The Key Point of Meditation. Meditation is well known as an essential Buddhist practice that will ultimately lead to the highest attainment. There are many different types of meditation and meditation techniques; so how does one know how to practice correctly and discern the key point of meditation? The Key Point of Meditation While practicing meditation, it is not enough to simply rest the mind. The key and purpose of meditation is to realize the nature of mind, whether it’s abiding calmly or generating thoughts. In the bookStages of Meditation,it says that the nature of mind is emptiness. How so? It cannot be found either in the past, present or future. Also, the nature of mind is empty like space. From this perspective, it is also devoid of intrinsic existence. Failing to understand that the nature of mind is empty and self-liberated causes many practitioners to stray onto a wrong path. There is a frequently quoted saying by practitioners in Tibetan Buddhism: “Knowing only meditation, but not knowing liberation”. It means if we only meditate blindly, but do not know the nature of the mind is self-liberated, such meditation is no different from that of the gods in the four dhyanas, or four spheres of perception, which still does not transcend the realm of samsara. Many people are proud that their minds can abide in stillness for a long time. Others are pleased with themselves when they are always aware of their thoughts. Neither of these points to a high state of realization.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.17/2/2022.

BUDDHA"S CHILDHOOD.

The Buddha, literally translated as the awakened one or the enlightened one, is the being who has found a way to end the suffering of all the living beings in existence. The philosophy of Buddhism came into existence after one man attained enlightenment and sought out to spread the knowledge of peace, compassion and generosity among the people around 2600 years ago. This man, known as Shakyamuni Buddha, is an historical figure, hence termed as the historical Buddha. The story of Shakyamuni Buddha is an extraordinary story, where he is born in a noble royal family only to renounce his princehood to find a way to end the suffering of life.
