DYEM?
« on: December 11, 2012, 12:11:48 am »
I got this book from the library and am really digging it. Anyone ever try to get into meditation? The stuff he is saying about learning to accept life as it is, and accept your emotions as part of being a human without letting them control you, etc, really resonates with me right now. I have not gotten to a part where he talks about how to meditate, though. But he describes vipassana meditation as being about understanding yourself and the world as they really are, rather than meditating on eternal truths or whatever, which seems great.

It is also making me wonder if Buddhism has had a big influence on cultural studies/anthropology. What he is saying is bringing back a lot of stuff from school.

Damn, I thought this thread was going to be about masturbation. And I'd've been all "Y!"
