Meditation is very popular in the society today. There are possibly countless number of meditation centers that are spread across the world. While those of who are wise slowly realizing the benefits of meditation, others think that there are no benefits and tends to postpone it  to do it later in their life not knowing that “life is uncertain, death is certain” or decide to do in the next lives of existance. So far that the science is still in primitive stage where there is no medication is introduced to make a person gain ultimate wisdom. Only medication is that there exists is to develop wisdom is meditation without any side-effects.

Mind controls the body. This body is impermanent, yet mind transform and carry us to the next existence of the life. Therefore, it is obvious that what must be developed and what section that one must focus more in a life time. This is why that we see that Buddhism give higher place to the mind than the body speaking of super-mundane path in Buddhism.
