__Importance__
Buddhism had a threefold path, and the second path is dedicated to meditation. Understanding and using meditation is a key part of Buddhism. As for some other religions, prayer is the most important spiritual part, meditation is the center of spiritual importance. Meditation is a balance of both the physical and spiritual world. The main goal is to reach the point where you understand impermanence. __The Buddha__ After using such meditation, Siddhartha Gautama, was believed to have discovered the Middle Path. The Middle Path is the way for Buddhists to escape the temptations of attachments. He sat under a fig tree and meditated for 49 days and finally became enlightened. He then became The Buddha, or The Enlightened One. He could now understand the cause of suffering and how to end it. For Buddhists who meditate, it is this state that they want to reach.
