Buddhism is a path of practice and spiritual development leading to Insight into the true nature of life. Buddhist practices such as meditation are means of changing oneself in order to develop the qualities of awareness, kindness, and wisdom. The experience developed within the Buddhist tradition over thousands of years has created an incomparable resource for all those who wish to follow a path -- a path which ultimately culminates in Enlightenment or Buddhahood.
Because Buddhism does not include the idea of worshipping a creator God, some people do not see it as a religion in the normal, Western sense. The basic tenets of Buddhist teaching are straightforward and practical: nothing is fixed or permanent; actions have consequences; change is possible. Thus Buddhism addresses itself to all people irrespective of race, nationality, or gender. It teaches practical methods (such as meditation) which enable people to realise and utilise its teachings in order to transform their experience, to be fully responsible for their lives and to develop the qualities of Wisdom and Compassion.
There are around 350 million Buddhists and a growing number of them are Westerners. They follow many different forms of Buddhism, but all traditions are characterised by non-violence, lack of dogma, tolerance of differences, and, usually, by the practice of meditation .
After attending introduction to meditation classes at the Birmingham Buddhist Centre for a little over one year in 2014/15, and sitting and listening to this wonderful gentleman Saraha enriched my life so profoundly, even today in 2019 I am still realising certain experiences that Saraha spoke about that I would not have noticed had it not been for these weekly group meetings, I am excited to learn that Saraha is visiting the Birmingham centre again very soon and looking forward to listening to him once again.Thank you Saraha
Let the game, begin!
This is good. Thank you.
I agree with you. The world would be a far happier and simpler place if there were more Buddhists.
Thank you for this video.
Wonderful video
good question... we hadn't planned it so were thinking on our feet... also meditation does start with an idea to meditate, might go beyond thinking but thought, preff rational thought, is for most people a starting point and needs to remain alive and steering our efforts.
Wonderful :-)
im going to try it/ im a gardener and find my work calming but im looking for a closer bond with the living plants around me
Why did you start a video on meditation with "I think". :)
