摘要：Meditation is one of the practices in Buddhism that is oriented based on the reason to form, control and train the mind to face, accept and manage things or problems in our lives, so that we can remain calm and patience. In Kelantan, the Siamese, which is the minority ethnic, who believe in Theravada Buddhism practice the meditation. Therefore, this study presents three objectives that is purposed to explain and elaborate the meditation practice in detail. The objectives are to explain the history of the arrival of Buddhism in Kelantan, to clarify the concept of meditation in Buddhism’s teachings, and to identify the concept of meditation based on Theravada, one of the schools of Buddhism, in Kelantan. In carrying out this study, the researcher implements the content analysis method to examine the observed literature review. The researcher also employs library research to gather the data. This study found that the meditation practice among the Theravada Buddhist in Kelantan is dominated by the Siamese who is originated from Thailand. While, the form, the way and the objective of meditation that is practiced there is to appreciate the teachings of Buddhism, Dhamma and Sangha such as Sila and Atthasila in the concept of Four Noble Truth and Noble Eightfold Path to achieve the eternal happiness, and to become a true Bikkhu (Arahat) and to honour the Three Jewels of Buddhism.
