Modern Religious Experience: Reflection #4: Buddhist Meditation

In the 20 Minutes that I tried to meditate in, I had thoughts in my mind but later on, it was all black, which according to me means that I was empty minded. At first I could not concentrate and I was thinking about cars, since cars are really important to me, but 2 minutes later I was empty. Everything had gone black. At that time I tried to seek life’s truth and I imagined how a person become rich and spends a lot of money but the truth was that when you are rich, you have to manage your money because if you don’t, you will end up on the street one day. I had trouble not thinking about anything since I cannot sit for a long time not thinking about anything. While I was meditating, I did not receive any inspirations. The reason for that can be because I was trying to be empty minded and after being empty minded, I could not think about anything. Though meditation is really difficult, I think that meditation can take you in a different world where you can relax and don’t have to think about anything.
