Re: MBSR and nirvana
ok from your perspective, I understand your point of view. For the practice of meditation itself, you need to be non judgemental.

Re: MBSR and nirvana
I have a different perspective on this. I think it is always important to be critic with what you've been taught.

Re: MBRS and nirvana
ok, maybe I'm not precise with my question. What I heard sometimes from buddhist tradition, are different states of meditations, that one can reach.
