> And It is hard to mediation when you don't know basically about Buddhism - This is my guess from what did you write.

Why? There's nothing inherently Buddhist about meditation; there's no reason to bring religion into this. Buddhism is a tradition that has been practicing meditation for a long time, but their practice is shrouded in their mysticism, so it's difficult to know what's real and what isn't.

This is coming from someone who once thought like you, by the way. Although I am an atheist, I read a lot about Buddhism and meditation, even medidated with a monk. The religious aspects are a complete waste of time, so you're better off learning from a secular source.

Because meditation methods are all derived from Buddhism. If we don't understand basically then we don't know the real reasons and we don't have enough motivation for why we need to meditate.

And our mind has to be in a peaceful state to have the best in mediation.

For example about this: gamers always say they play worse when they are old. In reality, it is almost like their mind has many problems with worrying about family or money, not like when they are young.

And we can't have peace of mind if we are just meditating. We need to understand the Noble Eightfold Path. https://i.imgur.com/Sv9Sdoj.png.

Meditation is a necessary but not sufficient condition.
