This is from a speech given by HH the Dalai Lama, which I have listened to and it very powerful, helpful and advantageous. He started off talking about the levels of the mind. He stressed on the fact that we primarily have a unawareness of what really is reality and that reality is not as firm as it appears to us. What is reality, we perceive differently on each level of mind. Take into consideration how you look at things once you are awake, which is the beta state of mind. When you are very relaxed, which is the alpha state, you see things a bit clearer. When you meditate, you are in the theta state, the reality becomes distinctive. You will understand things a lot more subjective and clearer, which will bring you internal peacefulness.
HH the Dalia Lama sees considerable importance in having a calm mind. When a person is peaceful, he is more satisfied. This you can only achieve, if you meditate regularly.
He warned that we should not put all our desires on money and material things. You can be prosperous, but miserable. You can be poor and mentally happy. You need to have friends to be happy. If you are not loyal yourself, you will not trust others and so you will have no valid friends.
See worth in knowledge. There are travellers, who are not travelling to get knowledge, but because they have a deep hollowness and so they are hunting for padding this gap. Their travelling is more of a distress but not seeking knowledge. Envision education to grow inside, to not feel empty.
If you meditate, you will attain a higher understanding and inner calmness. While you meditate you stay conscious, but you don’t utilize your five senses. In this state you can into direct contact with your unconscious mind, which is the mind of the universe. Meditation is a means to give commands to your unconcious mind. HH the Dalai Lama says that while you meditate you can focus on something targeted as for example compassion.
You should think to start to meditate because of a number of effects. If you meditate regularly, let us say thirty minutes every day, you become healthier, which is scientifically proven. If you meditate daily, you will need less sleep and you will get far more than 30 minutes a day back. If you often feel negative emotions, you will become unhealthy. If you meditate, you will see things more subjective and so you will not have negative emotions.
Through meditation you will gain inner calmness. Your relation with others will become more gentle, more peaceful. Your ability of awareness will become more stable and more powerful. Meditation decreases worry. It is the inner peace and the capacity to see things more subjectively, tension will cut down and you will work more efficiently. Quite anything in your life will be improved.
If you meditate, you see the reality more objectively, more clearly. You have to be active, but you will know better what is right for you to do. Anger and panic are negative emotions. Those feelings are self-destructive. If you are often filled with anger or fear, you will lose friends and get sick. Anger and fear will go away, because of the clarity of your mind. With meditation you can train your mind, and you will detach from anger and fear and become calm and more fulfilled.
Be active intellectually, but also physically. Suffering as in sports can bring mental bliss. If you are active, avoid from effecting pain to yourself and to others. We all need to act. If you meditate, you will not think of negative actions, but of actions that benefit not only you but also others.
