Meditation for Peace

      A Treasure that Cannot Be Bought 

     World peace through inner happiness is less costly than any war, and its result is more effective and enduring. Fighting a war requires an immense budget, equipment and the sacrifice of human lives.

 

 

      Conversely, the attaining of inner happiness does not cost us anything. There are no weapons used. It only requires us to defeat the true enemy: the defilements – the root of all suffering, animosity and conflicts of the world. By meditating and concentrating the pure energy within our focused mind at the centre of our body, we can eliminate the defilements.

 

     The energy we create is powerful enough to wash away mental blemishes and bring forth a clean, clear and awakened mind. Once our minds are pure, our thoughts, speech and actions will be pure too, and our inner happiness will radiate outwards to our fellowmen and to the world. We will have the strength to abstain from killing, hurting others, stealing, infidelity, lying, drinking, smoking and abusing drugs. When we find our Body of Enlightenment, good moral behavior  will come easily.

 

    When the good in us is magnified and the defilements extinguished at the source, wars, anger and hatred will no longer plague humanity. We each have a role to play in saving the world. Consider this as a very inexpensive investment that requires minimum effort yet yields maximum benefit. We do not have to expend any money. Simply close the eyes gently and relax. Still the mind and good things will come. It is time for us now to join hand in hand to achieve world peace, the most precious treasure of humanity.
