Street Meditation

Đọc được trên facebook của Ayya Yeshe, Sư cô viết: “….Peaceful sitting Meditation in the midst of The Christmas rush, just to show that another way is possible…”( Ngồi Thiền an tịnh trên đường phố, giữa mùa giáng sinh với nhiều hối hả, vội vàng là một cách để cho biết rằng vẫn có thể làm được…) Tôi thật sự cảm kích cái nhìn của một người tu sĩ, và là một Sư Cô người Úc, tu theo truyền thống Phật Giáo Mật Tông Tây Tạng, được biết Ayya Yeshe đã từng thực hiện những thời tu tập trên đường phố bận rộn tại New-York City và một vài nơi khác trên thế giới.

Thưa, tôi không nghĩ là mình có thể ngồi Thiền một cách an nhiên được giữa trung tâm thành phố Sydney, và giữa mùa giáng sinh thật sự bận rộn như hôm nay,(21.12.2018) tại 2 địa điểm, 1./ là đường hầm của Trạm xe lửa Central, và 2 là tại Pitt Street Mall -Sydney, nơi đây hàng ngàn người tấp nập lại qua, tiếng hòa nhạc với kèn trống vang rền, người người nói cười náo nhiệt, không khí Giáng Sinh tại Sydney thật sự tưng bừng đúng nghĩa của nó…và tôi chỉ việc theo Ayya Yeshe, ngồi xuống, xếp bằng, và nhắm mắt lại …ngồi thiền…

Mỗi thời khoảng 40 phút trôi qua thật nhanh và êm đềm một cách lạ kỳ, Thiên Ân hôm nay có được ngày nghĩ,đã đi cùng để chụp ảnh và làm Video Clip, nhờ vậy, tôi mới có dịp xem và biết được những gì đã diễn ra thật đẹp của thời tu thiền trên đường phố hôm nay. Xin chia sẻ cùng quý vị và các bạn một số hình ảnh và một video clip ngắn để tin rằng Ayya Yeshe nói đúng: “….Peaceful siting Meditation in the midst of The Christmas rust, just to show that another way is possible…”

I want to talk in depth today about the nature of Buddhism. Very often I read in newspapers and books some strange things that are presented as Buddhism. So here, I will point out the heart of the real Buddhist teaching, not as a theory but as an experience.

At our meditation retreats, yogis practice mindfulness in four different postures. They practice mindfulness when walking, when standing, when sitting, and when lying down. They must sustain mindfulness at all times in whatever position they are in. The primary posture for mindfulness meditation is sitting with legs crossed, but because the human body cannot tolerate this position for many hours without changing, we alternate periods of sitting meditation with periods of walking meditation. Since walking meditation is very important, I would like to discuss its nature, its significance, and the benefits derived from its practice.

The object of Ch'an training is to realize the mind for the perception of (self-) nature, that is to wipe out the impurities which soil the mind so that the fundamental face of self-nature can really be perceived. Impurities are our false thinking and clinging (to things as real). Self-nature is the meritorious characteristic of the Tathagata wisdom which is the same in both Buddhas and living beings.

There are seven basic steps: 1. Start out with three or seven long in-&-out breaths, thinking bud- with the in-breath, and dho with the out. Keep the meditation syllable as long as the breath. 2. Be clearly aware of each in-&-out breath. 3. Observe the breath as it goes in & out, noticing whether it's comfortable or uncomfortable, broad or narrow, obstructed or free-flowing, fast or slow, short or long, warm or cool. If the breath doesn't feel comfortable, change it until it does. For instance, if breathing in long & out long is uncomfortable, try breathing in short & out short. As soon as you find that your breathing feels comfortable, let this comfortable breath sensation spread to the different parts of the body.

Unshakable deliverance of the mind is the highest goal in the Buddha's doctrine. Here, deliverance means: the freeing of the mind from all limitations, fetters, and bonds that tie it to the Wheel of Suffering, to the Circle of Rebirth. It means: the cleansing of the mind of all defilements that mar its purity; the removing of all obstacles that bar its progress from the mundane(lokiya) to the supramundane consciousness (lokuttara-citta), that is, to Arahatship.

The people are members of the Sangha of the Rio Grande Valley, a band of diverse people who meet, not always regularly, to meditate and discuss Eastern thought. Their common thread is Zen meditation and the pursuit of mindfulness. Mindfulness, the shift of focus to the present, is the path to a more peaceful living, members of the group say.

I am quite pleased to follow Rev. Thich Tam Tue after his beautiful lecture last Sunday on Amitabha Buddha. It seems so odd that Pure Land and Zen should be reconciled, since their philosophic basis and their view on life vary so much. But in China, Korea and Vietnam, these two schools did come to form a syncretic, holistic view of Buddhism. And this is the topic that I have chosen to speak on today.

All those who have come to practice Vipassana Meditation want to gain Insight very quickly. Those who have not experienced any Insight yet would like to gain Insight very quickly. Those who have experienced some Insights would like to gain further Insights very quickly. Everyone wants to gain Insights very quickly. To reach these goals, one must first listen very attentively and closely to the "Basic Exercises on Vipassana Meditation" so that one will remember each and every word of the instruction thoroughly when you practice. One must read and study them diligently. Only then will one be able to reach the goal.

I would like to say a few words in introduction about the practice of meditation. Many people throughout the world, in the West as well as the East, are very interested in meditating. They are attracted to this practice and express great interest in it. Yet, of all the many people who engage in meditation, only a few really understand its purpose.

“Mindfulness practice is simple and completely feasible. Just by sitting and doing nothing, we are doing a tremendous amount.” In my last column I discussed why mindfulness is essential to spiritual practice, for no matter what spiritual tradition we follow, we must have a mind that is able to stay in the present moment if our understanding and experience is to deepen. Now I would like to talk about some aspects of the actual mindfulness practice.

Nguyện đem công đức này, trang nghiêm Phật Tịnh Độ, trên đền bốn ơn nặng, dưới cứu khổ ba đường,
nếu có người thấy nghe, đều phát lòng Bồ Đề, hết một báo thân này, sinh qua cõi Cực Lạc.

May the Merit and virtue,accrued from this work, adorn the Buddhas pureland,
Repay the four great kindnesses above, andrelieve the suffering of those on the three paths below,
may those who see or hear of these efforts generates Bodhi Mind, spend their lives devoted to the Buddha Dharma,
the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
