Jhanas meditation

Jhanas meditation is a very subtle matter.Doing meditation is like us going out from city life,and enter into remote life,no body is around us,only our self. In such environment,normally one will recall those things around us. Similarly in meditation.Meditation is to cut off both the external and internal factors ,and look into the world of mind. Our mind normally engages with defilements,making it very difficult to keep calm when meditation.If we try seriously to make it continue,it's much difficult.Only we try to be as an observant in relaxation and without any objective,then the mind will settle down slowly. In the world of mind.There are: Kama-loka,Rupa-loka,Arupa-loka,and Pure existence. Those are the memories recorded by our mind.It remembered the various existences of our past in which where we came from. In Kama-loka Jhana,we experience many wandering thoughts-Many Like and dislikes. In Rupa-loka Jhana,we experience Initail,Sustaine,Joy,Ecstatic bliss (happiness) one after the other . When attain ecstatic joy (happiness),one can remain in meditation for few hours or few days. The importance is the happiness fades down (reduce) before the end of Rupa-loka Jhana In Arupa-loka Jhana,the feeling of happiness is lesser then Rupe-loka Jhana. In Arupa-loka Jhana,our mind sees (perceives)the: Infinite space,Endless space,Nothingness,Perception neither exists nor does not exist. Finally,we clearly see the Pure existence immediately after the Arupa-loka Jhana. But due to our human body is composed of Rupa and Nama.Started from our mind (Nama)perceiving Rupa-loka Jhana till the Pure existence.Our mind is further and further from our body(Rupa). When our mind reaches Pure existence,our body(Rupa)no longer can sustain and support the Mind (Nama) further away.Our nature fights for survival and caused the Fear to arise.As it is a danger to one own existence due to our limitation. The importance is we clearly saw the Pure existence-Our mind knows that-This is Pur existence In Jhana meditation,craving strongly supported and maintenance the strengths of concentration.Craving dominates all levels of existences.Except at the end before the Arup-loka Jhana,And the Pure existence. That mean,the lower the existence,the higher the craving.The higher the existence,lower the craving.The total wiped out of craving leading to exist from Samsara,toward Pure existence,and find the way home. Due to the eradication of craving and the mind calm in the attainment of Jhanas.and our memory no refreshment caused by long time in meditation.One'll feel body very weak,and feel like living in different world after attended the Jhanas. All the difficulties can over come by one self slowly later. From this Jhana meditation,we'll realized that our down-fall, from Pur existence to Arupa-loka,again down-fall to Rupa-loka,reach to Kama-loka(human world),are because of our craving, .This Craving blinds us from one existence down-fall to lower existence . Can we imagine,if we're not relying our own effort to eradicate our Craving,but to look for other external agency to save us? In fact,we are the one who manipulate our own fate and our destiny.No one can help us! May the Buddha,Dhamma,Sangha shine for ever May the supreme knowledge of Dhamma ever enlighten the whole world.

My Mother

My Mother MY mother has many children,but my mother has her mind sets and aims rightly at me all times.She likes to blame me for nothing. The very simple reason is because she mixed up her personal affection and feeling toward me. Environment makes in such a way that I have to discharge my duty toward those surrounding me.Often in return I'm not reserved of what I'm supposed.But trouble keep on besetting me from surrounding.In her eye,I'm in great suffering. Pain sticking in her heart.Seeing the misfortune of my life,beseted by her love at her wits end,she could only blame me for what I done. I saw her,breathlessly blaming me in her old ages,and what she blamed are all in turmoil...... Whatever right or wrong she blamed is not the matter.But I'm sad...I sad to have her involved...I touch to have her blamed(Love).... In her eye,I'm a special people in her family - A helpless,A suffering being since teens. In such environment that I'm an elder son,a breadwinner for family of eight. In her eye of my mother,I'm the one indeed of help from heaven.But I in fate no reserve myself anything in return.I'm grateful and thankful for her blames(Love). In my countless of rebirths,all parents have given me their loves could be like her. Whenever it arises of those parental loves in my heart,I'm touched and aware the existence of all my dear parents's love..What more do I need to have?Beneath under the sky,I need nothing - I don't need anything on earth.All things on earth are not longer important to me.Whatever the personal affection or any failure,mishap in life,those are defilements of delusion by environment and the Karma caused.What I have of what I had are those who do not understand - The forever and the deathless of my parental love,that those countless parents have given and infused.This is an immense love towards all beings. This is the calling of all parental loves that awake my immense love - This is the result of all loves keep on pushing behind,till I recognize it - I found it. I gotten it - The reality,suffice whatever,uni in oneness,supreme whatever in completeness - Our Real State Of Nature - Have you ever seen this place? can you recognize this place? This is the place where we from - Our Home. With this immense love enable me to understand the Buddha Teaching - The Sacred,Supreme,Unsurpassed . Although the Enlightenment far away from me,but I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to those who ever help me and family in one way or other when time of our difficulty. I'm not forget of what people help me in the past.Therefore,I write this article with my purpose of attributing them.May they gain merit,be well and happy.The other purpose is in the hope for those who pursuit the Buddha Teaching,some may find helpful.May all share the merits,free from danger and attain Enlightenment. Hopefully this world we visited,is a place of departure on our journey of enlightenment. May we light up our mind,and light up the mind of others.May they free from suffering... From: A helpless,A suffer being.
