Samadhi Part 3 (trailer) – “The Pathless Path”

The Samadhi film series was created to inspire us to engage in meditation and self-inquiry that lead to Samadhi. Samadhi 3 conveys an overview of the two dimensions of practice, which are mindfulness and mental emptiness.
We are in the midst of production on this new project and hope to complete it by mid 2021. As always, we cannot guarantee the release date, as each film has its own time to manifest.

There’s a saying in Zen: “Enlightenment is an accident but practice makes us accident-prone.” In this film we will examine the mechanisms by which one becomes accident-prone.

三摩地是摆脱对有限自我的认同;摆脱我们的制约;摆脱痛苦。导致三摩地的修行或精神实践有两个基本方面:第一个方面是通过转移能量脱离制约模式和病态思维的实践来净化自我结构。当能量自由时,它有助于更大的相互联系、爱以及进入更高层次的自我或灵魂。你所认为的“他者”会融入你。自我结构会像一个节点一样,存在于越来越高的心智层级中。.

悖论是,我们用于摆脱无意识制约的任何实践本身都受到制约。在某个时刻,所有的技巧、所有的概念、所有的行动、所有试图实现三摩地的努力都必须被放下。一个冥想者无法觉醒。一个自我结构无法觉醒。它只能放弃自我控制的反应和偏好,这为在粗糙、精微和因果层面保持清醒奠定了基础和内在的重新连接。.

练习的第二个方面可以称为无相的自我探究,它是关于觉察意识本身;觉醒于所有自性或灵魂层面最终都是空性的认识。就像鸟儿的翅膀一样,修行(sadhana)的这两个方面,即正念和心识的空性,可以将人带向三摩地(Samadhi)——一切二元对立的消融。.

道路是你,道路上的每一个障碍也是你。通往三摩地的道路不是那种你迈出一步又一步以到达某个目的地的道路。道路是剥离幻象,是觉醒于你究竟是谁、在哪里、是什么。.
