How do Buddhists calm their mind and focus?
They go to temples and sit down at focus on all the great things in life. Meditation and mindfulness. When we are stressed, agitated or otherwise not calm, we go back to simple meditation on the breath to slow our agitated minds down. We acknowledge to ourselves that we are stressed, or agitated, etc and once we are calm we become mindful of what triggered the event and our reaction to it. We investigate it fully and come to the realization that this is all temporary and probably normal. That realization relieves us of the suffering associated with the event. I practice Chan or Zen Buddhism by mediation. We focus on are breath and let go of thoughts. when a thought comes into the mind we clear it out. thoughts will fill you mind. I can explain its like when your in rim sleep your focused and there is kind of a darkness this is when the mind is at its clearest. So you train to focus on letting everything go. We train to not use ear focus, eye focus, smell focus, and touch focus. These lead to the mind wondering from mediation and are also causes of suffering in ones life.
