Concluding Remarks

Practicing meditation in concentration and observation will purify one"s mind through many stages and gradually free one from the bondage of a conceptual framework. It is concepts, which blur one"s natural and direct experiences. A practitioner of Buddhist meditation will gradually sense the original purity of Limitless Oneness. Through the cultivation of such awareness and purity of mind, one spontaneously devotes his life to service aiming at the ultimate well being of all beings; and his activities are naturally infused with a spirit of compassion and tolerance. With more and more people renewing their lives in this way, the world will become a better place for all to share.

Practicing meditation is like planting a tree from the very beginning; its usefulness is not apparent in the beginning. May all who are interested in practicing Buddhist meditation diligently practice it on a daily basis, sustain the effort throughout their lives, and consequently enjoy refreshed and peaceful lives.
