Benefits of meditation practice

  1. It will show you the way to true wisdom. You will get to know the difference between reality and mirage.
  2. It will teach you to remain calm in any situation.
  3. It encourages deeper understanding of yourself and others. Thus you will follow your chosen path with more precision. It will be easier for you to stand up for yourself and, therefore, your relationships with others will improve.
  4. Meditation develops intuition—a capacity to understand and foresee.
  5. It will teach you what is true enjoyment and how to really enjoy. As a result you will gradually stop injuring yourself with work, relationships, gluttony. You will stop imagining that pain is pleasure and/or responsibility.
  6. Meditation is the only way to become friends with stress, enjoy it, and use it for your benefit—all without overexertion.
  7. Most diseases stem from the discord between mind and body. Meditation will bring your body, mind, emotions and spirit, etc., i.e., all of the many facets of human existence, into harmony like a symphony orchestra.
  8. The most important lesson meditation teaches us is that our home—our beautiful universe—is changeable (impermanent) by its very nature. You will begin to understand, appreciate and make peace with the passing show of this world.
