An act of meditation is actually an act of faith--
of faith in your spirit,
in your own potential.
Faith is the basis of meditation.
Not of faith in something outside you--
a metaphysical buddha, an unattainable ideal, or someone else's words.
The faith is in yourself, in your own "buddha-nature."
You too can be a buddha,
an awakened being that lives and responds in a wise,
creative, and compassionate way.
