To meditate is to familiarise our mind constantly and thoroughly with a virtuous object.
The best way to meditate is through meditation itself.
Meditation is to get insight, to get understanding and compassion, and when you have them, you are compelled to act.
Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence.
Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness. It's like the ultimate rest. It's better than the best sleep you've ever had. It's a quieting of the mind. It sharpens everything, especially your appreciation of your surroundings. It keeps life fresh.
Meditation is about getting to a place where you're approaching things in a more calm, centering place rather than allowing yourself to get caught up in it.
Practice meditation regularly. Meditation leads to eternal bliss. Therefore meditate, meditate.
One way to look at meditation is as a kind of intrapsychic technology that's been developed over thousands of years by traditions that know a lot about the mind/body connection.
Meditation means keeping one mind. You must understand - what is life? What is death? If you keep one mind, there is no life, no death. Then if you die tomorrow, no problem; if you die in five minutes, no problem.
Meditation is the life of the soul: Action, the soul of meditation; and honor the reward of action.
