Nothing at all. Meditation has no goal. There is nothing to gain. If that is so, someone once asked the Buddha, why meditate? His answer: "Let me tell you what I lost through meditation: sickness, anger, depression, insecurity, the burden of old age, the fear of death. That is the good of meditation, which leads to nirvana" [unbinding].

How do you experience a deep meditation?

Please do not try to "go deep" in meditation. There is no "correct" state of mind. Meditation is the process of being aware of "what is" in the present moment, without judging, trying to change, or fix it. If thoughts happen, great! Allow them. The whole knack is to allow a heartful presence to whatever is happening in your body-mind. Be present to what is, with no judgment, and no trying to change or fix or attain to anything.

Why do monks Meditate?

I suspect that nuns meditate for the same reason others do. Meditation helps strengthen awareness. Meditation helps us to see that we are not the mind, not the emotions, not the body. Meditation brings a sense of calm. Meditation helps us to see that fulfilling the desires of the mind will not bring a lasting sense of contentment. And finally, meditation brings one closer to a sense of godliness, of the divine.
