Definition of Kasina

What is Kasina?

Kasina is an object used for practicing meditation. The method of practicing is gazing at the Kasina device and closing one’s eyes alternatively. There are 10 Kasina devices:

A. Element Kasina

1. the Earth Kasina
2. the Water Kasina
3. the Fire Kasina
4. the Wind Kasina

B. the Colour Kasina

5. the Blue Kasina
6. the Yellow Kasina
7. the Red Kasina
8. the White Kasina

C. Other Kasina

9. the Light Kasina
10. the Space Kasina

How to practice …

1. Clear the surrounding and note that there aren’t any objects in front of you.

2. Place the colour Kasina device in front of the clean wall at eye-level when you sit in front of it by making a space for 1 meter 10 centimeters. Make sure that the device is not too close to the wall when gazing at night.

3. Gaze at the middle of colour Kasina device about 10 -15 seconds and close your eyes about 5 – 10 seconds alternatively to hold the image of Kasina in your mind as long as you can. Repeat its colour in mind as a prayer while you are gazing at the device and figuring the image out.

4. When the image disappears, open your eyes to gaze at the colour Kasina device again.

5. Try to imagine the image of Kasina and control it to be the original colour of the Kasina device for example: when gazing at the red Kasina device, the image in your mind would be green. You should try to change it from green to red.

6. When the image of Kasina is changed from green to red. Stop gazing at the Kasina device or don’t open your eyes to gaze it again. Practice to control the red image to be bigger or smaller or move it around according to your power.

That is successful. It is the way to get your powered-mind to eliminate defilements and craving.

Outstanding Remark

The principle of gazing at the Kasina device is repeating the name of the particular one in mind. There are 4 suggested colour Kasina devices: red, green, yellow and white.

If you gaze at the red one, repeat” Red… Red… Red… ” in your mind.

If you gaze at the green one, repeat” Green…Green…Green…” in your mind.

If you gaze at the yellow one, repeat” Yellow…Yellow…Yellow…” in your mind.

If you gaze at the white one, repeat” White…White…White…” in your mind.

Repeat its colour in mind as a prayer while you are gazing at the device and figuring the image out. Even though you imagine the opposite sign in your mind, you are suggested to repeat it until you recall the real image. Then, practice to move, enlarge and make it smaller. Practice gazing at the colour Kasina device everyday – at least 15 minutes in the morning and in the evening or whenever you are convenient to do. You have to practice gazing at it skillfully until you can imagine the real image whenever you practice meditation without the Kasina device.
