Yuanhui Practice: Does meditation require a high degree of concentration, or does it require a clear mind?
Attention is maintained at a high level of concentration, and the mind is naturally empty.
Why? Because you keep your attention highly focused on one thing, then only this one thing will be in your mind, and all other things will be ignored by you. In this case, compared to the usual distractions, the head is empty.
So is it possible to completely empty the head, even the last thing that concentrates attention?
First of all, it can be done. However, if the thoughts and thoughts are completely emptied and nothing is left, this difficulty is extremely great, and it is also easy to go crooked.
For example, the brain is completely emptied, isn't this state also a state? When you put your mind in this state, aren't you also focusing on something? Therefore, completely emptying the brain thoughts, this difficulty is extremely great, and it is very easy to go crooked.
If you mistakenly think that the concept of emptiness constructed in your mind is the so-called void, over time, people will become stupid and their thinking will become dull. Many people have taken a lot of detours because they don't know this thing, and their memory is getting worse and worse, and they don't know what the reason is.
When I arrived here, I led to a phrase often said in the traditional culture of Chinese culture: "It is better to cling to Mount Meru than to cling to the empty as a mustard seed." It is to tell us that it is better for the mind to construct something as big as Mount Meru than to grasp a small amount of emptiness like Meiko Xu.
Because true emptiness is emptiness, it is called emptiness. For beginners, it is difficult to grasp this thing, grasp the wrong way to take a crooked road, take a detour will waste your time and energy, and even damage the body, there will be a variety of problems.
Therefore, when we meditate and meditate as much as possible, we should return to the sentence at the beginning of the abyss, and when our attention remains highly focused on a certain thing, our brain is almost close to a state of natural emptiness. Because you have almost no other thoughts and distractions except for the one thing in which you pay high attention. Over time, when you become proficient, you will be handy. Over time, I have a good grasp, and once I abandon the thing that I have a high concentration on, I will achieve complete emptying, which is a basic step and methodology.
Many people don't know the truth of this, so they have taken a lot of detours, and everyone must pay attention to it!
