How to Meditate

Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances.

By training in meditation, we create an inner space and clarity that enables us to control our mind

The first stage of meditation is to stop distractions and make our mind clearer and more lucid.

So much of the stress and tension we normally experience comes from our mind

If we appreciate the great potential of this life we shall not waste it

We need to meditate on love, compassion….
and develop and maintain a good heart towards all living beings.

Geshe Kelsang explains that we all have the potential to gain realizations of the twenty-one Lamrim meditations.

There are three essential preparations for successful meditation: purifying negativities, accumulating merit, and receiving blessings.

By training in meditation eventually we shall be able to maintain a peaceful mind continuously, throughout our life.

If we want to colour our mind with a virtuous motivation we need to clear away all our negative thoughts and distractions.

All living beings deserve to be cherished because of the tremendous kindness they have shown us.

The mere fact that we are alive today is a testimony to the great kindness of others.

Everyone who contributes in any way towards our happiness and well-being is deserving of our gratitude.

Our spiritual development and the pure happiness of full enlightenment also depend upon the kindness of living beings.
