Meditation is an adventurous journey within. However, like any journey, whether it is going into the mountains or going to the beach, this journey has to be well prepared for. The first part of the preparation is understanding that there is a mind and then discovering what exactly the mind is and how it works. The journey through meditation requires the mind to be absolutely clear and steadfast in its clarity. The mind has to dwell in equanimity and be at peace. We have to learn to clear the mind of all conditioning, preconceived concepts and ideas. If we prepare well, then the meditative journey will be gentle, profound and rewarding. This paper outlines how often overlooked elements of fundamental Buddhist teachings – such as The Four Noble Truths, Noble Eightfold Path, Karma, and Five Precepts – can be used to facilitate progress on the path of meditation.
