In Buddhism, walking, living, sitting and lying are easy to be distracted and delusional; Standing for a long time is easy to get tired; Lying down is easy to get dizzy; Sitting alone is the most extraordinary victory, so practitioners usually read Buddha in the form of "sitting" and participate in meditation. Meditation has four advantages:
First, it can make the body and mind converge and the speed is light and comfortable;
Second, sitting for a long time is not easy to get tired;
Third, unlike the foreign road, the foreign road will not sit;
Fourth, the dignity of the knot is neat, which can make people pay respect. If you can meditate and remember the name of Buddha, your mouth is fate and your heart is the foundation, it will be easier to enter the samadhi of chanting Buddha.
