Researchers say in NYTimes Online Magazine that Buddhist meditation IS in fact good for your mental and physical health. Whew! I'm sure glad that's finally been decided. Isn't it funny how nothing seems to be accepted as credible until the words "researchers say/state" are placed before or after the declaration? As far as I'm concerned, millions of meditators can't be wrong, whether or not they're validated by researchers at the Universities of Wisconsin-Madison and San Francisco and at Harvard.
