Meditation
Meditation for Beginners
The next Step for Meditation Practitioners
By Luang Phaw Dhammajayo
There are some drawbacks when practicing the Dhammakaya
meditation technique, by consulting this meditation manual exclusively without
a meditation master. Each individual practitioner has a different personality
which results in different difficulties during meditation. The manual can solve
some basic questions but not all. Many new practitioners have questions that
may make their meditation practices progress slowly, if not halt it completely.
As a suggestion, I would like to invite all those who have tried practicing meditation
after reading this book to come to Wat Phra Dhammakaya or any of its branches
worldwide. There, you will have a chance to speak with meditation instructors
who can provide good suggestions for better meditation and answer unresolved
questions about meditation.
Visiting Wat Phra Dhammakaya or its branches will
introduce you to other practitioners with similar interests. The group study
and meditation session provides group support and encouragement towards
improving your meditation. If you wish to advance in meditation practice, you
can participate in the seven – day meditation retreat for foreigners. The
temple offers monthly meditation retreats in Thailand.
