Buddhist meditation is one of the key factors in Buddhism relevant to one’s own development of wisdom.  Generosity (dāna), purity (sīla) and cultivation of mind or meditation (bhāvanā) are three important steps to be practiced in Buddhist spiritual life.  One who follows the path of Buddhist meditation will enjoy a serene, peaceful and calm life by developing one’s own inner peace, being eventually capable of expanding outer peace or peace in the world. Besides that, Buddhist meditation helps maintain excellent mental and physical health. In the Visuddhimagga and many other Buddhist texts very clear road maps are provided to cultivate Mindfulness or Vipassanā meditation that surely change one’s own destiny in life.

The Vipassanā meditation is a key method of Buddhist meditation.

The practice of Vipassanā or Mindfulness meditation certainly will change one’s own destiny and daily attitudes in a positive manner by bringing harmony, serenity, and inner-peace in due course time.
