About Meditation
We all have moments each day when we enjoy simply being alive, yet we fail to savour the fullness of this ordinary delight. We notice an apparent conflict between our innate ability to love and the suffering, confusion, and materialism in the world. To understand this experience more clearly, it helps to uncover the natural wisdom and compassion of our heart. Enlightened society is not a utopia or myth. It is the fundamental insight that secular and spiritual aspects of life are never separate from each other. That insight is cultivated every day through the practice of mindfulness and awareness, whereby we tame our wild minds and open our hearts. Through the practice of mindfulness and awareness we tame our wild minds and open our hearts. Then we see that secular and spiritual aspects of life are never separate from each other and enlightened society is possible. With this realization we bring an awakened heart to the challenge of alleviating suffering of all kinds in the world.
 | Often we think about meditation as some kind of unusual holy or spiritual activity. As we practice, that is one of the basic beliefs we try to overcome. The point is that meditation is completely normal: it is the mindful quality present in everything we do. - Sakyong Miphan Rinpoche
