Are there any senior monks who practice meditation? Up to what level can one sit? The four jhanas and eight samadhis: does the breath cease, the pulse stop, and the vital spirit leave the body?
There is dedicated time for meditation every morning and evening. Something dirty is coming out. Then they enter a state of self-forgetfulness until dawn. After acquiring some worldly possessions, one enters the world to gain experience. Currently only at the Qi Cultivation stage.
Has been stuck at the Battle King stage for many years:lol:lol
Stop it, I practice qi cultivation; I’m not from the same sect as you! I have been practicing qi cultivation for over a decade, ready to advance to the foundation-building stage
It’s the mindset! I can’t even sit still while fishing, let alone do anything else! I guess few people actually practice qigong and meditation!
I’ve been reading Tang Yongtong’s History of Buddhism in the Han, Wei, Western Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties lately; it’s quite interesting. I think sitting in meditation is not as good as sleeping.
