The you that goes in one side of the meditation experience is not the same you that comes out the other side. – Bhante Henepola Gunaratana
Meditation is not a matter of trying to achieve ecstasy, spiritual bliss or tranquility, nor is it attempting to be a better person. It is simply the creation of a space in which we are able to expose and undo our neurotic games, our self-deceptions, our hidden fears and hopes. – Chögyam Trungpa
