INSIGHT  MEDITATION  PRACTICE  PROGRAM  FOR  A  GOOD  LIFE

 As  Buddhists,  we  study  the  teachings  taught  by  the  Buddha  and  struggle  to  put  into  practice  what  we  have  learnt.  We  know  that  we  need  to  cultivate  wisdom,  compassion  and  mindfulness  in  our daily  lives.  This  very  often  seems  so  much  difficult  to  do.   Yet  this  is exactly  what  we  must  do. There  is  a  saying  in  Thai  which  states.  A  truth  which  is  not  put  into  practice  has  no  value;  any  truth which  is  put  into  practice  has  value.  We  study  to  learn  the  truth,  but  that  alone  is  not  enough;  we  must  practice  the  truth.  The  question  then  is,  How  do  we  put  the  truth  into  practice?  The answer  is  meditation,  and  there  is  no  better  way  to  give   truth-value,  than  in  taking  part  in  a  meditation  retreat,  and  to  renew  your  meditation  efforts  steadily.

 Meditation  by  cultivation  insight  meditation  can  be  practiced by  everybody;  not  limited  in  time and place, and  the  meditator  will  understand  the  truth  by  himself  directly, at  a  given  time,  with  no  need  to  wait  for  the  next  life,  The  school,   the  texts,  and  the  tools  for  practice  are  our  body  and  mind,  In  fact,  insight meditation  leads  to the cessation  of  suffering.    

Wat Mahadhatu, Section 5 teaches the benefit for practicing insight meditation, therefore Section 5  conducts The Meditation Practice Program for a Good Live.
