Isn’t meditation boring?
It can be. It can also be fascinating. It can be as exquisitely beautiful as the rawness of nature – and in that, remarkable insights can be discovered. Unfortunately—at the beginning—it is true that it is mostly boring. It is like learning to play a musical instrument. At first, everything is awkward and sounds bad. You have to play scales, over and over again. But with a few weeks of practice you become able to play pieces which sound increasingly like music. It becomes more pleasurable, less onerous, and you sense a growing feeling of accomplishment. The experience of meditation moves in just the same way.
