Hi All,

Use Static boolean variable because static variable always maintain its state. 
Create one public class with static boolean variable "True". 

Use below link for more details

Because each time a trigger is invoked - the standard boolean variable get's re-created and instansatiated with each call of the trigger.  By using a static variable, in an outside class - the variable retains it state throughout the entire invocation stack.
