What is Meditation?
Meditation is a technique to actively train the mind during dedicated, independent, purposeful training sessions to eliminate unwholesome qualities of the mind and/or cultivate wholesome qualities of the mind in the positions of seated, lying, standing, or walking.
How Can Meditation Help Me?
Meditation is an important technique that will assist in training the mind to completely eliminate 100% of all discontent feelings such as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, boredom, loneliness, shyness, jealousy, resentment, stress, anxiety, etc so that you can attain Enlightenment.
What is Enlightenment?
Enlightenment is a mental state attainable during this life, or at death, where the mind will be peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy - permanently.
The mind will have eliminated 100% of all discontent feelings such as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, boredom, loneliness, shyness, jealousy, resentment, stress, anxiety, etc.
The mind will have a high degree of focus, concentration, memory, and clarity of mind. The mind will be stable, steady, and unshakable. Your personal and professional relationships will be blossoming and completely harmonious.
What is The Path to Enlightenment?
The Path to Enlightenment is a purification of the mind by training the mind, reaching a point where the mind experiences only peacefulness, calmness, serenity, and contentedness with joy - the Enlightened mind.
The Path to Enlightenment is the solution to the challenges you experience in the world, and the solutions of how to heal from what hurt you so that you never need to hurt again.
This is accomplished through learning, growing, and evolving to cultivate wisdom of how to train the mind, not through belief. There are no rites, rituals, ceremonies, worship, or prayer in The Teachings of The Buddha.
