New to Buddhism

According to Buddhism, emptiness is the true essence of everything and everything is empty. It is very important in Buddhism. Because if the heart believes in ignorance that things are "self" and belong to "self", it causes pain.

In the first Parisian teaching, the trick to gain insight about emptiness is to examine five aggregations in meditation. The body is just a body (not "self"), it feels just a feeling (not "self") (not "self") The function of thinking is only the function of thinking (not "self") , Consciousness (consciousness of "consciousness") is mere awareness (not "self"). The meditator starts with seeing breathing until the heart feels that "breath is just breathing / body is just body / body breath" rather than "my" respiration. From that point on, since the mind develops gentle, clarity and strength, it can make a more thorough investigation of other polymers.

In Mahayana Buddhism I received the impression that they are very focused on scrutinizing "clear mind". This is the same as the inspection consciousness. However, the problem of clear and simple thinking is that there is a possibility that it can not be discerned that other aggregates are empty. On the contrary, the heart may be inclined to the belief that the emptiness of words, the emptiness of perception and thought, and emptiness are "indifference". Perception and thought functions are not empty, I think that emptiness is a lack of perception and thinking function.

About the 1st century BC, the Indian subcontinent formed a new Buddhism. It is called Mahayana ("Awesome" or "Universal Vehicle"). Mahayana exercise brought new religious ideals to Buddhism. It is a person who works for Bodhisattva, not only for him or herself but also for enlightenment and happiness of all. This form of Buddhism is spreading throughout China, Korea, and Japan. A few centuries later, the third Buddhist tradition was born in northern India. It is known as Vajrayana ("Diamond Car") spreading to Tibet, Nepal, Sikkim and Himalayas of Bhutan north to Mongolia. The name "diamond" in the name refers to the best definition of its vision and its hardness and strength.

Vajrayana Buddhism accounts for 27.3% of the population, the second largest of Sikkim is the most famous religion. Before Sikkim became part of the Indian federation, Vajrayana Buddhism was a state religion under Chogyal. There are 75 Buddhist monasteries in Sikkim, the oldest one built in the 18th century. The public and visual aesthetics of Sikkim are played in the color of Vajrayana Buddhism and Buddhism plays an important role in public life, even for most of the population of Sikkim's Nepalese Hindus.

In northern India near Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet, Indian Buddhists practiced Mahayana Buddhism close to Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism with private folklore in India. Vajrayana Buddhism is a kind of Mahayana +++. Mahayana Buddhism has philosophy and psychology of spiritual logic and theory, but Vajrayana also has a theory of physiology and cosmology. In addition to meditation as yoga at Mahayana Buddhism, you can also experience visual yoga and recitation yoga at Vajrayana. In a broader sense, Vajrayana is a more sophisticated or evolved form of Buddhism.
