Meditation occupies a central role in the Buddhist path of Ethics, Meditation, and Wisdom.
As the Dhammapada, one of the earliest and most poetic of the Buddhist texts, says: “Our life is the creation of our minds”, since “Experiences are preceded by mind, led by mind, and produced by mind”
Meditation is a powerful tool for changing our relationship with ourselves and the world. In meditation we use the mind to work directly on the mind, gently becoming aware of ingrained mind-habits and learning how to let them change, freeing us from grooves that have maybe kept us trapped for years.
