The Benefits
Our mind is always abiding, but where does it abide? The purpose of meditation is to place our mind in a calm and peaceful state. This mental state decreases the negative effects of stress, anxiety, and depression. Through meditation we gradually become more relaxed and able to control our emotions; even under difficult circumstances. Through systematic training we can dissolve the delusions that cause our suffering and achieve a liberating happiness called nirvana.
