M wasn't very fond of any other meditation opther than TM. However, I did hear him say that he liked one Buddhist technique called *walking meditation*.

I'm sure that if he'd tried some other techniques he might have had a bit more respect for what they can achieve. The trouble is that he had something to sell and you don't sell much if you encourage people to look elsewhere at the same time!

A Buddhist Rinpoche is talking tonight on campus. 8pm at Argiro Student Center From way back in that first Scientific American paper published about the physiological effect of meditating, it has long been a cultural position in TM that buddhist meditation is no good. Could even be harmful. The presentation of the argument starts in the introductory lectures to TM. But, the scientific and secular aspect of transcending meditation as it is presented by some could very well appeal to the more official modern mind in mainland China as opposed to religious Buddhist meditations. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : Fascinating article about life on the roof of the world: Forgotten Land, Defiant People - Tibet - Luminous Landscape https://luminous-landscape.com/forgotten-land-defiant-people-tibet/ https://luminous-landscape.com/forgotten-land-defiant-people-tibet/ Forgotten Land, Defiant People - Tibet - Luminous ... https://luminous-landscape.com/forgotten-land-defiant-people-tibet/ Forgotten Land, Defiant People – Tibet Ancient Tibet was comprised of three provinces, U-Tsang, Amdo and Kham.
