Bring The Right Energy Into Your World
Where you understand there is no-self, you might ask what are you here for. The answer is simple - you are not here to be miserable!
We enter into life without setting Terms and Conditions, that's why we were happy and easy-going as kids. As adults, we need to learn to drop all the self-imposed T&C.
修行 means the cultivation of the action - Cultivation of letting go, peace, joy and wisdom.

Habit Energies
zhlédnutí 71Před 3 měsíci
The cultivation of meditation is to understand and reduce our habit energies, which prevents asava (inflow / outflow of the mind). The less habit energies and asava,, the less the mind gets stirred. Contemplation and reflections are not meditation. They are, in fact, mental distractions caused by habit energies.

    Good day DK (or Ajarn DK, which one would you prefer 👋🏻🤲🏻). Would you mind sharing a short katha that can be used universally & generally when we pray or meditate towards any Ruesi figurine? I came across "Ohm Lek Lur Lek Lur, Namapakawa, Itihli Cakpatanang, Mahalapang, Ahang Wantami, Namo Puttaya." Is this correct? I've recently got into learning more about the Ruesi tradition & school of thought - please don't mind me I'm an absolute beginner. Many thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge on your journey.

(2) what should a yogi do to maintain or lengthen the state of jhana in order the contemplate dukkha anicca and Anita? (3) at what stage or what are the signs that a yogi is ready to proceed to the second jhana? And if so, what practice method a yogi should observe to drop the first factor of jhana ( vitaka) and go direct to the second factor of jhana (vicara )? 🙏🙏🙏

      1. The recitation of their kathas 2. Meditation on the breath (I won’t recommend and kasina or visualisation unless you received specific instructions from a master) Vegetarianism and fasting is a personal choice and isn’t part of the prerequisites or aspirations for following the Lersi path. That being said, going vegetarian and fasting are very good for the physical health, which in terms allow the body and mind to feel lighter which will enhance one’s spiritual cultivation. Regarding fasting, it’s best to not overdo it. You can research online on how to have a fasting regimen (pre-fast, fasting period, break fast period).
