Right Meditation

Description
BuddhaNet: Buddhist Information and Education Network document.

Excerpt
Excerpt: The final path of the way of the Buddhas is meditation, the practice of all the Buddhas and patriarchs. While meditation is the most straight forward and simple of the eight paths, meditation is also the most removed from our everyday life. We employ world view, intentions, speech, work at a vocation, choose courses of moral action, and apply some mindfulness in our everyday life whether we are on a spiritual path or not. We do not, however, meditate as a natural part of our normal existence. This is why meditation carries with it an exotic quality in the minds of most non-practitioners. Combined with this are all the fantastic references to magical powers that can be attained through the practice of meditation. One assumes then that since enlightenment itself is the ultimate result of meditation, enlightenment must be some sort of magical state of being, as well.
