A group of students is doing a film project with Pure Karma as subject.
While explaining Meditation, I recollected incidences few years back, before I join True Buddha School.
A group of followers attending a 3days & 2 nights Meditation Retreat at a local monastery were dining in and I overheard them complaining that they can't concentrate because of high noise level from the Dining Hall, which is 2 levels below the Hall they are practicing the Meditation in.
Each level is about twice or even more in height that our regular ceilings. Which means the Dining hall is at least about 5 levels down! :)
Hahaha!
On another occasion, followers of the monastery were chatting about some female followers wearing too little. They believe these will affect the stableness and purity of the monks' minds! :)
True Meditation as per Guru & the 6th Zen Patriarch, Hui Neng, is No Thoughts or A Mind Unaffected by Chaotic Thoughts!
Whether a person can TRULY Meditate or not, Actually Depends on the person in question and nothing to do with ANY External Factors! :)
When I was watching, I feel sympathetic to these group who attempted to learn Meditation with Wrong Mindsets.
The worse scenario is that some bragged about how much they paid for attendance of this Retreat!
Yes! Again, Money seems to be brought in and also the Importance of the possession of Money!
So there are people that attended events to Boast abou their Wealth and preen their colorful feathers to create Self Importance!
Well, dear readers, do you think they will be successful at achieving True Meditation?
Cheers all.
