Whether you are a long-time meditator or just beginning, it is always good to strengthen and deepen concentration, awareness, and mindfulness. Please consider refreshing and revitalizing your own practice, or recommending these options to family and friends.
Everyone can benefit from this practice. It helps free us from illusion so that we can look at ourselves with greater clarity and make appropriate changes in our lives. We become aware of the depth of selfishness and the actual intent that can motivate actions that are thought to be altruistic.
Taught by Thich nu Tinh Quang, the original techniques are for increasing your awareness and freeing yourself of painful mental habits.
You can learn the basics of meditation from books, websites and videos. However, if you're serious about pursuing a regular meditation practice, it is important to have a teacher and to sit meditation with others at least once a week; most people find it deepens the practice.
Like many aspects of Buddhism, most of us must practice meditation for a while to appreciate it. At first you might think of it primarily as mind training, and of course, it is. If you stay with the practice, however, your understanding of why you sit will change. This will be your own personal and intimate journey, and it may not resemble anyone else's experience.
