Transcending Thoughts

If you just meditate, your psychodynamic “junk” will not automatically go away. If you just meditate, your job or your relationship with your spouse will not automatically get better.

Render unto Freud what is Freud’s, and render unto Buddha what is Buddha’s. And best of all, render unto the Divine all of yourself, by engaging all that you are.
