Buddhism Meditation: Bringing Up And Clearing Up

PREFACE We are living in a busy and turbulent world, where stress and anxiety easily invade the mind. Meditation, a concept that is no longer strange, has been mentioned in many schools of thought and religions around the world. From the quiet prayer in Christianity, the meditation of Taoism, the Sufism of Islam, to Dhyana in Hinduism, each tradition has its own approach. However, meditation is still considered a characteristic forte of Buddhism, with countless highly enlightened Zen masters culminating in the Arhats who have attained complete non-self (Anatman).
