What is the Purpose Meditation?

Someone might ask, "What is the purpose of meditation groupspencengkeraman? "Someone might hesitate," Do we meditateabout the past, present, future, or a period notobvious? "Why do we meditate? Whether to achieve material prosperity?Whether to cure disease? Whether to obtain visionmagic, flying, or for any other supernatural force. The purpose of meditationpendangan light is not all of the above. Some people have recovered fromvarious severe diseases through insight meditation practice.DuringThe Buddha, many of which reach perfection through meditation viewslight also obtain supernormal power. Some people today are alsomay obtain such power. However, obtainingSuch power is not the goal of insight meditation (vipassana).Are we supposed to meditate about a phenomenon that has beenpassed? Are we supposed to meditate on the phenomenon that has notappear, or only about the emerging phenomenon of the moment?Are weshould meditate on the phenomenon we can imagine havingwe read in books?Answers to these questions is: "We meditateto release pencengkeraman, and we meditate on whatappears at this time. "

People who have not practiced meditation, gripped in the mental andmaterial that appears every time they see, hear, smell, taste,touch, or know something. They grabbed these things withdesires because they feel happy with it. They clutchedwith a view either as an eternal, happy, and as a self or ego.We meditate in order "not a" pencengkeraman this, to be freefrom him. This is the basic goal of insight meditation (vipassana).(P. 30)
We meditate only on what appears at this time. We do notmeditate on the things in the past or the future, nor onconcept. Here, I am talking about real insight meditation(Based on fact), but in meditation at the conclusion logic(Inferential) 2 we are meditating on the things in the past and thewill come, or about the concept. Let me explain.Insight meditation there are two types: based on the facts andlogic conclusions (inferential). The knowledge that you get withmeditate on what is actually being emerged based on the nature, functions,and manifestations is a fact-based insight. From this knowledge,you conclude about the impermanence, dissatisfaction, and not the natureaway from the things of the past and future, or things that you have not experienced.This is vipassana inferential. As mentioned in Patisambhidāmagga,"The combination of both (visible and invisible) into onethrough the conclusion. . 'The Book Visuddhimagga describes this revelation asfollows: "... through the conclusion based on logic, through the conclusionbased on the evidence, from the object seen through the real experience, hedefines that both [the visible and invisible] have onlya single essence of 'The forms of unity has been destroyed in the past,and will be destroyed in the future, just as is being destroyednow. "(Vism. 643)"An object that looks" mean Vipassana based on facts, and "throughconclusions based on logic, the conclusions based on evidence "isvipassana inferential. However, it should be noted that vipassanainferential only possible after Vipassana based on fact. Noconclusions can be made without knowing in advance the current object.The same explanation given in the commentaries of Kathāvatthu:"Viewing the impermanence of even only one form of unity, one candraw conclusions about other things that 'are impermanent nature of allthings in life '. "2 Inference = logic reasoning process: the process of reasoning from apremise to a conclusion. Premise = basis of arguments: a proposition Thatforms the basis of an argument or from the which a conclusion is drawn.(P. 31)
Why we do not meditate on the things in the past or futurewho will come? Because they can not help us understand the natureThe actual phenomenon or eliminate mental impurities. You do not rememberyour past life, you do not even remember most of his childhoodyou. So by meditating on the things in the past, how can yourecognize things as they are by nature, functions, and its manifestations?The things from the new pass can still be remembered, but when consideringthem you think, "I see, I hear, I think. It is mywho saw the time, and now is that I'm seeing. "Thoughtabout "me" is always there, so there will always be the view of eternityand happiness. So meditation on memory is not fit for purposeus. You will be gripped, and pencengkeraman (upadana) is difficultovercome. Although you may think of it as mental and physicalthrough knowledge and your thinking, the concept of "I" still exists, becauseyou have clutched. You may say to yourselfthat they are not eternal, but you see it as eternal. You maysaid they were not satisfactory, but the impression of continuous happinessappears. You ponder about the lack of self, but the concept of selfstay strong and sturdy. You argue with yourself, so that meditationyou have to succumb to the ideas that have been planted earlier.The future has not arrived, and you can not be sure what kindwhen the future comes. You might meditate on the future beforeit was coming, but you fail to do so when it actually came.Then the desire, the view is wrong, and mental defilements arise again.So meditate on the object the future with the help of learning andthinking is not the way to know things as they are. It alsonot the way to eliminate mental impurities.The concepts (things that do not have a span of time) has neverexist, there would be no, and no in oneself or in personother. They only conceivable through learning and thinking. Theylooks impressive and intellectually, but actually only a conceptof names, symbols, and shapes. If someone is meditating,"Physical is not eternal, he appears and disappears from time to time." Askhim, "Is it physical? What is the physical from the past, present, or(P. 32)
who will come? Are there physical inside yourself, or in personOther? If the body is inside of you, whether in the head, body, legs,hands, eyes, or your ear? "Someone will find that no oneany of the above, but only a concept - just a fantasy. So wedo not meditate on the concept.(P. 33)
