According to the Chinese Buddhist monk and teacher Dong Sound, the concept of meditation was first introduced to China in the 2nd century CE by the Indian scholar-monk Xuan Gang.

Xuan Gang introduced the concept of meditation into China when he went to India to learn Buddhism.

At the time, he did not have access to any form of meditation as he came from an Eastern culture that did not recognize it.

This was before he had learned about the Buddhist concept of meditation.

Xuan Zen then introduced the concept of meditation to China, and it became a popular practice among Chinese Buddhists.

During his travels, Xuan Gang discovered that in India, people had used meditation for spiritual development and enlightenment.

When he returned to China, he spread the concept of meditation to the Chinese people.

This helped Chinese people to become more spiritual and to achieve enlightenment.

According to the Buddhist monk and teacher Dong, the concept of meditation is found in the following Buddhist scriptures.

From the Book of Supra, Chapter 13, Verse 1. The Great Treatise of the Great Compassionate One, the Buddha, the World Honored One.

In this supra, it says that meditation was used to achieve enlightenment in ancient India.

From the supra it says, “For a period of many hundreds of thousands of years, he [Buddha] remained in a concentration that was like the cool water of a clear stream that was deep and bright. He remained in that concentration for many thousands of Years, and for thousands of years, he remained in it.”

“That is the concentration of an individual.’

From the surreys, it also says that people had practiced meditation in the Buddha’s time, as well as in the time of the Buddha.

From the Great Treatise of the Sublime One, Chapter 23, Verse 6. “For many hundreds of thousands of eons, the Yamagata [Buddha] dwelled in concentration, so that his mind had no obstructions, so that he was liberated, free from greed, hatred, and delusion, and possessed of great compassion for all living beings, and so that he was liberated from birth, from becoming, from aging and death, and from the cycle of birth and death.

When Dong was in the Shaolin monastery, he met the monk and teacher Dong Ohioan and asked him to teach him the Buddhist concept of meditation and how it was used.

In the Buddhist scripture, he wrote a few words and passed them down to Dong Sound.

Xuan had also mentioned meditation in his book, Records of Buddhist Kingdoms, which is found in the chapter on the Indian monk Xuan Gang.

Dong then wrote a book called, “Meditation, the Heart of the Buddhist Teaching.”

In this book, he wrote about the Buddhist concept of the way of meditation that is used in China.

When Dong wrote this book, he did not have the idea that meditation had been used for spiritual development by the Chinese for hundreds of years.

He thought that meditation had just recently been invented in China.

The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Dong wrote about the way that the Chinese people use meditation in the form of Tai Chi Chuan.

He also explained the basic concepts of meditation in the second part of his book.

In this book called, “The Buddhist Mind,” he explained that he had been able to practice meditation and he had achieved enlightenment.

After he had practiced meditation for a long time, he achieved enlightenment and became a Buddhist scholar.
