I have been wondering lately whether i should push myself to mediate or just wait until my understanding creates the motivation?

hi friend

personally, i believe motivation is very important for meditation

however, buddhism is more than meditation as it offers many kinds of helpful advices and skilful means

i generally suggest visiting a buddhist centre is the best introduction to buddhism

for learning meditation, i.e., if we are motivated, doing an organised weekend or ten-day group retreat, which has a good mix of activities, is best, imo

warm regards
