[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very involved within the yoga and meditation world and wanted to pass on this article to you. A judge ruled in a famous Encinitas case that yoga is not a religious practice in school.

I encourage you to really think about what’s bothering you so much about children using stress reduction breathing techniques in school. There’s no talking of spirituality or religion the way it’s being taught in schools. The goal is Teaching children self-regulation. Instead of sending them to timeout or detension, we’re seeing amazing results by kids learning to self regulate.[/quote]

Of course you see amazing results. That’s why religion is so popular, because people that practice have a better quality of life than the ones that don’t.

Unfortunately you all correlate religion with Christian bigots, so if it’s not Christian bigoted it can’t be religious in your eyes. [/quote]

Excuse me, my father is Japanese Buddhist, and has never thought that meditation, as taught in Western schools, has anything to do with his spiritual practice.

On the contrary, I think your misguided opinion shows how little you know about Buddhism that you would boil it down to this. It's a form of bias that you have, OP.
