- What Meditation Did the Buddha Practice to Achieve Enlightenment?

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).
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.
Words are not “that” but if you believe in words, it is “that”. Do you get it? There’s nothing else.
One's goal is to end suffering. Buddha knows how.
The Buddha did not "invent" either Jhana nor Vipassana. Also, Sanskrit was not a "literally" language, because there was no written script, that would not develop in India until 3 centuries after the Buddha.
Western jokers explaining about meditation .... what a classic joke 😂😂
Buddha said its his child hood skills. He was also a shambala student. What made him stabilised was the middle path via his inner state that he had in his early child days. Neither overly focused nor poorly focused. It's samana. Means he doesn't need to focus to stay in enlightened state but easy come by with his childhood skills. Vipasana mindfulness etc don't work if focused or forced to do so. Poojas mantras prayer's did not work much there except his childhood skills. Be like children and a child so that you can ascend and stay at oneness or enlightened state. Enlightenment is not a new state but every child has gone through but forgot those early years. Now after becoming adults they look for something new state, is a joke. Or they seek in books or religions or gurus. All are jokes because you must be a child to be enlightened.
introduced a new meditation technique, lol... okay that's false.
Lot of repetition and use of certain words over and over does not make this a good vide. You are also mispronouncing the words
Buddha just repackages the Samkhya Philosophy and deliver it to the masses.
Except... Enlightenment is not an achievement but a realization? It is our essential nature.
What a beautiful and important video, thanks you! One of the most important parts: "Right concentration does not focus on a single object or scene." When you discover this "right concentration" you will experience such freedom that rarely anyone here can find... This can be achieved by slowly releasing and letting be as it is your body, your mind, and your heart. Find a teacher that knows about this sequence and you will progress in the right direction. Tip - look for the Theravada masters. Stay away from those teaching that jhana should come first, then you exit it and use vipassana. They took a wrong turn. Ultimate wisdom arrives together with full freedom from your body, mind and heart. You will experience and understand these words: When everything drops way, what remains is reality. "
The gift Lord Buddha gave was far more than Vipassana.
The world needs to hear the good Dharma.
