One big obstruction for most meditators is incessant thinking. If we find it very difficult to calm the thinking mind, we can try a mantra meditation, like repeating 'Buddho', or 'May All Beings be at Ease'. With the mantra, we're still thinking, we don't have to stop thinking completely, but we're restricting the thoughts to only the mantra. That may be easier than trying to stop thinking completely. However, the real aim of the meditation is not just repeating the

The new 'Saddhamma Cetiya' at Dhammagiri will serve as a focal point to direct and develop our faculty of faith/confidence/conviction ('Saddhā'). However, it's important to understand that faith/confidence is not limited to devotional affection to a particular person.
