Meditation

The supreme goal of meditation in Buddhism is to reach the state of non-ego–non-self, liberation, and enter Nirvana. Through meditation, the Buddha became a Perfectly Enlightened One.

Meditation concentrates our minds, making them calm, mindful, and free of delusions. It especially helps destroy our egos and ignorance to attain liberation and enlightenment.

This training material is based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness of Theravada Buddhism, in which the ultimate end is the state of non-self.

Zen instructors must strictly follow the order of this material to help new practitioners get started on the right path and achieve good results without adverse effects.

I hope all Buddhists diligently practice meditation, achieve pure and calm minds, and increase their merits. Together, we can walk on the path toward liberation and enlightenment.
