"In our modern world, we are consumed from morning till night with endless activity. We do not have much time or energy left to consider the basic causes of our happiness or suffering. We imagine, more or less consciously, that if we undertake more activities we will have more intense experiences and therefore our sense of dissatisfaction will fade away. But the truth is that many of us continue to feel let down and frustrated by our contemporary lifestyle." M Ricard.

Meditation is commonly described as training of mental attention that awakens us beyond the conditioned mind and habitual thinking. Many times our mind is simultaneously confused, agitated, rebellious, and subject to countless automatic patterns. The goal of meditation is not to shut down the mind or anesthetize it, but rather to make it free, lucid, and balanced.
Training the mind is important if we want to refine and sharpen our attention, develop emotional balance, inner peace, and wisdom; as well as cultivating concern for the welfare of others. The goal of meditation is to transform the mind. Every one of us has a mind and every one of us can work with it.

“When we speak about meditation, it is important to know that this is not some weird cryptic activity, as our popular culture might name it. It does not involve becoming some kind of zombie, vegetable, self-absorbed narcissist, navel gazer, “space cadet”, cultist, devotee, mystic or Eastern philosopher.
Practice it, don’t make it weird!”
