy and does not require thinking, and is not even noticed. Breathing can also be conscious, with observation and feeling. Taking breathing as the entry point, focus on breathing, let our thoughts running around focus on the feeling of the nose, feel the breath coming in and out, and we communicate with the outside world here. You will find that this is very difficult. If we do nothing, think nothing, look at nothing, just sit quietly, it will make people uncomfortable and crazy. Our thoughts can't stop for a moment. Sometimes we fall into memories of the past, and sometimes we fantasize about the future. We have 800 thoughts a minute, but we don't stay in the present moment. We don't feel that we are just sitting quietly. Observing breathing is a door for us to enter the heart and a way of meditation. When everything stops and you only feel yourself in the present moment, your emotions and thoughts will stop. Our heart is like a glass of water muddied by the chaotic world. We do nothing but calm down, examine and settle. Time will make it clear. From the outside, we are just sitting there, as if no problem has been solved, but our hearts are quietly changing. This clear heart is the essence that makes us capable of facing any problem. Everything that happens to you exists in your heart in some psychological or emotional form, but you are not aware of it, but it will affect your subconscious and thus affect the way you behave. The purpose of our meditation is to understand and accept new ways of feeling, cultivate new mental habits and conscious thinking, and innovate our cognitive experience of life. I hope that from now on we will only eat, sleep just sleep, play just play, and work just work.

Easy to understand and worth reading.

"Meditation is not an escape, but a face. It does not require you to leave this world, but it requires you to enter this world more deeply and see its true face. When you see it clearly, you will find that liberation has always been here, in every moment of breathing."

How to do it specifically? There are three more points that need to be added. 1. Frown slightly at both ends of your eyebrows near the center of your eyebrows. Imagine you are Lin Daiyu 2. Breathe through the mouth and nose at the same time. If you don't understand, you can breathe through the nose first, and then slowly put down the tongue blocking the soft palate. It is normal to make a sound. At this time, you will definitely be able to smile, and effortlessly. This is the purpose of the first two steps. 3 The third step is to go to Station B to find ways to make your eyes bigger. You don't need to have big eyes. While training the orbicularis oculi and related eye muscles, you also have to learn from Tony Leung's eyes, the kind of affectionate look in the toilet. After completing these three steps, you can make it easier to accept the content in the book and practice it. By the way, if your mood is still at a low point... But then again, as long as you are still meditating, you are far from failure. Do you have a lot of nostalgia in your mind? Why not try to find the good things when you find yourself missing, and find the good thoughts in any moment no matter how small they are. For example, I am now trying to help people who read this book get more gains, so kind (don't add "I"), so loving, so beautiful, so shy, so warm, so happy, so confused, It's so grand... Everything, both good and bad, must be meticulous, but there is no need to force it. Relax. The first three steps are just to let you relax. There is no sorrow, no oppression, no purpose. Being happy is a day and a day is unhappy. Come on, meditators, meditating souls, the flower of compassion is happy and eternal. Eternity here is actually impermanent, hehe. Only by being compassionate to yourself can compassion for others arise spontaneously. When arrogance evaporates, so does hostility. I wish you all a smooth life, good health, smooth work, good luck, joy in your doors, good luck in your soul, and enjoy the food in this world! ! ! By the way, you can say hello to people passing by, just look them in the eyes with admiration. People are still quite shy, so say hello to those who have eye contact. Grab a good friend and follow the three steps above. When you feel tired, just use your eyes. Greetings are also appropriate. When you face difficulties with others and are unable to take immediate action, don't be anxious or blame yourself. Just practice hard. As long as you are still meditating, you are far from failure. Like me, I feel bitter when I think about my previous study life. If I want to continue I don't have much confidence in it, but be clear that it is a conceptual reaction. Be aware of it and it will slowly disappear, or tell others what you have discovered. I told my aunt that these thoughts are essentially nostalgia. What is real and what is imaginary? Face the truth , it has nothing good or bad, and you, or I, everyone, have the ability to express compassion towards all things, people, animals, viviparous, oviparous, plants, stones, filthy things, but you don't need to think about anything, just look at Tony Leung Chiu-wai's eyes and that's enough. I would be honored if it helped you. Hey hey😊

A very good book! Easy to understand! Explain the profound things in a simple way. There is no need to believe in Buddhism, and there is no need to read obscure Buddhist scriptures. It can be called a good medicine to heal the soul! It can open the door to a new world for you!

Kind, pleasant, and gentle

After reading this, I feel that I can stabilize my emotions, and sometimes I can achieve the effect of no thoughts. Sometimes I can't control my emotions well, and I need to continue to practice. Thank you, the author, for letting me read this book.

The four treatises on Bodhidharma provide a concise outline of the principles and practices. The six cultivation methods of the Surangama Sutra are practice methods that can be chosen. However, without a master to teach you, you still don't know very clearly how to practice. This book is a master's step-by-step guide to practice. The details, especially observing a certain point of breathing in and out, are small and practical techniques. Although there is not much space to write about how to practice it, it is indeed practical and very helpful. Even if I am practicing the method of observing the sound, reading it is still very helpful! Thanks to all the masters and brothers who wrote the book and translated it!

Mr. Ben has bought this product for at least ten years. He recommended it to me several times but I didn't even bother to look at it. I can only say that the encounter between people and books is just like the encounter between people by chance. Recently, I have become deeply aware of the importance of practical practice, and I have gained some insights into the truth, mindfulness and compassion. Suddenly I encountered this book again, and I felt a sense of encounter and enlightenment. I don't want to write a summary or reflection, I just recommend you to read and practice it.

The explanation and elaboration of meditation in this book are very detailed, enabling beginners to understand the direction and feel at ease mentally. It is a great guide for both beginners and those who are practicing meditation! Many thanks to the author and teacher for their hard work! !

The writing is super good and very suitable for people who have just started learning mindfulness. The book details what problems they will face and how to solve them.

Clear the clouds and see the blue sky, and directly convey some of the true meaning of Buddhism to the world. The merits are immeasurable!

Any practice is inseparable from awareness and awareness of the present moment. Without the company of awareness, all practices are either suppression, delusion, attachment, emptiness or existence.

Very good, let me understand my behavior more clearly. Compassion is the beginning of resolving conflicts

It is well written but difficult to do. Only Buddhists and Taoists can do this.

It is very suitable for people who want to practice practice to study carefully.

Go deep into yourself, breathe with awareness, a good book worth reading

Very good. I had already started practicing mindfulness before reading this book. Some of the knowledge in the book further solved my confusion. It is a very practical book.

Very good, it is a book about spiritual practice.

Salute to the classics, the guiding light

The core of Vipassana Zen is mindfulness. The method is to clear the mind, calm the energy and concentrate the mind, and achieve mindfulness through awareness and breathing.

The experience of life lies in flow, and in the flow, one can experience impermanence, suffering, and selflessness.
