It is true that transcendental meditation always involves repeating a mantra or sound to achieve a different state of consciousness. This is repeated for 15 to 20 minutes per day for relaxation, stress reduction, and self-development.
π is an irrational number* and goes on forever without repeating; there are no last four digits of pi. *π is actually a transcendental number.
The answer depends on what is repeating: 0.87777... is different from 0.878787...
No, because repeating decimals never stop repeating, so it would be impossible to have a different number that does not repeat.
Yes, of course. Different denominators in the rational equivalent give rise to different lengths of repeating strings.
Decimal numbers that never end but that end up having a repeating pattern are called recurring decimals or repeating decimals.Examples would be 1/3 = 0.33333333...or 452/555 = 0.8144144144144144... (where 144 is the repeating pattern).Reaching that repeating pattern is known as becoming periodic. Only rational numbers will have a repeating pattern. (The repeating pattern may be 00000, as in 4/2 = 2.00000... .)If a decimal number continues forever without having a repeating pattern, then it is a irrational number. One example of a number that continues forever without repeating would be π (pi) which continues infinitely without repeating.Pi is also referred to as a transcendental number.

pi is a transcendental number and has an infinite decimal representation. Being infinite, there is no last decimal place. Moreover, unlike 1.3 which goes into an infinitely long repeating pattern, pi does not. So there is no answer to the question.
It is impossible to list all the digits of π as they go on forever without repeating - π is an irrational number (in fact it is a transcendental number which is a special kind of irrational number). π starts 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993...
Irrational numbers can not be repeating decimals. Any number that is a repeating decimal is rational.
In Buddhism the person meditating is not trying to get into a hypnotic state or contact angels or any other supernatural entity. Meditation involves the body and the mind. For Buddhists this is particularly important as they want to avoid what they call 'duality' and so their way of meditating must involve the body and the mind as a single entity. In the most general definition, meditation is a way of taking control of the mind so that it becomes peaceful and focused, and the meditator becomes more aware. The purpose of meditation is to stop the mind rushing about in an aimless (or even a purposeful) stream of thoughts. People often say that the aim of meditation is to still the mind.
