His presentation of Shamatha is certainly not very TMish! No, as he indicates in my quote--TM by comparison is incomplete in many of the prerequisites--so, yes, definitely! Because of that, I tend to doubt that his students in the Shamatha Project(anyone else note  the need for a SINGLE teacher to impart a  consistently trained groupo of meditators for this  upcoming study, BTW?) will show very TM-like results, regardless of any practical benefits  documented... The continuous tradition of awakening it comes from is more than enough. Research is somewhat interesting, but only as an aside. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
