Most of the meditation manuals start with posture, breath counts and schedules: twenty minutes in the morning, twenty in the evening, sit in lotus if you must, repeat the mantra, wait for the quiet mind. The transcript you gave me takes the exact opposite approach. It doesn’t offer … Continue reading What is Meditation?
