Study of Religion Assignment.
Researching how the ancient ritual of Buddhist meditation has been made more accessible to a more modern and secular mindset?

Has the PUPOSE of meditation changed over time to suit the contemporary world?
Has the ritual been MODIFIED to suit the changes of the contemporary world?
If so, how?

If not, how is it still RELEVANT to today's world? Why are people still performing the ancient ritual?
HAS SOCIETY CHANGED and now happens to suit Buddhism meditation more? Ie. people are more stressed, meditation provides relaxation, etc?

Please provide any sources you have used to come up with an answer.
Thanks :)
