Buddha Residency REATREAT. Diligence in meditation during the three months of the rainy season is very important in the practice of monastics. After months of teaching and learning, stopping at one place to practice with the Sangha to nurture the mind, to cultivate the seeds of purity and peace is a must. Once, the Blessed One was staying at Icchanan-gala, in the grove of Icchanan-gala. There, the World-Honored One said to the bhikkhus: "I want to live in solitary contemplation for three months, not receiving anyone, except one who brings food back. - Yes, venerable sir. Those bhikkhus obeyed the Blessed One. Thus, no one came to visit the Blessed One, except one who brought food. Then the Blessed One, after those three months were over, arose from the place of solitary contemplation, and called to the bhikkhus: - Monks, if the wandering ascetics came to ask you: "With abiding hey, Hien, The recluse Gotama dwells much in the rainy season?" When asked thus, bhikkhus, answer these ascetics as follows: 'With mindfulness of breathing in and out, venerable friends, the Blessed One abides much in the seasons. rain". Here, bhikkhus, mindfully I breathe in, mindfully I breathe out. Or breathe in long, I know: "I breathe in long". Or breathe out long, I know well: "I breathe out long". Or breathe in short, I know: "I breathe in short". Or breathe out short, I know: "I breathe out short"... "Contemplating giving up, I breathe in", I know that. "Contemplating renunciation, I breathe out", I know that. This Male-stilts, who wants to say in a righteous way, this is the holy stay, this is the Brahma residence, this is the Tathagata's residence; he speaks righteously, must say that mindfulness of breathing in and out is a holy abode, a Brahma abode, and a Tathagata abode. What bhikkhus, bhikkhus, are the learned ones? the mind is not yet accomplished, living in need of unsurpassed peace from suffering and yoke; Those who practice and perfect mindfulness of the in-breath and out-breath will bring to an end the taints. And, bhikkhus, those bhikkhus who are an arahant, who have eradicated the defilements, have practiced well, have done what should have been done, have laid down the burden, have attained the ideal, has eradicated fetters, right knowledge, liberation; they cultivate, perfecting concentration on in-breathing and out-breathing, right in the present, leading to bliss, mindfulness and awareness.

EXPERIENCE: Retreat for three months in the rainy season is a practice tradition of the monks established by the World-Honored One from his time in the world, which has been maintained continuously to this day. Diligence in meditation during the three months of the rainy season is very important in the practice of monastics. After months of traveling and teaching, stopping in one place to practice with the Sangha to nurture the mind and cultivate the seeds of purity and harmony is what needs to be done. For a long time, the monks have often tried to settle down, confine their bodies and minds, and cultivate Precepts-Concentration-Wisdom to attain the Saints. It is obvious that the Male-stilts need to adhere to practice as a duty. But few people doubted that the World-Honored One and the Arahants also remained in residence: "Those people practice and perfect mindfulness of in-breathing and out-breathing, right in the present moment, leading to blissful abiding. , mindfulness and awareness". The Blessed One, the Enlightened One, The holy life has been accomplished, the burden has been put down, but still "lived alone in meditation for three months, not receiving anyone, except one who brought food". Let's reflect on this together to see that the Buddha taught specifically for posterity about the task of settling down. Obviously, a Male-stilts cannot in the name of anything or invoking any reason neglect the duty of seclusion. Because that is the abode of the Brahma, the abode of the Saint, the abode of the Tathagata. Applying the practice of mindfulness of breathing, abiding with mindfulness and awareness is the foundation of Brahma's residence, holy dwelling, and Tathagata's residence. The Blessed One pointed out, himself: "With mindfulness of the in-breath and out-breath, the Blessed One abides much in the rainy seasons, friends." Therefore, sedentary practitioners need to be mindful of the breath to establish mindfulness and discernment in order to subdue the defilements. Of course, the practice of contemplation of the breath has been applied and affirmed by the Blessed One as a basic practice, but we can use other dharmas such as repenting, chanting, reciting the Buddha's name, reciting mantras, etc., which is the essence of the problem. The topic is to establish mindfulness and awareness. At the time of the World-Honored One, after each season of residence, the Male-stilts progressed spiritually, and quite a few attained the Saints' results. We today perform the duty of settling down, although we have not attained enlightenment like our predecessors, but thanks to the virtue of the Sangha, our virtues are full, blessings and favors increase. Settlement is the establishment, abiding and integration of Brahma, Saint and Tathagata reside. Reciting the Buddha's name, reciting mantras, etc., is the key to establishing righteous awareness.
