David Vago speaks with Vincent Horn
Great interview overall. Especially appreciated teasing out of how interest in meditation is now embedded in our major institutions of higher learning. Also, how meditation is becoming a part of mainstream health care.
Thanks Lianna. :)
Wow, thank you Tricycle for making this available. I like the point Vincent Horn made, more than once, about not separating his studies from the Buddhist traditional meditation.
