taking the mind off the many distractions of thought and feeling. In focusing on breath, the practitioner learns to concentrate the mind, ignoring the many wandering thoughts, disciplining the spiritual power within, and detaching the self from entanglements.
Buddhist meditation can involve the cultivation of a lovingkindness toward all creatures; it can focus on a particular theme or idea, like the connectedness of all things; or it can focus on a simple mindfulness through counting each breath. Some Buddhists encourage visualization of the Buddha achieving enlightenment so that they can emulate his attainment. Others chant mantras or select sacred texts during meditation as a way to focus the mind and heart.
single thing, a flower, or a specific idea, breathing out negativity.
While anyone can meditate, some forms of meditation are more entrenched in Buddhist beliefs than others. For example, Tonglen meditation is a visualization practice in which a person mentally gives away all of their most cherished possessions and accomplishments while simultaneously taking on the sadness, confusion, and suffering of all beings. Metta meditation, also called loving-kindness meditation, uses repeated phrases to direct a person’s energy and thoughts in order to generate greater love and kindness for all beings. Practitioners direct phrases such as “may I be happy” or “may I be healthy and safe” at themselves, then at a person they love, then, in order, a person whom they neither like nor dislike, a person they actively dislike, and finally to all living beings. This sort of all-encompassing compassion is a central tenet of Buddhism.
While meditation is a large umbrella term that may apply in a variety of religious and non-religious environments, many people resist the introduction of Buddhist or other Eastern religious meditation traditions since they often have embedded in them essential beliefs that may be objectionable. Buddhist meditation has as its ultimate goal the awareness that there is no real self or ego. This would run counter to other religious traditions and their goals for meditation.
