still. The best means for mental training is the so-called Bhāvanā or meditation. Following Dhammakāya medi- tation, we train ourselves to visualize a crystal ball at our centre of gravity.

Concentrating at the centre is the only method of purifying our mind which will result in the successive attainment of Peace of mind, Happiness, Wisdom, and Ultimate Reality in proportion to the degree of purification of the mind. Hulda described how she has profoundly realized the benefits of meditation gained through her experiences; "When I practise meditation, I am very happy the whole time. I think I have to practise more be- cause I really know its profit. Now I can visualize a crystal ball.......but for a short time. I think that I can't do it properly yer! The crystal ball isn't very clear.......sometimes I can't maintain it. But I still per- severe. Anyway, it makes me feel very happy, calm, relaxed and peaceful." ๔๖ กัลยาณมิตร น.บ. Meditation is Helpful to Study If we are always absent- minded, we shall never succeed at anything we do. Concentration is needed for all sorts of work; a student with firm concentration always does well in their study. Hulda is already tactical about making progress in her study. She explained; "Study requires concentration, and the patience and ability to con- centrate which we practise in medi- tation must help my study. So I must keep on meditating every day."
