I've been passively interested in meditation and Buddhism for a long time. I've done sporadic meditating and reading but nothing consistent. But I recently read the book "Mindfulness in Plain English," and was really blown away and inspired by it. For the last week I've been meditating a couple times per day, and taking the messages in the book to heart throughout the day. It's been an incredible week, and I decided to research some more about Vipassana meditation and Buddhism. I so much liked what I read, and have been benefiting so much from daily practice, that I decided I will visit a Buddhist meditation center on Sunday, partake in group meditation, and start their "Introduction to Buddhism" classes. Here's to serious exploration of spirituality for the first time.
