The afternoon sun shines into the room through the curtains that drag on the ground.
The white marble columns stand quietly, supporting the semicircular dome with a huge span.
There are countless light spots on the dome, like bright stars, which are the main source of light in the room.
It seems that the entire universe is copied here, and the vast sky is printed on it, which is extremely eye-catching.
This is a huge round palace, tall and magnificent, gorgeous and holy.
More than 50 people gathered here, and they all felt particularly small.
This scene shocked many members and made them exclaim in admiration.
I didn’t expect that such a sacred and magnificent building could be hidden in the seemingly shabby training camp base.
Seemingly influenced by this special environment, Fang Cheng also developed an inexplicable reverence in his heart.
He was vigilant and silently observed the surroundings when he suddenly heard a strange sound of footsteps.
Then the door creaked and was slowly pushed open.
A thin middle-aged man wearing glasses then walked into the meditation hall.
He was also wearing a plain white meditation suit, and he looked at everyone and coughed softly.
The members who were originally whispering immediately shut up, and the whole place fell silent.
The middle-aged man walked to the circle of cushions placed in the center of the hall, chose a place, and sat cross-legged.
Then a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly to everyone:
"Don’t be restrained, you can call me Teacher Chen. In the next few days, I will lead you into the wonderful world of meditation practice, teach you how to learn to control yourself, and eliminate the anxiety and sorrow that troubles you…"
His smile was as warm as the spring breeze, and his tone was neither fast nor slow.
After a few simple opening remarks, he told everyone:
"You can find a seat to sit down now. There is no seating arrangement here, nor is there a distinction between the old and the young. Everyone is a family of brothers and sisters."
After hearing this, more than 50 members immediately moved their cushions and sat around the instructor.
Everyone seemed to want to be as close to this amiable instructor as possible.
Fang Cheng had a calm face and chose to sit relatively far away from the crowd.
Pan Wendi didn’t know if she was relying on him, so she also sat cross-legged next to him.
Fang Cheng glanced at this guy who didn’t know how to social distance, moved his butt slightly, and continued to maintain a suitable distance.
"Okay."
Seeing that everyone had taken their seats, Instructor Chen clapped his hands gently.
"Before we start to learn meditation, can I first understand your life backgrounds? Can you please tell me why you want to learn meditation?"
He pointed to the female member closest to him.
"Young lady, can you tell me first?"
The female member was stunned when she heard this, and after hesitating for a moment, she said hesitantlySaid:
"My name is Deng Wenwen, I’m 26 years old, working in a trading company in Dongdu. The purpose of my meditation is to forget a relationship."
"Because… my boyfriend died in the Xishan fire more than a month ago. Although he always made me angry before… but… but, I really can’t forget him…"
As she spoke, her emotions got out of control, she choked up several times, unable to control herself.
Seeing this, Teacher Chen showed pity on his face and sighed:
"What’s the joy of life, what’s the sorrow of death, each of us comes to this world, lonely, but also happy."
"Because even if we leave this world today, tomorrow we will still leave many relatives and friends who miss us, and this miss actually means that you have been to this world and lived here truly."
After saying this, he then looked at Deng Wenwen, his eyes behind the lenses shining slightly.
"Ms. Deng, the purpose of practicing meditation is not to forget or look down on things, but to let go, be calm, and be enlightened."
"Even if you can reach the highest level of meditation, Nirvana, in the future, this yearning for your boyfriend will still remain in the cosmic consciousness, eternal and indelible, but it has long been transformed from negative to positive, guiding you to face emotional problems positively and optimistically."
"Because life is a cycle of reincarnation, maybe in the next reincarnation, you will meet again, who knows…"
"Is this… true?"
Hearing this, Deng Wenwen couldn’t help but stare at him in a daze.
Teacher Chen smiled and nodded.
Perhaps this statement soothed her emotions, and the whole person instantly became much calmer.
With the first person starting, the other members also talked about their own worries and troubles in turn.
Some wanted to escape from reality because of work pressure and irritability.
Some also encountered emotional problems and felt that life was full of confusion.
Others are heavily in debt and want to commit suicide but are afraid of death, hoping to find a way to truly get rid of it.
There are all kinds of reasons, and it has become a complaint meeting.
When it was Fang Cheng’s turn, he was closing his eyes slightly to rest his spirit.
Seeing that everyone’s eyes were cast over him, he frowned slightly, showing the same distress.
"My name is Ma Donghao. There was a big brother who went astray when he was young and mixed with gangs. He was hacked to death in front of me."
"After that, the scene of the tragic fight often appeared in my dreams, which has been bothering me and making me feel mentally exhausted…"
He lowered his head and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, as if wiping the wet corners of his eyes.
Teacher Chen looked at him kindly and comforted him softly.
Pan Wendi looked at Fang Cheng with a little surprise, with an expression that said, "You have such a sad past."
Then when it was his turn to speak, he replied nonchalantly:
“I just want to learn meditation.After returning, I can not only guide students to exercise, but also become their spiritual mentor, improve the level of service, and earn twice as much money for one job. "
Other team members couldn’t help but sneer when they heard this.
When everyone spoke out the problems that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time, the atmosphere of the class seemed to become much more relaxed.
Teacher Chen then clapped his hands and said gently:
"I deeply sympathize with everyone’s experience, but I can also tell you responsibly that as long as it involves spiritual problems or diseases, they can be successfully solved by practicing meditation."
"And the benefits of meditation are not limited to this. You will gradually understand this in the subsequent practice process."
"In this class today, I will teach you the basics of meditation and how to successfully reach the first level of "quietness". ”
“First of all, you need to clarify your concept. Meditation is a comprehensive training that adjusts the state of mind and body from shallow to deep through self-awareness. It includes multiple practice steps and techniques…”
The lecture officially began, and everyone gathered and listened attentively.
Fang Cheng also straightened his back and looked at the instructor attentively.
However, these knowledge points are still similar to the content played on the meditation teaching disc.
Just when Fang Cheng felt a little disappointed.
Instructor Chen suddenly threw out a sentence that cheered him up:
“Next, before you try to enter the quiet for the first time, I must explain a very important issue in advance.”
“The goal of this stage of quietness is to make our five senses more sensitive and delicate, so that we can receive information that is usually ignored by the brain.”
“But this also brings a problem. After the perception is amplified, there will be a contradictory situation that goes in the opposite direction. The information you receive becomes complicated, and people will become more anxious and difficult to enter the quiet. ”
“There have even been students with outstanding talents who have suffered from mental disorders because of this.”
“So, how can we solve this problem?”
“We really want to summarize the specific practice methods into three points: practice the five senses, transcend the five senses, and return to awareness!”
