You asked: Do you need to believe in Buddhism to meditate?

Not at all, my friends. You see, meditation is a process of knowing yourself and your world.

Mindfulness is a tool and technics to discover yourself. Think of it as meditation is a gym, and mindfulness is the weights and equipment to exercise to build up your mind’s mussel. To cultivate your mind to know yourself, to learn your surrounding, to know the purpose of your being.

Working out to be mindful should be your way of life. If you do it to be cool, to be sexy, or to act as a holy man or women,

You are mindless. It is ok to begin your meditation practice this way, but you must relinquish them sooner or later to find your true self.

Imagine you are in front of a large mirror.

But hardly you can see yourself.

You see a thick layer of dust sat over the mirror.

With bear hands, you start to push away the dust.

You ask your self

Am I the reflection in the mirror

Or

Am I all this dust

Dust of self-doubt

Dust of dishonesty

Dust of hatred

Dust of material attachment

Dust of lousy intention, greed, envy, and revenge

So, if you like to see

If you like to know

If you like to understand

Yourself

Keep cleaning the mirror.

Please do it for yourself

Do it to train your mind
