I find a lot of value and solace in meditation, including some methods I've learned from Buddhist teachers.
But reading about it in Psychology Today? I'm sorry, I couldn't even get past the first page .. maybe the article improves after that.
But "A Buddhist scholar who examines the interface between science and religion, he believes that much of human suffering is our own doing." Duh? The author should have done a little homework -- it's a central tenet of Buddhism that suffering is of our own doing. It **is** the "human condition".
