Many senior brothers have asked this question: "When I meditate, sometimes I feel that my body has lost its weight, and it feels like it is floating up. How is this realm, is it considered high? ”
A: It's extremely common to feel light and lose weight. When you meditate, you feel like this, it's really not a state, it's not a masterful state. But clinging to this as the realm is already a foreign way of knowledge.
Question: "Isn't it enough to meditate like this until the body is floating?" What do you say when you see a Buddha while meditating? ”
Answer: What is the image of a Buddha? When you say that you see a Buddha while meditating, that's just your delusion, your separation, your attachment. You said that you saw the Buddha, may I ask, where did the Buddha come from and how did the Buddha come about? What Buddha do you see? The Buddha has no fixed phase. Who said it was a Buddha? Demons and monsters also fly, they change. It's not even a good thing. But clinging to this as the realm is already a foreign way of knowledge.
Ask: "So what is considered a high realm?" ”
Answer: Go to the bustling crowd, go to the bustling outer world, and practice truthfully! That compassionate heart is not bothered by all people, things, or things. The free heart is not bound by anything external. The heart of wisdom, the heart of purity, is not attracted to all external things. In the face of all inconceivable external circumstances, an equal and pure heart is free from greed and hatred. If you can't do that, then what's the point of your so-called meditation? Hollow meditation is the outer way. The pursuit of the realm is the appearance of the yin demon.
Cultivation is not about pursuing any realm. It's not to show off some self-righteous phenomena. Cultivation is not about attaining anything, much less about satisfying certain desires and curiosities. Cultivation is to give up delusion in order to return to the truth. Remember, if you don't take the vows and practice samadhi, you are demons.
