Meditation is a method for acquainting our mind with virtue. The more
familiar our mind is with virtue, the calmer and more peaceful it
becomes. When our mind is peaceful we are free from worries and mental
discomfort, and we experience pure happiness. If we train our mind to
become peaceful we shall be happy all the time, even in the most adverse
conditions. But if our mind is not peaceful, then even if we have the
most pleasant external conditions we shall not be happy. Therefore it is
important to train our mind through meditation.
