Because I like the way he explains things, both in philosophical & technical aspect of meditation. The problem is, I dont have time to go to his 10 days courses, plus I dont think I could survive meditating for 15 hours daily while at his temple tho. <br /><br />I heard about that book before, it seems like a very manly book. My approach is very practical: I try it and it works for me, so I stick with it. I'm not really into reading philosophical books to find 'the meaning of life'. I read them just to know what's the fuss that this person or that person said.triestihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633001803711000905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669336.post-31215650555147027192011-01-04T07:19:55.732+01:002011-01-04T07:19:55.732+01:00From what I knew Buddhism stands out in the compan...From what I knew Buddhism stands out in the company of monotheistic religions as a gentle, meek and peaceful spiritual system. What you write about what the exercises did to you, seems to confirms that. On the other hand I guess taking part in this specific kind of meditation probably is being frowned upon by those dominant world religions. So I wonder though what made you want to go to Blitar though. And why this particular man. <br /><br /><br />I'm afraid I've to admit I lack real talent for any spiritual part of life (I'm stopped in my tracks the moment I reach platitudes like: 'our mission in life is muddling through while exaggerating the passing on of life'). I never got nearer to Buddhism than when way back I read and thought I could understand Robert Pirsig and his son Chris' odyssey in "Zen or the art of motorcycle maintenance" .<br /><br />I loved the book and left it there.
