Buddhist meditation is a practice aimed at developing mindfulness, concentration, and insight. It often involves focusing on the breath, observing thoughts and feelings without attachment, and cultivating a sense of inner peace. This form of meditation can help practitioners understand the nature of their minds and reduce suffering. There are various techniques within Buddhism, such as Vipassana (insight meditation) and Metta (loving-kindness meditation). Each technique serves different purposes, from enhancing awareness to fostering compassion. Regular practice can lead to greater emotional balance and a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
