My aim is to present a survey of meditation ideas from the perspective of a variety of philosophical and religious systems. To be open to a variety approached began as a teen and spurred my search in Nepal and India for a thirteen-year period where I drew close to a variety of "gurus," male and female, yogis Buddhist and Hindu, and Chan where I went on to become a fully ordained bhikshu for ten years under the guidance of Master Hsuan Hua. Traditions blend and support each other. If one is open, and "openness" practiced, one cannot help but find that insight is blind.
