Hunkalove,since you mentioned meditation,and now Buddha's words,I presume you're well informed about Buddhism. I know what Buddhism is generally about but I never studied it in depth so I'm not that informed. The thing that I was always curious about is meditation. In what way does meditation lead to enlightenment? I always thought of it as just letting yourself be,calming your mind and feeling the energy flow right through you while trying to empty your mind from everyday worries and trivial things by simply focusing on your breath. We humans usually learn from experience and our awareness expands by experiencing both good and bad things,but how does not thinking about anything bring you more understanding of this universe we live in?
I would really appreciate the response and perhaps you could suggest me some literature as well?
