Meditation changes temperatures

Meditation changes temperatures:

Mind controls body in extreme experiments

By William J. Cromie – Gazette Staff

A Buddhist monk has his vital signs measured as he prepares to enter an advanced state of meditation in Normandy, France. During meditation, the monk’s body produces enough heat to dry cold, wet sheets put over his shoulders in a frigid room

In a monastery in northern India, thinly clad Tibetan monks sat quietly in a room where the temperature was a chilly 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a yoga technique known as g Tum-mo, they entered a state of deep meditation. Other monks soaked 3-by-6-foot sheets in cold water (49 degrees) and placed them over the meditators’ shoulders. For untrained people, such frigid wrappings would produce uncontrolled shivering. If body temperatures continue to drop under these conditions, death can result. But it was not long before steam began rising from the sheets. As a result of body heat produced by the monks during meditation, the sheets dried in about an hour.

Dhutheeya Gaddulabaddha Sutta – Sanyuktha Nikaya

දුතීය ගද්දුලබද්ධ සූත්‍රය (ඛන්ධ සංයුක්තය – සංයුක්ත නිකාය)

දම්වැලකින් බදිනලද සුනඛයෙකු, අසල කණුවක බදින කල්හි සුනඛයාට යාමට හැකිවන්නේ සීමිත දුරකි. මෙම උපමාව පාදක කරගනිමින් මෙම සුත්‍රයට අනුව ත්‍රිමාන භෞතිකය කේන්ද්‍ර කරගනිමින් පංචේන්ද්‍රියට ගෝචර වන සංවේදන හැගීම්,දැනීම් මත පමණක් පිහිටා මනුෂ්‍යයා ලෝකය නිශ්චය කරන බවත් ලෝකය පිලිබද සියලු තීරණ, තීන්දු ගනුලබන්නේ මෙම නිර්ණායක හෝ මිනුම් මත පිහිටා බවත්. මෙම සුත්‍රයෙන් බුදුරජානණ්වහන්සේ මනාව විග්‍රහ කරඇත.

ලෝකයේ නියම යථා ස්වභාවය මැනවින් අවබෝද කරගැනීමට සිතීමේ ස්වභාවය වෙනස්කර ගත්යුතු බවත්, එය වෙනස් කරන ක්‍රමවේදයත් ඉතාමත් මැනවින් පෙන්වාදී ඇත.

How to Develop Metta(Loving-Kindness)

Ven.Chan Myay Sayadaw – Burma

The Metta Bhavana, or Development of Lovingkindness, practice is one of the most ancient forms of Buddhist practice, one that has been passed down in an unbroken line for over 2,500 years.

We’re often taught as children that we should love others. Religious teachings say, for example, that we should “love others as ourselves.” But how do we learn to love others? And what happens if we don’t particularly like, never mind love, ourselves? The development of lovingkindness meditation practice is the practical means by which we learn to cultivate love for ourselves and others.
