#channel/bodhi-light-teachings  What's the point of meditation? Meditation is a method that directly puts out that mental anguish. So, it's a fundamental skill that our parents never taught us, our teachers never taught us. That's something you need to develop for your own sake. If not, then you simply like the rest of the ordinary people, they ignore it, they sacrifice their health, they are to go to work and kill themselves. And when they get sick, they go to the doctor and say, "Hey doctor, I'm sick. Fix it for me." Whereas, you meditate, you restore your mental and physical health. If you can restore your mental health, meaning get rid of the negativity in your mind, those thoughts of anxiety, thoughts of stress, thoughts of anger, your mind is cleaner and therefore physically, you'll be healthier.
