The False Concentration

The False Concentration

 

 

The False Concentration has the opposite meaning of the Right Concentration.  The False Concentration is one stands his mind in wrong place or on wrong things.  It has been described many places in the Tripitaka.  It is different from the Right Concentration that person who does the False Concentration will have the distracted mind.  It is the state of mind going out of the physical body and thinking of anything about the five sensual objects which are appearance, taste, smell, sound and touch.  So the False Concentration fills one’s mind with the sensual pleasure, can not lessen the defilements – lust, anger and delusion –  and is not the way to reach Nirvana.
