There are three unwholesome roots; namely, Greed (lobha), hatred (dosa), Delusion (Moha). They are removed by three healthy roots; namely, charity, virtue and meditation. Charity destroyed greed, hatred destroys virtue, meditation destroyed delusion.Basically, meditation means "trying to keep his mind in one place."
Meditation helps prevent the mind to have immoral thoughts. But before learning or trying to meditate, one must be morally right or morally virtuous upright.Becoming does not mean wearing white and observing eight precepts or wearing yellow and observing the ten precepts, or enter dresses and become a monk. A morally right or virtuous away from all defilements that occur from the mind, body and speech of one. The laity must also fulfill all their obligations to their families and friends before considering meditation.
The person who wants to meditate should organize his life properly. According to the 'Visuddhi marga, "the book that gives appropriate instructions to the person who meditates, it is not necessary that the body and clothes clean oneself; but must store the location and surrounding area where he intends to meditate and prepare well in advance.
