as we all know that buddhism is concerned much with life than with death, so that it taught us how to live life, as it see that, life as a process of constant change, and th e aim behind practicing life is to take the advantage of this fact. this means that the person can develope himself for the better. and mind is the decisive factor in changing the person, so that buddhism had provided and developed so many methods, ways for working the mind. the most important practice in buddhism is meditations, which is a method to of develope more positive states of human mind which characterised by, concentration, awareness, calm and emotions such as friendliness, love. Using the awareness in meditation it is possible to acheive complet fuller understanding of self, and other people and of life as well.
