The Buddha is seen in several suttas encouraging monks to develop jhāna (which is a meditative state).
Meditation is the key to opening the doors of inner awakening which leads to liberation.
Buddhism expounds on two classes of meditation; samathabhavana (for the development of concentration) and vipassanabhavana (for the development of wisdom).
