Meditation, a Daily Practice
Why do we need to practice meditation? The reason is that the real source of happiness is inner peace. When our mind is peaceful, we naturally experience inner calm and happiness. Meditation is the method to develop the positive qualities of mind, taught in Buddhas teachings, that give rise to inner peace and therefore lead us to experience happiness. This is the same for everyone.
