Facts About World Religions

Founded in India 2,500 years ago, Buddhism remains the dominant religion of the Far East and is increasingly popular in the West. Over its long history Buddhist has developed into a wide variety of forms, ranging from an emphasis on religious rituals and worship of deities to a complete rejection of both rituals and deities in favor of pure meditation. But all share in common a great respect for the teachings of the Buddha, "The Enlightened One."

what we learned in buddism is that they all focus in suffering and how to stay away from desires...

they also believes that there are reencarnation and buddist are trying to level up their spiritual meditations

buddhist meditation and centering prayer

centering prayer is a popular method of contemplative prayer, placing a strong emphasis on interior silence. Catholics practice this through the rosary. 

Instructions: 1. sit comfortably with you eyes closed, relax, and quiet yourself. be in love and faith to God.

2. choose a sacred word that best supports your sincere intention to be in the Lord's presence and open to His divine action within you (ie Jesus, Lord, God, Savior, Abba, Divine, Shalom, Spirit, Love, etc)

3. Let that word be gently present as your symbol of your sincere intention to be in the Lord's presence and open to His divine action with you.

4. Whenever you become aware of anything (thoughts, feelings, perceptions, images, associations, etc.) simply return to your sacre word, your anchor.

Ideally the prayer will reach the point where th eperson is not engaged in their thoughts as they arrive on their stream of consciousness. this is the unknowing referenced in the 14th century book.

Buddhist meditation includes techniques to develop mindfulness, concentration, tranquility, and insight. Buddhists meditate as part of the path to Enlightenment and Nirvana. there are sooo many ways of meditating.

i think both religion's meditation are the same because both relaxes us

and let us concentrate more in our spirituality then in our busy daily life.
