∙ 12y agoI believe you mean "why do Buddhists meditate". Buddhists meditate because they believe that by meditating, they will be able to calm themselves and make better decisions because of their calmness. Meditating raises your self awareness. When the Buddha meditated under the Bodhi tree, he gained insight into the working of karma and rebirth and the four Noble Truths and was subsequently enlightened. We believe that if we meditate then us Buddhists could one day reach Buddhahood.
