In the test also found a lot of previous code resistance, do not understand why some people can be so irresponsible, not to go to the scene of the problem to be forced to work overtime change ... Calm down or must learn to be strict with themselves, tolerant of others. Surrender to the present and be the best of yourself.

"Learning how to focus can make our hearts strong, clear and calm, focus can protect our inner wisdom, like the flame of a candle is sheltered, not blown out by the wind."

"We can use almost anything to practice concentration. There are two ways to strengthen a focused Buddhist training: inward and outward. Inward method is to focus on your own body, for example, to think of the body as a Buddha Bodhisattva or a skeleton, or to focus on body components such as breathing, or to imagine the body as a pure light or joy; the outward method is to focus on the Buddha, the Buddha State Pure Land or other views, the experienced Zen people sometimes think of a narrow pipe, Use your imagination to see through the tubes and hone their focus. Another approach is to focus on a single small point, rather than a larger image.

"The first step in developing focus is to settle our scattered hearts. ”

Maintaining mindfulness is an important means of gaining concentration-

"In Buddhism, awareness of what is happening in the present is called ' mindfulness '. In daily life, mindfulness is a watchful heart, which is aware of every aspect of what is happening and what should be done, and in meditation, mindfulness is the full focus of ourselves on breathing or any other dharma.

Mindfulness is being absorbed in the present, not worrying about the past or the future. We are always worrying, thinking about what might happen tomorrow.

"What Buddhism emphasizes is the present moment." We can lead our hearts to live in the present moment. To achieve this, we need to firmly build a habit of focusing all our attention on what is being done. Whatever you do, we have to deliberately get rid of other ideas, feelings, and activities to focus on what we are doing now.

"Keep mindfulness, the heart is relaxed and serene, so you can be acutely aware of the true nature of everything, without the slightest struggle for emotion and concept." However, when we notice that our minds are scattered, we must bring ourselves back to the present and what we are doing with tenderness and firmness. As the heavenly Bodhisattva said: ' The repeated observation of all your physical and mental activities, that is to maintain the only way of mindfulness. What is the benefit of being in a meditation posture if the heart is strung around like a beast and cannot remain focused for a moment?

"With mindfulness and awakening, we will learn how to be patient or take action depending on the needs of the situation, and thus become a transformational energy." The heavenly Bodhisattva said, "When you want to act or speak, first examine your heart, and then, resolutely act as a law; When you feel greed or hatred in your heart, do not act or speak like a wood is not moving. ’

"Mindfulness exercises should not lead to anxiety. If there is really anxiety, maybe it means too much work--clinging to hermetical, we need to relax, don't care about ourselves, completely forget ourselves and lose ourselves in what you do.

"Living in a relaxed and open atmosphere allows us to live in mindfulness and awakening now, our hearts will become more and more stable, no longer like the past always fragmented into scattered thoughts, and frantically chase the past or the future." Soon, our focus will improve and we will find it easier to meditate.

"Learning how to enjoy and live in the present can lead to openness and forgetting all the time." Keeping mindfulness allows us to find peace of mind. ”
