Meditation is simply a method of training our mind to become peaceful. When our mind is peaceful we free ourselves from worries and mental discomfort and we allow true happiness to arise. The ultimate purpose of meditation is to develop our capacity to help others.

Many of us lead very busy lives, and finding the space to turn inwards and meditate each day can be a struggle in itself. But meditation allows us to recover our strength, collect our thoughts and to see things in perspective. With a peaceful mind, we are then far more likely to find solutions to our problems and respond constructively without loss of heart.
