Meditation benefits for Monks in Buddhism

Abstract

         The result of the study was found that Meditation was an advantageous way to discipline slightingly all desires and to keep on contentment, sufficiency, and four requisites as a key of life for self-practice and Buddhist propagation. That is to say, Meditation could lead people to continually practice and be high-patient, constant mind, determined, unambitious and solitary.

         The benefit of Meditation in individual was effective to physical terms to make healthy for practicing more Dhamma as well as peaceful mind and body movement perception. The benefit in Sangha was that Sangha government was by the principles of Dhamma to support monks’ lives. Also, monks’ education was held onto Ganthadhura (the burden of studying the Scriptures) and Vipassanādhura (the burden of contemplation); so the Sangha behavior would make up concentration, patience, and the suppression of passion, anger and delusion. The benefit in Buddhism was to inherit and propagate to next generation to follow. It was believed that the propagation of Dhamma could benefit in present life, next life as well as Nirvana. So being a good propagator was to be beautiful in basic, middle, highest level with the principles of Dhamma. Another benefit of Meditation in aid was to give things and Dhamma so as to conquer all passions and sufferings, to see what the real life was, and to see through the feeling. At last, Meditation was to support the life pure, happy, and calm for Buddhist monks as the ways to get free from all sufferings.
