Buddhist Association of
Canada The First Basic Meditation: The 1st stage of bliss that comes from metta, detachment and freedom from emotional distress (klesas) - This emotional distress includes evil desires (origination, karmic causes) and evil states or conditions (sufferings, retributions), becoming positive view and actions. The 1st stage of bliss also comes from appreciation, equanimity, wisdom… 加拿大佛教會 © 2006 Buddhist Association of Canada
6.
Buddhist Association of
Canada The First Basic Meditation: The first two steps are cognitive states of mind whereas the second two are affective and intuitive. Each state of mind is more sublime than the preceding state. The affective states of mind are subtler than the cognitive states, with contentment being subtler than rejoicing. Only the single mind (one-pointed mind) is in the state of complete concentration. 加拿大佛教會 © 2006 Buddhist Association of Canada

9.
Buddhist Association of
Canada Bhavana Bhāvanā literally means "development"or "cultivating"or "producing" in the sense of "calling into existence." It is an important concept in Buddhist praxis (Patipatti). The word bhavana normally appears in conjunction with another word forming a compound phrase such as citta-bhavana (the cultivation of the heart/mind) or metta-bhavana (the cultivation of lovingkindness). When used on its own bhavana signifies 'spiritual cultivation' generally. 加拿大佛教會 © 2006 Buddhist Association of Canada
10.
Buddhist Association of
Canada Bhavana citta-bhāvanā, translated as "development of consciousness." kāya-bhāvanā, translated as "development of body." mettā-bhāvanā, translated as the "cultivation of loving-kindness.“ paññā-bhāvanā, translated as "development of wisdom“. samādhi-bhāvanā, translated as "development of tranquil-wisdom. samatha-bhāvanā, meaning the development of tranquility.[5] vipassanā-bhāvanā, meaning the development of insight.[5] 加拿大佛教會 © 2006 Buddhist Association of Canada
11.
Buddhist Association of
Canada Parikamma Samadhi Parikamma Bhavana is the stage of doing the preliminary exercises. Some degree of one-pointedness or calmness is reached when radiating metta to the person as one is involved with active recitations, including the initial five stages: Bringing the mind to the object Keeping the mind with the object Finding, having interest in the object Being happy and content with the object Unifying the mind with the object (partially fixing, one-pointedness) 加拿大佛教會 © 2006 Buddhist Association of Canada
12.
Buddhist Association of
Canada Upacara Samadhi When you are very close to the object as if you are very often about to merge with the object. You need to overcome all the hindrances i.e. sleepiness or too much excitement. You need to maintain the flow of metta without affecting by hindrances. Achieve transparent-like concentration about the object. You can also be aware of the nature of this fine object. You start to see the true nature of forms. 加拿大佛教會 © 2006 Buddhist Association of Canada
13.
Buddhist Association of
Canada Appana Samadhi You merge with the object into one. Achieve a special form of consciousness – jhana citta or deep absorption. You are in a state of bliss and is still having metta for the object. Development of Upekkha Bhavana or equanimity after going through 1st stage jhana to 4th stage jhana. Complete happiness and joyfulness. Start to achieve oneness with forms. Development of moment-by-moment appreciation. 加拿大佛教會 © 2006 Buddhist Association of Canada
14.
Buddhist Association of
Canada Factors in Developing Concentration 1. Mindfulness – It brings the mind to the point of concentration skillfully and becomes powerful enough to fall into deep absorption. It guards against defilements and extraneous thoughts. It alerts us to take appropriate action to remedy hindrances. It keeps the mind flexible, workable, soft, balance and so on. It is advisable to practice Satipatthana Meditation to gain a strong grounding of mindfulness. 加拿大佛教會 © 2006 Buddhist Association of Canada
15.
Buddhist Association of
Canada Satipatthana Meditation According to Abhidharmakosa , there are four types of meditation skills to develop mindfulness: (1) Body is untrue and impure (without form), (2) Perception is the cause of pain (senses are also false), (3) Mind is transient (it changes all the time), and (4) Everything is without eternal substance (without me). Practicing each of these meditations at first separately, then together, the adept leads himself to the more advanced stage of meditation. The purpose of these four types of meditation is to keep in mind that these bodily and mental functions have no eternal substance and thus to rid oneself of false views contrary to the contents of these four types of meditation. 加拿大佛教會 © 2006 Buddhist Association of Canada
16.
Buddhist Association of
Canada Factors in Developing Concentration 2. Detachment Right concentration is referred to concentration that detached from the five senses. The meditation object is solely that of the mind door and its concentration is that above the five sense doors. If you have rampant cravings and strong desires for sense pleasures, you can never get near the absorptions. Detachment has the power to remove the bondages that tie us to the undesirable worlds. When metta comes with pleasantness and joy, the detached attitude is an important consideration. 加拿大佛教會 © 2006 Buddhist Association of Canada
