What they do in
meditation ?
In meditation, the buddhists
try to reach nirvara . Nirvara
is breacking out of the cycle of
birth, life , death , and
rebirth. They also believe
that if someone gains
Elightment when they die,
they will be reborn .
Meditation means training the
mind to empty it of all
thoughts . It also means to
concentrate and relax .
History of meditation
Meditation is a sport of
concentration. Masters of yoga
can stay hours just setting
there. There are many symbols
of meditation, there are also
hand mocions. The way that
most people set in meditation is
with your legs crossed and your
hands on your knes.One of the
way that you make the hands is
to cross your middle finger with
your thoumb. The one that
envented meditation is the
buddha. He could go to the
depest corners of his mind!
