Taoism believes that the real purpose of meditation practice is to get through the two meridians of Ren Du and even the eight meridians of Qi Jing, restore health and prolong life. Therefore, Taoism advocates that "double cultivation of life" is the right way.
However, the difference between Buddhism and Taoism in meditation methods is not absolute. Especially under the influence of the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Buddhists do not object to the physical rejection of merit during meditation; Taoist meditation also pays more attention to psychological cultivation.
Especially in the advanced stage of meditation, the experience of Buddhism and Taoism presents the characteristics of convergence. Both of them stop their pulse, and then they can gain special energy wisdom. It can be said that all rivers run into the sea, and all roads lead to the same goal.
Extended data
The main points of sitting posture:
1, stumbling on both feet
Put your left foot on your right leg first, and then put your right foot on your left foot. This is called king kong sit. Put your right foot on your left leg first, and then put your left foot on your right foot. This is called wishful sitting posture. You can sit in either posture, or you can alternate when your leg hurts. If you can't double disk, use a single disk.
2, the spine is straight
When people meditate, the vertical spine is the key. Hips should be padded with a soft pad two or three inches high, which inclines downward from the thigh root to the knee, so that the knee can touch the ground as a support point, and the knee should not be suspended. The principle is to feel the center of gravity is stable, and there is no feeling of leaning forward and leaning back.
Then wrap the legs, waist and wind pool points behind you. When it is cold, some people still need Baotou. The upper body is naturally tall and straight, without leaning forward or leaning back. Baihui point and Yinxue point are on a vertical line, but the nature should be relaxed. It should be noted that relaxation is smooth and the meridians are comfortable; Rigid qi stagnation hinders the circulation of qi and blood.
3. Shoulder strain
Relax your shoulders, but don't hold your chest out. During meditation, the meditator's hands are slightly raised, his shoulders are slightly retracted, and his shoulders are sunken. From the outside, the shoulder is a parallel line; Seen from the back, the shoulders are round.
4. The hand knot is fixed under the navel.
Put your left hand under your right hand and your thumb under your navel.
5. The head is right
The head is straight, the chin is slightly lower forward, the back of the head is slightly retracted, and the activity of the left and right arterial catheters in the neck can be slightly inhibited. The point is, if the head is crooked and the waist can't form a hollow straight line, it's the easiest time to get dizzy. Being born between heaven and earth is itself a spiritual thing between heaven and earth. Because of the skew of this middle line, the meaning of heaven and earth will not fall on you.
6. Eyes are slightly closed
When you meditate, fix your eyes first, and then slowly close your eyes. Close your eyes and don't droop. Only when your eyes are fixed and bright can you conform to the rules. If you look down, if you are not sure, just sit and rest.
Eyes slightly open, as if closed and opened, as if half closed and turned a blind eye. Feel free to look at the front of the table seven or eight feet, or one foot two. For people who usually work with their eyes, it is best to close their eyes at the beginning of meditation. Eyes see the distance of one meter ahead, which is the most standard.
7, the tongue licking the palate
The first half of the tongue licks the upper jaw slightly, just like a baby who has no teeth yet when he is asleep. This is called "bridging" in monasticism. Which bridge should I take? There are 365 big holes in the human body, corresponding to the revolution of the earth around the sun.
