#channel/bodhi-light-teachings  Meditation is you sit there and you learn you resist temptation to do anything. Number two, when your body is still now, you learn next not to think anymore. Thoughts don't arise anymore in your mind. And that's what we call samadhi. It's important because I want you to experience what meditation will bring to you. Bring you this kind of peace and bliss that worldly pleasures cannot. That drinking, that smoking, using drugs cannot bring you. And don't deprive yourself of that. It's nice. It's not that hard to get there. And you don't ever go back. Once you have that, you will always be able to get there. Because it's right there. Every day you drill how to enter samadhi, enter samadhi, enter samadhi. So that when you need it, it happens naturally because you can. It's a reflex. In order for you liberate yourself according to the teaching here because it's a liberation. It's a conscious effort. You liberate yourself from the torments, from the afflictions. You have that choice. You can choose to liberate yourself. And you all can do that.
