Meditation for Beginners
In the Pali language, 'natthi santiparam sukham' means
'there is no happiness other than the peace of mind' The happiness that one
cannot explain with words is the happiness that arises from a still mind in
meditation. The attainment of inner happiness is something that everyone can do
if we give ourselves the opportunity. Does truth exist? Does true happiness exist? We
can discover the answer to these questions and then share them with the world.
The first step is to search for the truth. Meditation and
clarify the mind. When we do so, happiness will be within reach. It is like
when we are about to learn a foreign language. We must forget our native language to
learn the new. Study the subject of life in the same manner. You will discover
the many benefits of meditation.
This knowledge is the universal knowledge that everyone has
the right to learn. We must seek the answers within ourselves, by ourselves. We
will be both the student and the teacher. The library of true knowledge is
within us. It can be accessed by closing your eyes and expanding the mind. If
you search for the answer, you will find it.
Therefore, if people in the world temporarily forget their
differences in religion, personal beliefs, traditions, customs, or cultures,
and allow their minds to open, they can begin practising meditation and
reaching true inner happiness. There are many religious followers who have
opened their mind to the practice of meditation.
Their perception of the world
evolved from one of suffering to indescribable happiness. More and more people,
adults and children, are beginning to experience this as they open their minds
and follow the right principles.
