MEDITATION


One regret dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.
Hafiz




Indeed, one of the goals of meditation is the “mindful state,” which is awareness of objects, mind-states, and physical states but not attachment to them. Buddhism puts a great emphasis on empirical understanding of the world, through meditation and through observation, and the “mindful state” is one which recognizes distractions and attachments, and acknowledges them, in order to achieve awareness of one’s true nature.
