Meditation
This community supports and practice early Buddhist meditative training methodology and practices originally taught by the Buddha. He called it harmonious endeavor or traditionally known as "right effort", The 5th element in the Buiddha´s 8-fold path. This approach to meditation is unlke any other meditation technique commonly practiced today. This forumla can be applied to diverse objects of meditation including breath and phyical sensations. In his discourses, the Buddha taught how this harmonious endeavor acts upon the central nervous system to decondition the causes of anxiety, fear, and stress that result in unhappiness and suffering. The goal is to cultivate contentment and ease in every moment of our lives.
