Greetings again.
I have just listened to a podcast on a site called
http://personallifemedia.com/podcast/236-buddhist-geeks
Go to episode 134 - The Erotic Embrace of Life and Meditation by Vidyuddeva to get the podcast.
Vidyuddeva makes the point that in meditation we tend to believe we need to shut out our life in order to have a "successful" meditation.
His view is that we are doing the meditation in the stream of our life, so we cannot exclude it. He also makes the point that if we don't allow our life to be present in our meditation, how can we then transcend the other way and bring meditation into our day to day life?
The list of Geeks is impressive including a number of Rinpoches and members of Integral Institute from Ken Wilber onwards.
I recommend this as a valuable source of discussions on Buddhism in the western world.
Yours in Dharma, Vajramate.
