Buddha attained supreme enlightenment through meditation and then spent His whole life converting sentient beings. The Four Foundations of Mindfulness Sutra teaches a method of meditation to gain no-self, and to enter Nirvana.
Why do we get drossy when meditating?
There are four causes:
– We don’t get enough sleep everyday
– Daily work makes us exhausted
– We don’t know well the whole body
– Past karma control us
The above four causes usually make us drowsy.
Thus, if we consider our drowsiness as the one of the above four causes, we have to adjust our daily life such as we need to sleep enough, or schedule daily activities, or practice Qi Gong.
