True Buddhist Teachings
In the forest a monk can learn to contemplate the nature of things he can live in contentment and peace. As he looks around he understand that all forms of life generate and eventually dies. Nothing that exist is permanent. And when he realize this he begin to become serine. Monks are content to live with little. They do only what they need. They sleep when it is only necessary. They are satisfied with what they have. This is the foundation of Buddhist meditation. Buddhist monks does not practice meditation for selfish reasons, but in order to know and understand themselves. And this allow them to teach others how to live peacefully and wisely. Still monks life are far from ease. He works to free his hearts in order to feel the loving and kindness that embraces everything.
Our mind is peaceful like a leaf which does not move when there is no wind blow. If the wind come the leaf flutter. The fluttering is due to the wind. The fluttering of mind is due to those sense and pleasure that mind follows. If it does not follow it does not flutter. If we know the true nature of sense and pleasure we remain unconcern by them. Meditation is to see the origin of the mind. So meditation train the mind to know the sense and pleasure and not get lost in them. Which will make it peaceful.
