The Six Bodhisattva Characters are Generosity, Discipline, Patience, Concentration, Meditation, and Wisdom.
Meditation
Meditation is the power of creation, the ability to create complete awareness of the opposite forces of life. To create: being lively, wild and free, being calmly but sharply aware with no tension, of all the details of the present and possibilities for the future.
The power of meditation is the result of developing the first four Bodhisattva Characters. Each of them will then develop until you are no longer stuck in the limitation of “I”. You will be free to create a new, unlimited “I” to match your spiritual will.
Meditation is two powers united together.
The first is the power to create the awareness of stillness. The second is using that awareness to create a lifestyle that is to be free from personal limitation and the four points of suffering; physical activity, desire, emotion, and thinking become four causes of incredible joy.
The first power of meditation is developed through the following system:
- Moving Meditation is improved by being aware of the Tai Chi philosophy. This is a training system for developing your awareness ability until you can open all your senses and be aware of your body and surroundings in perfect harmony.
- Out of Thinking Meditation creates the feeling of harmony and relaxation in the whole body while sitting still, with the mind free from worry, stress, and greed.
- Free from Searching Meditation is being able to remain calm, with the whole body light while sitting in a meditation pose with every cell fully charged and open. Your psychology and mentality is no longer locked into “I and Mine”. Joyful awareness grows freely without physical limitation.
The second power appears as a lifestyle.
Physical Activity Meditation is using physical awareness to increase your energy and excitement while remaining in harmony with your surroundings, including other life. This mediation comes by following clear, logical movement and being spontaneous to match your changing situation. It is the result of a lifestyle that supports every cell in the body being completely awakened with a light and joyful feeling, no longer bothered by any tension.
Desire Meditation is using the eternal force of desire to develop a lifestyle with pure sharing and no suffering. You desire to be generous instead of satisfying “I and Mine” desires. This includes desiring to develop the wisdom to release suffering. It does not mean desiring to get wisdom, but using desire to be aware that desire can cause suffering. Desire Meditation appears as a deep contentment influencing your entire lifestyle away from searching for satisfaction from materials or other life.
Emotion Meditation is the ability to see through “I and Mine” and feel other lives’ situation and ability. This is feeling and relating to other life without egoistic expectations or blind judgement. Emotion Meditation is the result of being sensitive to avoid following possessive intention. It appears as the wisdom ability to create a calm, joyful, content awareness and not being influenced by fear or worry.
Thinking Meditation is being able to directly feel truth as thought, feeling the unlimited force of life changing unlimited possibilities. It is directly discovering new wisdom ability to purely observe. Thinking Meditation appears through the appreciation of how incredible life is while truly wanting to understand this power so that you are no longer limited by trying to get anything, including wisdom. This is only possible because of the ability to directly discover wisdom. Thinking Meditation appears as incredible joy growing through time and space, and the ability to share that wisdom with other life through speaking.
