Those who truly understand their faiths understand the stories are metaphorical. Dan Brown

buddhist disappointment moving
While the primary function of formal Buddhist meditation is to create the possibility of the experience of "being," my work as a therapist has shown me that the demands of intimate life can be just as useful as meditation in moving people toward this capacity.
