Meditation

The Path to Wisdom and Happiness

LIST OF SAMPLE MEDITATIONS

"The point of Buddhist meditation is not to stop thinking,
for cultivation of insight clearly requires intelligent use of thought and discrimination.
What needs to be stopped is conceptualization that is
compulsive, mechanical and unintelligent,
that is, activity that is always fatiguing, usually pointless, and at times seriously harmful"

Allan Wallace
