Reading
The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is
peaceful we shall be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we shall
experience true happiness. By training in meditation we can gradually learn to
stay peaceful all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances. If we
practice meditation we will experience a calm, spacious feeling in the mind, and
many of our usual problems will fall away. Difficult situations will become
easier to deal with, we will naturally feel warm and well disposed towards other
people, and our relationships with others will gradually improve. Kadampa
