Bevezető

Az a szándék hívta életre ezt a könyvecskét, hogy általános útmutatóként szolgáljon a buddhista meditáció gyakorlásához. Az anyag egy része könnyen érthető lesz a kezdők számára is, ám vannak olyan részletei, melyek csak idővel, a gyakorlás előrehaladtával válnak világossá. Munkánk részletesebben tárgyalja az alapokat, kiterjeszti a gyakorlás területét, és bevezeti az olvasót a buddhista meditáció gyakorlata mögött meghúzódó elméleti rendszerbe.

Számos olyan mentális vagy spirituális gyakorlat létezik, melyet „meditációnak” nevezhetünk, ám annak előfeltétele, hogy a tudat működését átlássuk, nem más, mint hogy fenntartsunk egy objektív tudatosságot. A tudatossághoz rendszerre van szükség, amely világos hivatkozásokkal tud szolgálni. A théraváda buddhizmusban az „éberség alapjai” (ez a szentiratok szatipatthána kifejezésének fordítása, mely szó szerint „az éberség közel helyezése”) azok a hivatkozási pontok, melyre a tudatosságot vonatkoztatjuk.

Zárójelben megadtam a buddhista szentiratok páli nyelvű kulcsszavait, melyekkel az olvasó más művekben is találkozhat, esetleg eltérő fordításban. Buddhapada Alapítvány, Budapest Akik élénken érdeklődnek e gyakorlatok iránt, azoknak nagyon hasznos megismerkedni a szentiratok szövegeivel, elsősorban a Mahászatipatthána szuttával. (Magyar kiadása: Nyanaponika Thera: A buddhista meditáció szíve. A Szatipatthána szutta szövege és kommentárjai, Orient Press, Budapest, 1994, fordította Pressing Lajos.) A szöveg kiváló angol fordításokban is elérhető, ilyen például „Az éberség megalapozásáról szóló nagy beszéd”, Maurice Walshe The Long discourses of The Buddha című fordításkötetében (Wisdom Publications, Boston, 1987). Számos kommentár és magyarázat íródott a témában, melyek további sajátos értelmezésekkel vagy módszerekkel szolgálnak, a központi gyakorlat segítése céljából. A másik fontos szentirat „A légzés tudatosításáról szóló beszéd” (Ánápánaszati szutta) a The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha című, Bhikkhu Ñāṇamoli és Bhikkhu Bodhi által fordított gyűjteményben található, melyet angolul szintén a Wisdom Publications jelentetett meg, 1995-ben.

E könyvecske használatához azt javaslom, hogy először olvassák el az egészet, különösen alaposan tanulmányozva az Összefoglalás című fejezetet, mely a könyv végén található, de nem azért, mert zárógondolat, hanem mert könnyen megta­lálható hivatkozás. E fejezet néhány meg­ jegyzése minden meditációs szakasz alap­ elveként szolgál. Ha már az egész köny­vet átlátja az olvasó, akkor kezdje el alkal­ mazni az utasításokat, lépésről lépésre. Az olvasásnál talán hónapokkal, sőt évekkel tovább is eltarthat, míg a valódi megta­ pasztalás szintjén „átjutunk” egy fejezeten. Mivel a belátások és a nehézségek egy­ aránt előre nem látható időpontban merül­ nek fel, ha egészében átlátjuk a folyamatot, a problémával egy későbbi, a témába vágó fejezethez fordulhatunk, még ha nem is az következne.

Mindig azt javaslom, hogy aki szeret­ ne elmélyülni a meditációban, az kérje ki hasonló érdeklődésű barátai tanácsát, és ha lehetséges, egy tapasztalt és megbízható tanító véleményét. Jóllehet, ha átlátjuk az egészet, az segít képet alkotnunk a meditá­ cióról, a tanító viszont minden egyes tanít­ ványt pontosabb és személyre szabottabb tanácsokkal láthat el, annak előrehaladása függvényében, és ezzel elősegíti, hogy a gyakorló megfeleljen a meditáció során fel­ merülő kívánalmaknak és fejleményeknek. néhány helyen jeleztem olyan pontokat (melyeket más betűtípussal tüntettünk fel), ahol a gyakorlónak esetleg olyan dologban kell segítséget kérnie, amely kívül esik e mű hatáskörén, és inkább egyéni elbírálást igényel. Ezek olyan témákra vonatkoznak, mint például a testgyakorlás és a személyes vagy erkölcsi támogatás. Az összeszedett­ ség (szamádhi) kifejlesztésének mélyebb fokozataira vonatkozó apróbb részletek sem tartoznak ebbe az általános bevezető­ be, hiszen azoknak rendes körülmények között akkor lesz jelentőségük, amikor az ember hosszú elvonulást folytat egy taní­ tóval.

E könyvecske egy tapasztalt meditáló ösztönzésére és támogatásával született meg, aki azt kívánta, hogy azok a jótéte­ mények, amelyeket a gyakorlás idézett elő életében, mások számára is elérhetővé vál­ janak. töltse el örömmel és szolgáljon épü­ lésére cselekedeteinek jósága!

Unseating the Inner Tyrant

Do you ever find yourself dominated by a chain of thought that tells you that you’re not good enough, that you don’t deserve much, and that other people look down on you or tolerate you out of politeness? Do you find yourself snagging on memories of things you did wrong, or relationships that you didn’t get right? Do you feel that you have to be a success in life like you think someone else is – and are consequently critical of yourself? This piece of psychology is called ‘the Inner Tyrant’. The good news is that it’s not just you who has this, and that you can get free of its grip. And the key to this is through establishing, and continually re-establishing, right intent.

First paragraph from Ajahn Sucitto’s Unseating the Inner Tyrant.

Samādhi is Pure Enjoyment

Let’s look at the idea of concentration, or samādhi. When you hear those four little syllables, con-cen-tra-tion, what do they imply to you? It may take a few moments to articulate it, but you might immediately feel a particular set of energies starting to take over. You probably get a sense of doing something, working hard at it to get it right. That’s the normal take. We clench up, get tight, and go for it. It’s intensive practice, a ‘concentration’ camp. No slacking! With this kind of thinking, we rev up the controlling systems, the duty systems, the work systems, and the ‘get-it-right’ systems. Right there is stress. A line of tension starts to form across your brow.

Preface

The following pages offer some means to find clarity and calm within a few minutes. They can be put into practice in a range of non-specialized situations – in the time it would take you to drink a cup of tea. If you live a busy life, this guide may help you come out of the momentum of the day and give you more time. These suggestions may also offer you a way to meditate – but that’s up to you and another guide.

Bear in mind that to keep things brief, I’ve been terse. What follows is like a bag of dehydrated peas or mountain food. Add your own water and wait!

I hope it helps.
