Meditation

Buddhism and Meditation

In Buddhism, Meditation is important and central in the teaching. Buddhism contains deep meditation along with an earnest morality, but most Buddhists who aren't monks/nuns do not meditate. Buddhism is also kind of unique in the fact that those belonging to another religion can also practice Buddhism.
Buddha, or Siddhartha Gautama, gained his enlightenment and the title "Buddha" after sitting under a tree in the city of Bodh Gaya for a long meditation.
