    About this ebook

    if you give priority to inquiring life, assessing life, valuating life or meditation, you'll have enough time to attend to all your needs. If you give priority to meditation, after finishing everything planned for the day, you'll have somemore time to attend to something else. Meditation gives you time to attend to the needs of your physical health, and to fulfill your duties and responsibilities

    Upul Nishantha Gamage

    Upul Nishantha Gamage, present resident meditation teacher, has been guiding thousands of people from different backgrounds who come to Nilambe to practice meditation. According to the article titled “Mistakes” published in Dhammaja (Nilambe Buddhist Meditation centre Newsletter-Volume 2, Jan 2009), he started meditation in 1977, at 13 years of age. At that time, he was instrumental in establishing a Youth Society at a Buddhist Temple near his parents’ house and got involved in many activities as the Secretary of the Society. In late 80’s, he had offered to help Godwin at a point where someone’s assistance with the activities at the Meditation Centre was vital. Subsequently, he had been introduced to those at the Centre by Godwin as the “new boss” of Nilambe. Ever since he has been a very dear friend and an outstanding Dhamma teacher for thousands of people who attend programs conducted by him, also many others who are yet to attend his programs and a counselor for those who are in need of counseling. Besides teaching at Nilambe, Upul conducts programs at prisons, schools, monasteries, private residences etc. He is regularly invited to conduct meditation retreats in Hong Kong, Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. According to his teaching, practice of Meditation paves the path to help ourselves, to understand ourselves and to change ourselves for better as we are becoming more and more mindful about all our day-to-day activities. Moreover, Upul’s great ability to speak to our hearts and practical and philosophical way of presenting Dhamma has enormous power to make us practice Meditation in a joyful manner.

      We often think that earning money is our priority. However, if we make money our priority or our life or our 'self', we'll not to have enough time for anything else, because the time will be spent on earning, spending, and saving money. Not only money, if someone makes his/her occupation his/her life or 'self', that occupation won't let him/her have a successful family life, or attend to social and religious activities.

      However, if you give priority to enquiring life, assessing life, valuating life or meditation, you'll have enough time to attend to all your needs. If you give priority to meditation, after finishing everything planned for the day, you'll have some more time to attend to something else. Meditation gives you time to attend to the needs of your physical health, and to fulfil your duties and responsibilities. You'll have enough time, ability and health to do everything you have valued in life. Only meditation can save your time, whereas everything else wastes your time. This is nature, beauty, miracle and wonder or meditation.
