What is the difference from your link to this? Or is your link better because it comes from a British woman? They are speaking exactly the same words.

The difference is that yours is Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice which is not used for kids in schools. I know this because I teach and have to follow very strict rules to ensure any breathing techniques taught are secular in nature. We do not use the word spirit, spiritual, om, namaste or anything else that would ruffle your panties.

No we ban HP b/c the author is a bigot.

OP please understand that posting link after link is not the same as making a reasoned argument. Your inability to reason and/or communicate effectively is a good example of our failing public schools, so maybe ponder why and how the system failed you before you devote any more mental energy to meditation...

Maybe you do but no one else does. You sound clueless.

DP. To be more clear, an inability to communicate your argument in your own words is almost always secondary to either not understanding what you are trying to say, or just not having a coherent argument.

And here we have yet another product of our failing schools, incapable of logic and reason and seemingly unaware that words have meaning. But yes, let’s focus on mediation, religion, and Harry Potter.

OP, it’s sad you don’t have the reasoning ability and cognitive skills to understand the difference between meditation and Buddhism.

DP. I like to apply the Michael Scott “explain it to me like I’m five” test. If you can’t do that, you don’t truly understand what you’re talking about.

I have perfect reasoning ability. You all are clueless.

I am not writing in links so the links can prove my point, but to make the point that all the links you send are meaningless, because all the sources you bring up also have written articles making my point.

You can be selective about the words you use, and pretend that you are using something secularly. It is still the wrong place for it. You think you’re being cool by adapting these behaviors, and don’t take a minute to think for a second of what they mean. You are the same people who are tearing down statues because their origins are linked to slavery, but refuse to look at the roots of meditation because it makes you think you are hip with your expense yoga pants.

You are just empty heads.

Valentine's Day is a great example of something that used to be religious in nature but is now secularized. See also: Sunday.

Don’t waste your feelings on me. Feel sad and lament for yourself.

Valentine’s Day is another religious concept used to make love homogeneous.

The difference is that the guidance counselor is not teaching your kids to participate in Valentine’s Day, and it’s not part of the school lessons.

Please tell us if you are equally exercised over the Pledge of Allegiance, Halloween, Valentine’s Day and Christmas, Hanukkah or Easter images or words in school.

All of these have more direct links to religion than meditation.

I’m guessing you’re just an-Asian, though. Seems to be a trend these days, because Covid and Trump made that a little more acceptable.
