Question 83: WHY DO SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACHIEVED CERTAIN RESULTS IN MEDITATION EVENTUALLY DEVELOP AGE-RELATED ILLNESSES AND SUFFER GREATLY?Answer: When individuals achieve results in meditation, their minds become calm, clear, empty, peaceful, ecstatic, insightful, etc. At this point, they may feel no need to exert much effort and can simply dwell in this state, enjoying a carefree existence. Sometimes, they may even experience bursts of inspiration or a sense of tranquility. However, they often make three fundamental mistakes:- firstly, forgetting the ‘deeply-ingrained ignorance and mistakes’, they may forget that they have not yet attained full enlightenment and that even a clean house is still made of perishable materials, a calm mind is still that of an ordinary person.- secondly, neglecting virtuous actions, they may become less focused on helping others.- thirdly, disregarding the lower abdomen, by focusing their attention on the upper part of the body, they gradually lose their True Yin, leading to the weakening of their internal organs.Accomplished meditation masters have warned their disciples that the most dangerous period is when one begins to see results from their meditation practice. This is when various misconceptions may arise, accompanied by complacency, arrogance, negligence. When experiencing any success in meditation, practitioners have to bitterly repent to overcome these negative states of mind, such as arrogance, laziness, smugness, self-flattering, thought of being free from the Law of Karma, etc. They should also avoid focusing exclusively on the upper part of the body and instead cultivate the True Yin by focusing on the lower abdomen.#Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #LawOfKarma, #CauseAndEffect, #UniversalTruth, #KarmicRetribution, #AxiomaticTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind,
