Subject: Latihan
Selamat pagi
Maaf mau tanya
Saya adalah siswa yang baru bersarana pada maha guru
Saya mengalami kesulitan dalam berfisualisasi karena keterbatasan sebagai penyandang tunanetra
Mohon saran untuk cara melatih diri sebaiknya bagaimana?
Karena ada yang mengatakan tantra sangat mengharuskan fisualisasi
Terimakasih
Amituofo

Good morning, 早安May I ask, 我可否问，
I'm a new disciple who has just taken refuge in Grandmaster Lu.
我是一个新皈依鲁师尊的弟子。
I find it difficult to visualise since I suffer from blindness (disability).

我发觉观想很难做到，因为我时盲目（残疾）
Would like to ask your guidance on how to cultivate spiritually with this limitation.

想要问问你的指导， 是关于有这样的限制如何灵修。
Because it is said that Tantra requires its practitioner to perform visualisations.

因为，有这样的说法～密法需要行者做观想。
Thank you very much. 非常谢谢。

Latihan kejiwaan, or simply the latihan means "spiritual exercise", or "training of the spirit". This exercise is not thought about, learned or trained for; it is unique for each person and the ability to 'receive' it is passed on by being in the presence of another practicing member at the 'opening'. About twice a week, Subud members go to a local center to participate in a group latihan, men and women separately. The experience takes place in a room or a hall with open space. After a period of sitting quietly, the members are typically asked to stand and relax by a 'helper', who then announces the start of the exercise.
Practitioners are advised to surrender to the Divine and follow 'what arises from within', not expecting anything in advance. One is recommended not to focus on any image or recite any mantra, nor to mix the exercise with other activities like meditation or use of drugs, but simply to intend to surrender to the Divine or the will of God. (The term "God" is used here with a broad and inclusive intention. An individual is at liberty to substitute interpretations that they feel more in tune with.) One is not to pay attention to others in the room, each of whom is doing his or her own latihan.During the exercise, practitioners may find that, in terms of physical and emotional expression, they involuntarily move, make sounds, walk around, dance, jump, skip, laugh, cry or whatever. The experience varies greatly for different people, but the practitioner is always wholly conscious throughout and free to stop the exercise at any time.
Outwardly the exercise often manifests as physical movement and vocal activity that vary greatly both over time and between individuals. It proceeds spontaneously, involving neither teacher nor method, being unstructured except for basic rules relating to group practice.
Personal capacity to engage in latihan the first time, in what is called the "opening", is said to be transmitted by the presence of experienced practitioners. It usually entails an attitude of patience and trust, typically with some preparatory relaxation of thoughts and feelings, and involves the whole human being, not just body, emotions, mind or any other single facet.
It is regarded by practitioners as being of spiritual or of psychological benefit, depending on personal interpretation and individual experience though apparently it does not affect all practitioners and may affect some detrimentally. Many practitioners see latihan as a way of direct access to a mystical experience that is compatible with a busy modern lifestyle.
Accounts of first encounters with latihan are found in the anthology Antidote: Experience of a Spiritual Energy (1998) by anthropologist and Subud member Salamah Pope.
Thank you very much. 非常谢谢。
