The goal of Meditation
Q: What is the goal of meditation?
A: well, the goal of meditation is 'To achieve Attainment of Final Nibbāna, that means the attainment of Ultimate Peace or happiness or liberation from all kinds of suffering called Dukkha.
However, in my experience with meditation for more than two decades, it has guided me how to live skillfully and quite happily and harmoniously with the rest of the world by understanding things as they truly are with lessening and reducing mistakes. Buddhist Meditation is actually being mindful of whatever we act, whatever we speak and whatever we think at every moment.
Therefore, you can see that there is nothing to do with any religious faith or belief. Believing in anything, when you do this meditation, you will see that there will be nothing to conflict between your religious faith and Buddhist meditation practice. Buddhist Meditation will never tell anyone to quit one's faith or to convert you to Buddhism.
It is not the interest of the Buddha either. However, it keeps reminding you 'Be aware, be mindful of whatever you do' so that you can lessen your physical, vocal and mental mistakes. It is the most important part of human life, isn't it? Therefore, you can see now that Buddhist meditation practice provides us how we should live in everyday's life while carrying your own religious faith in your heart.
Even if a Buddhist who takes the faith in their triple gems, doesn't practice this meditation, I believe that they will not be able to lessen their mistakes. If they are not able to lessen their mistakes in deeds, in words and thoughts, how can they be happy with quite many mistakes? Whey you really have achieved perfect mindfulness, you will be very hard to do mistakes in deeds, in words and in thoughts.
It is a visible result from meditation practice. It is also a visible goal you can experience and can achieve. Of course, there will be quite a lot of benefits you will see yourself when you take this meditation in a quite serious retreat just being mindful of whatever you think, whatever you speak and whatever act.
You will see how your life quality and standard of your behaviors are developed just by being aware of everything. It is a very pragmatic approach to the method of Buddhist meditation and very scientific. See the goal is there if you start walking. I hope you get.
Q: Well, thank you so much sir. Now, you open our door of wisdom on Buddhism. We will spend with you hours and hours listening to your wise talk on Buddhism.
A: you're all very welcome.
