Buddhist meditation is a mental way to concentrate. Buddhist meditation ultimately leads to enlightnment and spiritual freedom. There are two main types of Buddhist meditations such as Vipassana (insight) and Samatha (tranquility). In China and Japan Buddhism has turned into sitting meditation (zen meditating). Meditating is now known to be one of the best ways to control adhd, majorly reduce anxiety, cure depression, and many other problems. Meditation usually takes beginners at least a month to get the full hang of it. To properly meditate one must do it on a daily basis for 5-20 mins a day. Meditating teaches people to stay calm and trains people to deal with their stress correctly.

An example of how will meditation helps us cope with our daily stress is when Kimberly A. Williams, PH.D., at West Virgina University in Morgantown, and her fellow co-workers did a testing on how will meditation helps "stressed out" individuals. They recruited 35 individuals. After the "mindful training" study was done they found that the individuals were 54% less stressed out.

If properly done, it's essentially the same as any other kind of true meditation.
