Description edit
What is Meditation?
Meditation is at the heart of the Kadampa Buddhist way of life. It is a method for gaining a deeper understanding of the nature and function of our mind and the relationship between our mind and our experiences. If we are able to gain control over our mind through regular meditation practice, we shall be able to abandon the negative mental states that destroy our happiness and instead maintain the positive mental states that increase our inner peace.
Firstly we learn how to identify the many negative states of mind, or 'delusions', that repeatedly destroy our inner peace and happiness. Then, through training in meditation, we gradually begin to overcome these harmful minds and replace them with peaceful and positive mental states, or 'virtuous' minds.
Once we arise from meditation, we then try to maintain whatever virtuous mind we have developed and begin to use wisdom to solve the problems of our daily life.
As our inner peace and clarity improve, our actions will naturally become more constructive and beneficial to others, and we will come to experience a life of great meaning and contentment. We shall then be able to share this experience with everyone we meet.
