IMO making meditation a productive activity with (shudder) metrics is far more divorced from tradition. Again, isn’t aimlessness the point of Buddhism? Taming

Again, isn’t aimlessness the point of Buddhism? Taming and mastering the ‘I’ and it’s worldly attachments like aiming for things?
- spicymaki 5y agoI am not exactly sure which tradition you speak of. From Theravada to Mahayana meditation has been practiced via sitting, chanting, walking, and work practice for over 2000 years. It is this arbitrary separation of sitting meditation from other practices such as walking and work that is exactly the problem with the modern appropriation of meditation.
