outlook

Doing a regular meditation practice changes a person. I can't actually describe the changes, possibly because I have no particular goal or plan I'm pursuing. I just do what my teachers tell me, and try to do it according to their instructions.

But here's an example. Earlier today I was all set to go to my favorite political discussion board and mix it up with a few wingnuts, but then realized I didn't really feel like it. The combative impulse just wasn't there.

Meditation won't change the world, but it sure changes the view of the world a person gets from inside his own head.
