Capítulo 241: Chapter 186: Discussing Scriptures and Chan Meditation, Mahayana Buddhism_1

Xilai Temple, deep into the night.

Within the monk's quarters.

Yibai and the abbot of Xilai Temple settled onto meditation cushions.

Before they began to discuss Buddhist Law, the abbot first instructed Yibai on how to "meditate."

Yibai quickly grasped this method.

After learning how to meditate,

Yibai then discovered the wonder of meditation.

The so-called meditation is to use a special sitting posture and a special breathing technique, allowing one to cast aside stray thoughts and comprehend Buddhist Law.

As Yibai meditated, he could sense the operation of his visualization of the letter "A" unconsciously.

However, he couldn't bear the seated position for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, his body becoming sore and hard to endure.

"Abbot, the wonder of meditation, I understand, but such a practice is still too unbearable."

Yibai complained.
