What is sanmai called in Buddhism? Please tell me more.

Is there a definition for that? conditions or something?

Also, do you have training to lead to that?

Entering meditation

If I were to listen, listen to me

Samadhi (samadhi) in Indian language is called samadhi (samadi).

Generally, it refers to entering meditation. In modern terms, I think it would be nice if you could understand it as concentration (concentration). It can be said that it is a state where the mind is quietly unified and at peace.

In Zen Buddhism, it is accepted that Buddha bathed in the Niren Zen River, meditated deeply under the Bodhi tree, and attained enlightenment when the morning star appeared in the sky. It can be said that zazen meditation is the path to enlightenment, and it is Zanzazen itself.

I think other denominations also define that sect's ascetic practice and that sect's trifecta, but I haven't studied what other denominations call sanmuri, so please learn from answers from other people.

The state of mental concentration is full

There is a detailed explanation on the website of the Japan Therawada Buddhist Association that comes up by searching for “how to meditate in terms of Buddhism,” but it may be difficult.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

“What is samurai called in Buddhism? Please tell me more. Is there a definition for that? conditions or something?” ・・

Samadhi in Buddhism is a phonetic transcription with the etymology samadhi, and the point is what is called mental concentration in meditation, mental unity, etc. It is generally defined as having nine stages of meditation (four zen, four colorless, and exhaustive).

“Also, do you have training to lead to that? If you have an ascetic practice, what kind of thing do you do?” ・・

Typical examples are zazen meditation and meditation. Furthermore, there is an ascetic practice of concentrating on one act with one mind, which is also called a trifecta.

Now, the above is also described in the Wikipedia explanation of “Sanmai,” but in my humble opinion, I think that samurai is a state of understanding (emptiness).

This means understanding and understanding of emptiness in instinctive recognition, and direct knowledge; however, in the case of an ordinary man who is still immature in ascetic practice, even if the ascetic practice progresses to some extent, and even if he is able to enter a state of anamnesia, when he moves away from that ambivalence and returns to a world of manifestation, they are also misled by ignorance and worry, and they may create evil acts that cause reincarnation, confusion, and suffering.

Therefore, in the end, even if we return to the revealed world, it is necessary to aim for a state where emptiness is understood in its present quantity, and for that reason, I know that the practice of trifecta is also an important phased practice.

Give up your consciousness completely 

“When all the Buddha Buddha and Buddha single-handed down the Myōdō and attest (switch ON) to prove (switch ON) Abha Bodhi (enlightenment), there is a supreme martial art. This is just an outpouring, pointing to the Buddha, without being devious, is the standard for Sunahachi self-acceptance Sanmai.
In order to enjoy yourself in this trifecta, use Hamazanzen as the main gate.
Even though this law is well-deserved of superiority to the people, it still has no choice but to practice it, and there is nothing left but to bear witness to it. Watch Hanatebate.”
From Dogen Zenji's “Bento Story”
Bento means speaking Buddhism. Buddhism is the path of self.
The road is the supreme state of inaction.
Supreme inaction is a person's highest state of mind, a state of enlightenment.
Sanmai means living there.
You could say it's a process to get there, or you can say it's a state where you're riding on there.
The essence of this is my heart without any sense of self.
Dogen Zenji explains, “To practice Buddhism is to flaunt one's self, to confess one's self, and to be testified to all the laws of the world.”
When we forget our sense of honor and self-consciousness, and let go, humans forget our sense of self and self, which is the borderline separating ourselves from others, from this body and mind.
My unconscious mind is in a state where it is closely connected to itself.
Furthermore, it is explained that “it is enough to drop out with one's own body and mind and one's own body and mind (consciousness of others within oneself).”
Seems like there is no separation between self and others, here and there. Perfect one, fully synchronized. 100% synchronization rate with the facts at hand. Anyone can be in that state if they realize that all of their own physical and mental functions are selfless. What is specific is zazen (depends on the instructor).
Before the filter of thought is exchanged, it is a state where consciousness is poured into facts without interruption so that there is no room for the thought mind to enter, and it remains a state of feeling.
We live in a state where we only feel colors, sounds, aromas, flavors, and body senses while feeling the senses of the five senses.
Furthermore, there's no ❝ me ❞ there. Since I have this body but I have no sense of privacy, I feel like it blends in with everything, and such notations are also made in Buddhist scriptures.
The Zen word hanging scroll all probably only talks about scenery.
I and my immediate future are one.
Incidentally, cut the Pacific saury into three pieces.
When you eat it, it's full body and it's like Pacific saury itself, so it's full. 3 cushions

As an experience...

There are many things, such as Zazen Zanmai, Kegon Zanmai, Hokke Zanmai, and Nembutsu Zanmai. I came here for Nembutsu Sanmai, so I actually don't know what the other Zanmai experiences are... For the time being, the basic experience I feel is probably a loss of my own physical sense. I feel like my existence has become transparent, and there are no boundaries between myself and others. Plus, it feels like being wrapped in something warm. Is it a feeling of being spiritually touched by a real Buddha and dissolving into that love? It's very, very pleasant, and there is a sense of spiritual pleasure (relaxation). However, this is different from recognition in a relative field (field), which is recognized by normal five senses or everyday consciousness. Oh well, no matter what or how you write it, it's actually out of touch with that.
