Why meditate — One Mindful Breath – Wellington’s secular Buddhist community
http://www.onemindfulbreath.org.nz/why-meditate
The purpose of meditation is personal transformation. The ‘you’ that goes in one side of the meditation experience is not the same ‘you’ that comes out the other side. Meditation changes your character by a process of sensitisation, by making you deeply aware of your own thoughts, words and deeds. All of this happens through understanding.

‘Secular’ Buddhism‽ — One Mindful Breath – Wellington’s secular Buddhist community
http://www.onemindfulbreath.org.nz/secular-buddhism
Secular Buddhism is not a ‘school’ of Buddhism. It has no orthodoxy, no separate canon and no institutional presence.
