Re: MBSR and nirvana

Does it mean we have to stop to think about the meditation practices, the history of meditation, the science of meditation ? Well then, this would mean that kabat zin and...

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.
