Why secular meditation doesn’t work
Imagine you have an infection, and your doctor prescribes antibiotics. The pills have a strawberry-flavored coating. You like the taste of strawberry, so you lick the coating off the pills, but you don’t swallow the medicine, so you don’t get well.
This is how it is when you isolate Buddhist meditation from Buddhism.
