Q1: What should we understand the meditation from
Buddha?
A1:
When we meditate, we still our mind. It’s during this state that we are
closes to the Buddha in us or our Creation. The essence of meditation is that
we will be attune to our Creator and have wisdom. Buddha discovered that HIS
blissful life as a prince and HIS sufferings as an ascetic didn’t bring HIM Enlightenment. That is why HE propounded the middle way. It’s a pity this true essence
of HIS discovery is rarely being taught in dharma’s classes nowadays.
Meditation will make you close to Buddha in you. When Buddha
finally still HIS mind and release HIS attachment of attaining enlightenment
that HE achieved the perfect truth and realization hence Enlightenment.
Q2: If meditation don’t have any beneficial for
me, what should I do? I do feel emptiness.
A2: Buddhism
is a philosophy and guidance to be a wise and better person. Apply and practice
it to be successful and happier in our daily life and interaction with
ourselves and others. The realization is the true essence of all that is here
in this world of false teachings and our very five senses. The Essence of Truth and Realization is what Buddha is trying to tell you. It’s not about chanting, meditating,
and praying. A daily kind wise deed
irregardless to people, animals or environment is more beneficial than all the
rituals that we do in a day. Realization is what Buddha really wants us Buddhist to be, progressive
and advancement in this technology world.
Meditation is beneficial if one wants to do it for recharging, calming, and distressing or even finding solutions to challenges or problems. It's not beneficial if one does it to seek Nibbana. Religion is like a bonus or spices in life. Human can live without it too.
(Please free to ask any question pertaining spirituality and i will try to answer as soon as possible)
Karma is a state of a
belief in a faith and faith can be very blind as you notice the turmoil around
the World cause by faith. Would you say it’s because of religions there is
karma or because of karma there are religions in which conflicts arises even
among itself. A person being blind, is it karma or circumstances? When one is suffering
from any circumstances, whether physical or mentally, the anguish soul is been
nurtured, learn and grow from the experience, in which one choose to overcome
it or detach from it, hence becoming a better person. This is where the Buddha and Enlightened Beings always
remind us, be mindfulness. You become and attract what you think. You are
what you are today because of what you thought of in the past.
