Why meditate?

What is the purpose of meditation? Why should we bother sitting quietly on a cushion when there are so many other important and interesting things to do? And how can just sitting quietly ever help to make the world a better place?

If you are curious to explore these questions, this teaching is for you!

This teaching is an extract from a weekend of teachings given by Patrick Gaffney, entitled The Freedom of Awareness — A Complete Introduction to Meditation Practice

A perfect way to deepen your study and practice of meditation!
