Meditation

Luang Por Dhammajayo teaches that the center of the body, the Seventh Base, is the most important position in life — the only position that liberates us from defilements and suffering. Yet the Evil One conceals it from us. Cherish this position: train the mind to stop still, soft, light, and comfortable, clear and calm, supporting it with the recitation "Sammā Arahang" until the sphere of paṭhamamagga arises. Then believe with reason and principle that we must get, must see, must be.

Luang Por Dhammajayo teaches us to dig out the roots of fear entirely — the fear that we will not see, cannot do it, do not know how — which is buried in our hearts as a graveyard of fear. Destroy the wall of fear and let it collapse, then believe with reason and principle that we must get, must see, must be. Recite the mantra of success: "Even though it is dark and murky, we still have the right to attain the Dhamma."

Luang Pu Dhammachayo teaches that the reason meditation isn't working is because we tense up without realizing it — pressing our eyeballs, squeezing eyelids, forcing images. Adjust your method correctly and it becomes easy.

Luang Pu Dhammachayo teaches how to place the mind gently in meditation — as if we are the center of the universe. Soft like cotton, light as a feather, mind clear like a diamond. No tension, no forcing.
