Traditional Buddhism Meditation

Traditional Buddhist practices remain firmly rooted in the traditional translations of the Buddha’s teachings. Following an articulated path to awakening, the teachings retain a belief in Saṃsāra, or rebirth, with a goal of liberation from the endless cycles of life through discipline and devotion. The Buddha is viewed as an exalted being, beyond the human experience, attaining enlightenment after many lives lived in virtue and compassion. For more Buddhist practices, see Contemporary Buddhism in Spirituality.
