What Meditation Did the Buddha Practice to Achieve Enlightenment?
What Meditation Did the Buddha Practice to Achieve Enlightenment?
#meditation #enlightenment #buddha #Vipassana #jhana
The Buddha introduced a completely new concept of meditation to the world. Before the Buddha, meditation was something you did once or twice a day, for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening, and that was all. The Buddha brought a completely new understanding of the entire meditation process. He stated that the type of meditation you practice for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening, or perhaps four or five times a day, is not very valuable. Meditation cannot be something you separate from life for an hour or fifteen minutes. It must resonate with life, as natural as breathing. You cannot just breathe for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening because if that were the case, the evening would never come. It must be like breathing- even when you are asleep, you breathe. You might be in a coma, but you continue to breathe.
The Buddha stated that meditation must be a constant phenomenon; only then can it transform you. And he introduced a new meditation technique. His greatest contribution to the world was Jhana and Vipassana.Vipassana is a Pali word, the language he often used to speak... because as a prince, he was taught Sanskrit, the language of literature. However, when speaking, he never used this language because it was the language of the clergy and intellectuals, not of the common people. Sanskrit was never a language used for everyday life. It is unique compared to all other languages in the world, used only by the intellectual and scholarly elite; and because it is not understood, not recognized, the masses found it mystical. If translated literally, it means nothing special, even nonsensical, but its sound is full of musicality. It has the most perfect structure among the languages of the world.
But he decided to speak the language of the masses. It was a revolutionary step because the language of the crowd was not grammatically correct. Thanks to being used, thanks to ordinary people changing sounds, tones, the words became easier to use and no longer complicated. Pali is a simple language, and the language of naive, uneducated people. Vipassana is their language.
The literal meaning of the word is "to see," and the metaphorical meaning is "to witness." Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, chose a type of meditation called "mind meditation." All other types of meditation involve witnessing in various ways. The act of witnessing is present as an essential part in every form of meditation and is unavoidable. The Buddha eliminated everything else and retained only the essential: witnessing (the special seeing).

    You have define GOD, The only one God like the Abrahamic religion. Is not seen in the Sanātana Dharma, even putting a one is limiting to the creator. You cannot put a definition, you cannot know it, you can only experience it through yoga & meditation. Till you have that discipline, even talking about the creator will not make a BIG difference in anyone life, just look at history the one who believe they KNOW GOD have done the most horrible things.

    Bertrand Russell has stated his position on the Buddhism and Christianity. But he is paradoxically enigmatic while comparing the giants of the human history. The former was not born but self-created himself as Buddha and the latter was born Jesus and was not created Jesus. The Buddha represented the earthly spirit and Jesus represented the heavenly spirit…

    In Buddhism there is after life. This is according to Buddhist scriptures written by Buddhist Monks. But Buddha never said about reincarnation, rebirth or previous life or after life. Buddha clearly said that no Soul or Karma inside you. He found there is only Knowledge and Intelligence inside you. After the moment of death knowledge and Intelligence will be vanished. Nothing will be remained.

While many catholic/christian groups are trained to say that they hold the single truth, I've come to beliwve that to achieve spiritual progress in our world today we have to explore at least another form of spiritualty, with a sense of awe and respect.

    Origins of sanskrit are unknown. What we know of Sanskrit today was not created until after Buddha. Buddhist scriptures called this language used as Chandas not sanskrit. Sanskrit literally means that which has become refined, in other words the language before was not Sanskrit. There have been no Sanskrit texts or writings found before Buddha by any king.

    Buddha never introduce any meditation method to the people. Buddha found nothing could be achieved by meditating after practicing under many teachers. Then he found the reason for no results of meditation by looking into inside of him. He found human mind never allowed to interfere into mind or Behavior of the mind. Then he found how the mind is created and behavior of the mind. Then he disclosed to the world. This is what is happening in any human being. But nobody could be interfered. Exploration of the mind is impossible. Only what you can do is accept it.

      Meditation and Dhamma are like a raft, how do you take the journey without knowing how to navigate without the raft, yet until you reach the shore, you should leave the raft behind. So for us, the raft is important(meditation is important). Imagine a person fall into a slippery well, by your logic the Buddha only tell him to climb up without giving him the way. Will he be able to climb? The Buddha did give us a rope in a form of meditation (but not the extreme one like the ascetic one), but after one manages to climb up, the rope is no longer needed.

    "Therefore, with the breakup of the body, the fool fares on to [another] body. Faring on to [another] body, he is not freed from birth, aging and death; not freed from sorrow, lamentation, pain, displeausre, and despair; not freed from suffering, I say" (S. ii. 24). The problem now becomes what exactly is faring on, is it the "atman" or something else? I cannot find a single mention in the Pali Nikayas of the self or atman faring on. But there is little doubt that it is consciousness or in Pali viññāṇa [literally, in two parts knowing] that fares on after the death of the physical body insofar as during rebirth it can descend into a mother's womb (Mahānidāna Sutta, DN) according to the Buddha. In another discourse (S. ii. 13) the Buddha says: "The nutriment consciousness is a condition for the production of future renewed existence." At (S. ii. 65) the Buddha says: "When consciousness is established and has some growth, there is the production of future renewed existence."

    Buddha never taught anything to anybody. Buddha explained to the people “what is happening inside their body” that they were not aware of it. That is called “the massage of the Buddha”. This massage spread over south east Asia by the way of telling “the Massage” to his close friend by someone. Person to person by saying the massage to his friend.

    I have a question. What does it feel like to believe in the existence of a god? I am Japanese. In my experience, many Japanese people are non-religious. Funerals are typically conducted in a Buddhist style, but I have never personally adopted a religion and I am curious about what it feels like. In Japan, there are many shrines, and each is believed to house a deity, but this doesn't feel like religion to me. It seems different from religious faith. For example: Ohtani: "I heard you can eat a Big Mac at McDonald's!" Betts: "I want to go to KFC because you can get fried chicken there!" Freeman: "Let's go to Starbucks because you can drink a Frappuccino there." It's like this. Praying to the deity at that shrine gives you a sense of temporarily enhancing your power. In reality, it doesn't actually enhance your power. It feels like getting a temporary power-up effect in a game. However, it doesn't mean you have faith in that deity. It's like going to McDonald's to eat a hamburger or to Starbucks to drink a Frappuccino. Is this Japanese culture considered religion? Or is it not religion? Can someone explain this to me? I'm not joking. I'm seriously asking this question.
