“The reason for learning… is not so that you can sit around and meditate. It’s like when you learn to drive a car in a parking lot. It’s not so you can drive that car in parking lots. You learn in the parking lot because it’s a restricted, safe area. When you [meditate] it’s like learning to drive in the parking lot. Then, in time, you take the car out onto the highway…. Practice is cultivated in order to get around in life….”

I like that. Cool post, @Shoshin .
Why not-meditate?
... perhaps that should be knot-meditate ...
Very worthwhile link.
Personally I find my life is better with meditation. That will do me ...
Meditation is (so it would seem) much better than must-erbation
As well as a seated practice, I find my ultra relaxed daily yoga, has considerable health benefits. I aim for 10 minutes a day, rarely time yoga and usually do more. It is very much informed by my seated practice. So for example, the back is becoming more flexible. The ability to be aware of discomfort and relax it away is very healing.
