	Buddhist Meditation and Personal Construct Psychology
		This Buddhist doctrine expresses the transitory nature of all things, the undeniable fact that all objects, concepts, indeed everything in the world, is ever-changing and impermanent (the suffering associated with bereavement, for example, is caused by an emotional attachment to individuals without accepting the fact of the impermanence of life).
		This Buddhist doctrine of the non-existence of the self, or anatta, is important to understand; for the self, or rather the illusion of self, is the primary factor which keeps individuals in the cycle of suffering.
		Though concentrative meditation aims at the cessation of all mental processes (leading to a direct experience of reality due to the purification of the sense organs), the general goal of meditation appears to be an awareness of one's mental contents; mindfulness meditation in particular encourages a detached observation of every emergent mental process.

	Buddhist Meditation Info
		Meditation usually refers to a state in which the body is consciously relaxed and the mind is allowed to become calm and focused.
		Meditation can be done with the eyes closed (as long as one does not fall asleep), or with the eyes open: focusing the eyes on a certain point of an object or image, and keeping the eyes constantly looking at that point.
		This form of meditation is often found in Hindu and Buddhist traditions (especially the Pure Land and Theravada schools), as well as in Christianity (Gregorian chant, for example), Jewish Kabbalah, and in some modern metaphysical schools.

	Buddhist Meditation
		The Buddhist embarking on a course of meditation does well to recognize this difference and to establish in his own conscious mind a clear idea of what it is he is trying to do.
		The purpose of Buddhist meditation, therefore, is to gain more than an intellectual understanding of this truth, to liberate ourselves from the delusion and thereby put an end to both ignorance and craving.
		If the meditation does not produce results tending to this consummation -- results that are observable in the character and the whole attitude to life -- it is clear that there is something wrong either with the system or with the method of employing it.

	Meditation Handbook
		Meditation is on the road to becoming a real science, however, and not just an intuitive art veiled in mystery.

	Buddhist Meditation
		Meditations in the Hinayana and Mahayana stress the psychological side, the calming of mental activities and the development of insight.
		But in the Vajrayâna, meditation takes into account mind and body as mind and energy are both required for Tantric practice (here energy represents the body) it is necessary in the meditations of Mahayana and Vajrayâna that the posture of the body be well composed.
		In deep meditation we may meet this ego, which we must then uproot through the doctrine of sunyata (realization of its void-ness); it would be difficult either to meet or destroy something which one believes does not exist at least in a conditioned way.

		The meditator gradually improve his perception of the three marks of existence until he reaches the step sensations constantly disappear, which is called bhaṅgānupassanā ñāṇa (Sanskrit: bhaṅgānupaśyanājñāna), knowledge of dissolution.

	The Real Values of True Buddhist Meditation
		Meditation is inseparable from the development of the power of mind towards Samadhi and the intimate study of what is true of nature towards the realization of the Truth.
		As the course of meditation progresses, the student comes to the realization that there is no substantiality in his so-called self, and there is no such thing as the core of a being.
		He then emerges out of meditation with a new outlook--egoless and selfless--alive to the fact that whatever happens in this Universe is subject to the fundamental laws of cause and effect.
