An Open Heart

it is a basic understanding of Buddhism and some of the key methods by which Buddhist practitioners have cultivated compassion and wisdom in their lives. Meditation is merely the process whereby we gain control over the mind the guide it in a more virtuous direction. Yet the techniques do not lead to enlightenment or a compassionate and ope heart. This is up to you, and the effort and motivation you bring to your spiritual practice.
