The moment when humans are most positive in their brains is when they are thankful.
When people are grateful, and the more grateful and deeply grateful you are, the stronger you will be, the stronger your brain will be, and the more likely you are to be most capable and motivated.
Six directions worship
"Six directions worship" is one of the meditation methods that can be done in a short time regardless of the religious view, although there are various meditation methods in the world.
It's known as " Sigalovada Sutta ".
Six directions worship is read as "Roppou Hai " in Japanese and says " thank you meditation" to the six directions of east, west, south, north, heaven (up ) , and earth ( down ).
Buddha described the Four Compass Directions as :
Parents (East),
Teachers (South),
Spouse (West),
Friends and colleagues (North),
and the two vertical directions as:
Ascetics (Up) ,
the Servants (Down).
The origin of the Six directions worship is that Shaka said, "Thank you for all the six directions."
It means "six-way worship" , but by "worshiping in six directions," we worship in the east, west, south, north, heaven, and earth.
Since worship means "to worship with gratitude," it means not just worshiping, but worshiping toward Buddha and God with a humble heart.
"Six directions worship" gratitude to east, west, south, north, heaven, and earth, but the target of gratitude has been decided in advance.
* Heading East - thank parents, ancestors and descendants.
* Heading West - thank the couple, family, brothers / sisters and relatives.
* Heading South - thank the teachers, masters, disciples, and unforgivable people.
* Heading North - thank your friends and colleagues, clients, customers, peoples who are involved in work.
* To the heavens ( Up) - thank the sun, the moon, and nature ( sky, air etc ..).
* Towards the Earth ( Down ) - thank the earth, animals, crops, plants, foods,
We will do the above while facing each direction.
First, let's face the east.
"Thank you for your ancestors, father, mother (name is OK)."
Next, let's turn to the west.
"Thank you for your brothers (names), families (couples, children, grandchildren), relatives, relatives (all by name)."
Next, let's turn to the south.
"Thank you, teacher, mentor (name)"
On the other hand, there is the word teacher, which shows a sample that you do not want to be like this, so it is OK to show gratitude to that person as well.
Next, let's turn north.
"Thank you for your friends, acquaintances, work relationships (named)"
Next, let's face the heavens (up).
"Thank you for everything about the sun, the moon, and nature, thank you always."
Next, let's face the ground (bottom).
"Thank you for the flora and fauna, crops, land and water. Thank you always."
That's it, I think it will probably take less than 5 minutes.
