Although Buddhism is an ancient religion that first appeared in the East, Buddha's teachings on how to find real happiness and peace are timeless.
Meditation is at the heart of Buddhist philosophy and training.
It is the means by which we can bring our lives under control and achieve real peace and happiness. Through regular meditation we are able to benefit both ourselves and others. Meditation is a method for acquainting our mind with virtue. The more familiar our mind is with virtue, the calmer and more peaceful it becomes. When our mind is peaceful we are free from worries and mental discomfort, and we experience true happiness.
