I had done this before and I 've found that each time your mind is away is bcs it has found a "NEW" mental object, may you begin to think on other things or to be distracted by the pain of your feet. But how can I make my mind stay correctly on the anapanasati mental object area? I mean on...

Yeap, now it works better! But I would like to know the mental object in the anapanasati meditation is to focus on the upper lip area, feeling the entrance and the going of the breathing here. But I can focus on this area, I mean very shortly, and instead of focusing this area I begin to focus on th...

Hello! Can anybody tell me how to overcome torpor and unstable mental object? Well, my mind is clear for the first 40 min and after this period, the mind seems to lose its focus and the mental object becomes very unstable. I can blurry see that "it 's there" but I cannot focus to it, I mea...

Dear all,

Tks a lot for your valuable advice. I'll get back to you when I am back home again. I am on a long trip. Will be back by end December.

See you soon!

Oh, thank you very much!
I am still trying to find a clue for this.
I am helping a friend of mine to translate this sutra and mantra into Spanish. So if you have any news pls let me know.

Denice, thank you so much for your suggestions and also sangyey. I worked on meditation today and by following all the advice you are giving me, I think I am more relaxed although thoughts keep coming up all the time but I think the drowsiness has gone a little bit. But my "awareness" is c...

I don't know... I am just very confused... I heard some of my classmates have the same experience they could feel "shaking" and realize the body is formed by atoms....
As for me, I don't have that deep insight, I just felt the "shakings"....

So, Denice may i ask you, if now I don't experience the "shaking" sensations I used to experience before in vipassana, is it correct? I mean, when I first worked on vipassana, I could feel my body "shake", and I could even feel that all the cells in the body are "moving"...

Hello! Does anybody know the Sanskrit / Pali version of the mantra from the Ullambana Sutra ? The Repaying parents' kindness mantra which is : 南無密利多多婆曳娑訶 (in Chinese) (Na mwo mi li dwo dwo pe ye swo he) But does anyone know the same mantra in Sanskrit or Pali? Tks. :namaste:

Tks for telling me that you like them

Hello, you guys! I learned vipassana last year and just practiced a few times and then gave up. Recently I am taking vipassana all over again, apart from the drowsiness I realize I don't have that "shaking" sensation any more. Is this okay? Am I making a progress or am I loosing my focus???

meiji1, thanks so much for your advice. I'll try it and see how it works!
I tried to think on light but it doesn't work with me, so I'll see how this works!

Thank you so much, sangyey! I'll do the searching on the internet! You know, sometimes I think it requires a teacher for meditation! By the way, the Lam rim Chenmo is what I am reading now. I have just started a few pages. Actually, I was very interested in Tientai and had been studying the Patriarc...

What are the Vairochana's seven point posture ? The first technique I learned was to focus on my breathing, later I was taught to recite a mantra, but this doesn't work with me. So, I learned vipassana. At first vipassana seemed to be very good, but I started to have some reactions in the body and l...

Recently I encounter sleepiness at meditation all the time. I try to do away with sleepiness by meditating on light and focus on my breathing, but this doesn't work out. I even sleep more to alleviate this problem, however it seems to improve in times and worsen in times... Also, my mind is drifting...
