Four Immeasurable Minds

Why should you meditate? What makes meditation so important? You're undoubtedly curious, or else you wouldn't be reading these words. I'd like to underline the following: Zen is not something we do in our leisure time; on the contrary, it is necessary for us to live a happy and serene existence. People have an odd habit of continually worrying about the future or the past. Young people are concerned about the future. Old individuals recall their experiences in the past. However, we must live in the present moment in order to fully appreciate life. Life is not a relic from the past. It's only a remembrance, a memory. Life isn't something that happens in the future. That is just a guess. The only time we really live is right now, in the current moment. And we must learn to live in this manner. Although human life might span 60 or 70 years, we must learn to live in the present. If we simply lived in the current moment, life would be a lot easier. It's simple to say, but harder to put into practice! Anyone who has attempted this must have had a similar experience. Those who have never tasted it will be pleasantly surprised. It's a straightforward piece of advice, but it's not easy to follow. Meditation is the most effective approach to help us live in the present moment.
