What Have I Gained?

Someone once asked the Buddha sceptically,"What have you gained through meditation?"
The Buddha replied, "Nothing at all."
"Well, what good is it then?" they asked.
Buddha replied, "Let me tell you what I lost through meditation: sickness, anger, depression, insecurity, the burden of old age, the fear of death.  That is the good of meditation."
Please invest some time in reflection and meditation.  This is a rare opportunity to invest; hoping that you will lose something.
