When monks decided to go into Tudong and cultivate, they experience many weird things. Some monks when medidate and gain unusual strenght in their citta, they will usually get sick, a fever. But they never find a medicine for it but let the teachings of dharma cure it. Gradually as time goes by, the fever is cured and his cultivation go to a whole a new level.
So each time in his meditation, he will go search and experience pain and understand the source of it, each time learning so and each time gaining a whole new insight on his medidation. As time goes by, the monk no longer seek to cure himself but only focus on the meditation itself and understand the illness or pain as it is a test for him.
A dying person saw a monk and immediately sit up, such a person deserve our admiration because even though the iintense pain on him, he still manage to make a effort to show his manners.
A sick person who dont even make an attempt to help himself get cured whose death is not even worthy to a dog's death.
What is making us so is the laziness that is weighting our hearts down, we have to ourself make an effort to cure.

What is important for a beginner is you must be able to still your body. Experience the calmness and clarity.When calmness and clarity is brought from within your heart, it brings out the mindfullness and wisdom which will then help you eliminate your kilesas and should your heart then be able to be disturbed by physical pain or mentally pain.
Ever heard of "Dharma Remedy"?Edited by cheskiz 30 Nov `07, 11:42AM
