Q: I have a lot of worries and stress. I try to meditate in order to relax, but it is no use.

Dr. Thynn: In this fast-moving world, meditation is regarded as an instant remedy for life's ills. If you look upon meditation as merely a tranquilizer, you are underestimating its true value. Yes, relaxation does occur through meditation, but that is only one of its many results. Meditation in Buddhism is neither an instant cure nor just a stress-relieving measure.
......Meditation in Buddhism means cultivation of the mind in order to achieve insight wisdom or panna, ultimately leading to liberation or Nibbana.

By endeavor, diligence, disciple  self-mastery,
let the wise make an island (of themselves)
that no flood can overwhelm.
