I can't recommend his "Mindfulness for Beginners" book enough. Although I've been "meditating" for years, this book is packed with subtleties that are easily missed. In other teachings, it can be very difficult

The 'introverts' who 'get enlightened' certainly don't need to find a way to talk. There's nothing to be said.
