This week, Sam shared parts of a video recording of a recent talk by Joseph Goldstein on “Why we meditate”. He discusses how it’s not just for peace of mind but also for understanding how our mind works, how habits dominate our minds, how the mind can be trained, and how the mind can be made our friend. Further, Joseph devotes some time to discussing suffering, impermanence, and “no-self”.
