METHODS meditation retreats .
The ultimate goal, the most noble of man is to become a Buddha. But not everyone is "is nature" and are also becoming a Buddha sitting in meditation at all. However, of the Buddha sitting in meditation is the only way to be holy and compassionate place. That is the way of the Buddhas. Education is helping people, whether scientific, technical or moral, learning and reasoning to develop intelligence, knowledge, personality, independence and social service. Education is held, stored, Meditation is letting go, detachment. Although there are different methods, but the general direction is: towards truth, goodness, beauty. But the purpose of education is to help people become highly cultured, dignified; Buddhist Meditation also of the people led to the ultimate wisdom, compassion, the Enlightenment. Also meditate everyday applications in order to form a spiritual habits become unconscious personality helped practitioners have a flexible body, a form filling is best prepared to be ready to receive the good roots good seed development. For those who are devout Buddhists, with the regular teacher to contemplate the four foundations of mindfulness, become customary to the unity, the author example: "fame and sex ..." is only a noun concept , the status of a lesser evil body, a much longer cling consciousness, and it is meaningless, is nothing worth sinking attachment. Thus, no bridges meditation is understandable. Saying so does not mean that in real life can not meditate. Because the Buddha says: "Buddhism in the world, combining the world cup." In addition to the world out there is no Buddha, the Buddha resides in the world, the Buddha resides in us. Also have no enlightenment, Zen is located in real life as wear, eat, garden hoes, vegetables, walking, standing, lying, sitting meditation are both. Letting go means the right to practice their religion in daily life but still detachment, not attachment to the spirit of selfless, centrifugal exhaust difference, eradicate evil binary file ... Thus, new meditation become super Vietnam . Despite the fact that sitting in meditation is hard work but if you do not meditate, the practice has no experience become unconscious personality, not only take that practice but the will itself which is now already. So in education, if the application brought by the Buddhist theory of karma through the practice of meditation coordinates, the self-cultivation, that is self-interested efforts strive to form such wholesome seed : voluntary initiative, honesty innocence, perseverance focused, methodical ... there is a huge extremely meaningful. Perhaps, that is the purpose of the strategic significance of education. The meditate regularly, on method, not interrupt, do not leave and the secret of success, even just 20 minutes a day for a lifetime; then for the students, the students and those who do scientific and technical work is enough and there is real value to transform body and mind. The body becomes sensitive, with a mind filled peer knowledge, intuition, clarity, wisdom. Grasp the great significance of the theory of karma in Buddhism and meditation practice inner self, meditate daily, if the application is brought to people who do intellectual work is a tremendous career, especially for pupils, students and the work of science and the arts. It's actually become career of an entire people.

That's not enough to express the great effectiveness of meditation in education or what?
