When someone would like to seek for a good place to meditate effectively, it depends on many factors which are residence, food, people and meditation place.

This kind of meditation places would make you happy both physically and mentally and you can attain the real inner peace easily.

The meditation places have to be quiet, shady, cool and pleasant which will support the practitioners to be calm and peaceful easily. About the residence, it would not be too extravagant, too comfortable and inconvenient. It would be free of all kinds of paths to ruins. And the food should be provided to the practitioners well. Like the Lord Buddha’s teaching about the Four Conveniences which are
    The convenience of place:    good residence, well location and good atmosphere
    The convenience of people:    surrounding with good people who make you happy
    The convenience of food:    clean, delicious and enough food
    The convenience of Dhamma:    the right practice which fits to the practitioner
