Petition Teach meditation in schools

More details

Happiness is a state of mind, therefore it's fundamental causes are to be found inside the mind and not in external conditions.

Meditation is the method for learning to control our own mind which makes us progressively less dependant upon external conditions for our happiness. (eg. food, drugs, crime etc.)

If people are given the methods for learning to control their minds, they have a chance of becoming better citizens. They will also become happier people.

There are many scientific studies proving the health benefits of meditation, both mentally & physically.

Meditation makes people more peaceful by harmonizing their brainwaves.

Why don't we start teaching meditation in schools?
