What should one meditate upon as a beginner? I am planning to start meditation.

As a beginner , what things I should meditate upon from the Buddha's perspective?
That's like asking "what should I eat".

If liking to taste, here are the 40 meals, or better working places: Kammaṭṭhāna

For which one might be good for your tendency it would be best to look after a skilled meditation teacher but generally the ten recollections, best starting from below (and develope proper perception for them) are fine for one living at home, as well as the Brahma-viharas, later on.

What ever might be pleasing for the mind to go with it best possible without much laps.


  I am just a beginner...Just give me high priority 4-5 things to meditate upon.


First three recollections are of the virtues of the Three Jewels:


(1) Buddha
(2) Dharma
(3) Sangha


Next three are recollections of the virtues of:


(4) morality (Śīla)
(5) liberality (cāga)


Suttas in regard of them: Recollections

It would be good to ask first and likewise for Refuge and for the precepts first, taking them, best from a Monk or Nun, Dheeraj Verma.

(If having no access, but serious and having patient, one might be always welcome for such online.)
