    It is to find an exact balance between body and soul; the soul nourishes the body, the body encourages the soul. At that precise moment, you will feel a warm breeze on your feet and you will not feel the weight of your body. For you, it will be an instant, but for others, it will be hours; that is, when you reach that point of equilibrium, hours have passed physically, but spiritually it is a radiant instant.

      No, I'm not even close. I am a simple mortal who spent 11 years in captivity, and meditation was my support, meditation was my nourishment and made me unwavering.

        Buddha had many teachers who taught him meditation. However he saw through purifying his mind that the meditation taught by his teacher would not free him from the rounds of rebirth. He practiced austerities and found that starving the body would not free him from rebirth, he found the Jhanas would not free him from rebirth. he almost died from not eating and a little girl found him and brought Buddha food until he regained his strength. Buddha made a vow he would sit beneath the Bodhi Tree until he finally broke the chains of suffering. That is when he discovered that taking insight (vipassana) meditation coupled with the Jhanas completely freed him...

        There was no teachers to appoint him a Buddha because he found what had been lost for a long time...A Samma Sambuddha

        A Samma Sambuddha, or Universal Buddha, is the highest level of Buddhahood. He attains Enlightenment, by his own efforts, at a time when the teaching is not known in the world. He has the greatest and most extensive powers, teaches the Dhamma and goes on to establish a Buddha Sasana or Community.
