Buddhist-Meditation-Systematic-and-Practical

Mantras, mudras and some simple visualizations have
been well arranged in the ritual. If one lacks the
practical and philosophical connections and meditates
haphazardly on those fragments it will be like grabbing
a handful of antique Chinese coins without stringing
them, that is, the transformation from human body to
Buddha-body will not be accomplished. I will present
here, according to my own experience, the philosophy
governing this system of the "five forms" and the
connections will link the five forms into one.
First of all, one should thoroughly recognize the
"original mind," as the first form is named. It means to
the disciples that besides truth, there exists neither mind
(which the Idealist school asserts), nor matter (which
the Indian and modern materialists suggest). The truth is
that the Dharmakaya is formless, timeless, and eternal.
Before this yoga is practiced, the truth of the stable
tathata samadhi or the meditation of the mantra-seed
(AH) must be mastered and accomplished as a concrete
realization.
A penetrating recognition of the four-dimensional yet
dimensionless truth is not a common visualization seen
through the physical eyes. Ordinary vision is
accompanied by a self-centered desire for attainment
deriving from the sixth consciousness, along with the
egoism of the seventh consciousness of avidya. Truth
may be seen only through the Dharma-eye of vidya. The
