Buddhist-Meditation-Systematic-and-Practical

Nowadays, people have deep interest in discussing truth,
but little faith in practice. Hence I will introduce these
subjects frankly, accurately, and clearly.
An adumbration should be inserted here before setting
forth the statement of anuttarayoga to complete the
whole system of the Tantric doctrines concerning the
Buddha-body.
A. Kriya Yoga
When one is practicing the Kriya Yoga, one frequently
associates with male and female Buddhas, bodhisattvas,
and gods who are bodhisattvas. Just as a child always
copies the actions of his parents, the practitioner
imitates the manner and appearances of Buddhas. The
meditator should not consider himself or herself as a
sinner lacking the entity of Buddhahood. To greatly
deepen one's irreversibility from Buddhahood, one is
taught to practice these eighteen methods daily:
1. To purify sin, enabling the meditator to be close to
Buddhas.
2. To ask the Buddha of Buddha-department to purify
misdeeds of body.
3. To ask the Lotus-Buddha to purify scandals caused
by speech.
4. To ask the Vajra-Buddha to purify wickedness
conceived in the mind
5. To wear the Vajra-armor to protect the pure body.
