How long does meditation practice last?
In fact, there is no need to care how long it takes to practice taking pictures. You should first care about whether the practice method is correct.

The so-called natural, the right method, enough effort, naturally can be achieved.

The phase acquisition is very close to meditation. If you can keep the phase stability for more than an hour and continue to practice, you will soon see the spirit likeness, that is, you will soon reach meditation.

But after reading your description, you haven't distinguished the difference between taking pictures and repeating them. The dreamland stage in front of me only belongs to the stage of taking pictures repeatedly, so I suspect that you may not have found the right meditation method at all!

Unfortunately, I love meditation, but I have never found the right way.

I suggest you practice it with great ambition. For specific methods, please refer to the Introduction to Shangtai Buddhism. Besides, Ven. Mahinda meditation camp was held in Liuzu Temple on February 5th, 65438. If you are lucky enough to have participated once, you should be able to master the method quickly and achieve certain results.

About meditation

First of all, we should distinguish between Zen phases-making phase, taking phase and imitating phase. Secondly, we should look for distractions, instead of rushing to distinguish ourselves from the first Yi Chan, the second Zen, the third Zen and the fourth Zen.

I haven't seen all the pictures. I've taken photos. They look alike. That's because I didn't even touch the edge of Yi Chan. Forced distinction is only psychological comfort.

According to Southern Buddhism, you should first determine your own practice, such as entering the heart, protecting the heart and so on. For different meditation methods, meditation sessions are inconsistent.

Here, we only describe the idea of entering the workplace. For the idea of entering the workplace, karma is the breath that people pass by.

1, the primary stage of full-body photography: when practicing to a certain stage, light may appear at first, and some meditators will feel as if there is a cloud of pale white light in front of them; Some meditators feel as if there is a layer of white fog hanging over them; Some meditators feel light on their foreheads, eyes or faces. These are the initial stages of the whole stage.

2. Phase-by-phase judgment: when the fixing force increases, a smoky gray light appears near the contact point (person), which is also called "phase-by-phase"; The concentration at this time is called "repeated determination"

3. Phase-taking stage: Pay attention to focusing on phase-taking, and your strength will be improved. At this point, the gray-white light around the contact point will gradually turn white and bright. Some may be as white as cotton and the moon, while others may be as bright as car lights and flashlights. In shape, everyone's is different. Some feel like clouds, some feel like garlands, some feel like lotus flowers, and some feel like wheels ... This meditation is called Ugha Hanimita. The light of taking pictures is brighter than that of taking pictures of the whole body.

4. Similarity stage: When the meditator can calm down and concentrate on taking pictures for an hour, two hours or even longer, he will find that the Zen phase is getting brighter and brighter, some like sunshine, some like the full moon in the night sky, some like spotlights, some like pearls, some like the morning star, and some are crystal clear. This is "similarity".

If the meditator can continue to focus on the image, and the mind and the image are completely integrated for an hour, two hours, three hours or even longer, he is likely to get the first meditation.

Why is it possible? Because it hasn't been checked yet.

If the meditator can concentrate on meditation for two or three hours in a row ... then he will practice checking the points and points in his heart. After he decided, he went to see this place in his heart with a strong light of meditation. When you first learn to check scores, don't check for too long, just a second or two. When he can find out the points, he will learn to identify the five Zen schools one by one at the points.

These five branches of Zen Buddhism are five kinds of mental centers, which are individually called Zen Buddhism branches and collectively called the First Yi Chan.

These five branches of Zen are:

1. vitaka-put your heart in the portrait.

2. Vic à ra)-The mind constantly checks the similarity.

3. hi (p? Ti)-like similarity.

4.sukha- Experience similar happiness.

5. ekaggat à-the mind always focuses on similarity.

Looking up Zen branches does not rely on feelings to figure out whether they have these five psychological functions, but must use the light of Zen to identify the place where the heart is attached. Why? Because the place where the heart depends is the place where the Zen mind depends, it is necessary to identify the Zen branch here.

After you can identify the five branches of Zen, you must also practice the five freedoms of Yi Chan. What are the five freedoms? They are:

1. Turn to freedom: If you decide, you can turn to Zen.

Relax: you can stay at any time.

Stay at home comfortably: you can stay as long as you want.

4. Free decision: You can make a decision at any time.

5. introspection: after the decision, you can examine Zen points.

After successful practice, it can be said that the first meditation has been completely achieved.

Danger 1: possessed.

It should be noted that in this meditation stage, some meditators may see some images, such as mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, the emptiness of the sun and the moon, people, birds and animals, etc. Or hear singing, talking, chanting, chanting and so on. This is because after the concentration is improved, the heart will become strong and sensitive. As long as his heart turns, his heart can make a lot of things and experience a lot of sounds and sounds. His brain turned so fast that he didn't even notice it, but the picture was already in sight. It should be noted that these pictures are born of thoughts, not illusions!

Some people like to practice blindly. When their concentration reaches a certain stage, they usually see light, flowers and even so-called buddhas and bodhisattvas. If he still insists on these forms and pursues these realms at this time, and even thinks that he is very powerful, it is easy to go wrong. Why? Because he has a certain concentration, but his mind is not well oriented, so the so-called "average computer addiction" problem lies here. Therefore, no matter what scene you see or what realm you appear, don't pay attention to it, don't look at it, and don't cling to it! Just remember to keep an eye on the business!

Danger 2: Self-realization of Nirvana

In the near-meditation stage, the meditator experiences falling into something as if everything stopped in an instant, without any reason or even the concept of time and space. When he wakes up, he will think, "Well, how did this happen just now?" This experience is called the "falling point".

However, fall into the trap of meditation. Some people may mistakenly think that they are enlightened or achieve nirvana because they are caught in time-sharing "both possible and possible"
