'Meditation is the art of getting to know one's own mind; getting to know one's own mental and emotional states; getting to know oneself more and more deeply.
'It is on the basis of this self-knowledge that we can begin to encourage the awareness and kindness that will bring a sense of richness and fulfilment to our lives, and from which compassionate action can spring.'
From 'Change your Mind - A Practical Guide to Buddhist Meditation' by Paramananda.
Read all about how meditation is woven throughout everything we do, from intensive meditation retreats, to meditating with your children, and to meditating at the Buddhafield Festival.
