It opens up something in the mind. I do not meditate myself, but I was stuck in a tea ceremony here in Tokyo for 3 and a half hours. I was at this event mostly to translate for some visiting foreign guests and the hosts. Well I sat down in Seiza intially and immidiately realized what a bad Idea that was. the people I work for were watching to see how long I would stay like this as the other foreigners changed position within 10 minutes as they had no reason not too. I saw that my boss didnt change so I didnt. by 30 minutes I wanted to knaw my legs off and I dont know when but at some point I just became euphoric and had no pain and I felt like I was on drugs and it was all coming from my legs. Interesting. I think there is somthing very essential to learning to handle dull pain. It opens up something in the mind.

First time for my fathers death, the second time for my mother's death, and the third time when i turned wa a year later after my mother. I was raised a Bhuddist, but dont really consider myself in any religion. I love the teaching of Bhuddist but to be honest, I only follow it for the sake of my family's beliefs. I guess it doesnt really take anything out of me to go to the temple and pray for them or with them. Just a little bit of my time but it makes them happy so in return it make me happy. I was a monk twice in Wat Pra Tumachat in LA. (Beautiful Temple) and once in Fresno, Ca ( not as beautiful but very peaceful ). As far as meditation is concern, I think ( think ) i did experience something wierd, i guess its hard to explain. It was only once but i was deep in a meditation or to rationalize it - or it couldve been that i fell asleep and started dreaming while meditating, but what ever it was, if i said it people would not believe me or just think i'm crazy. So its best to not say. Anyhow, real meditation ( as in really opening your mind to nothing ) is great. I’ve been a monk three times in my life.

I'm a very creative person and have a lotta of imagination (that's what I blame it on.). Anyway, I'm gonna try that meditation and see if it works for me. Thanx a lot man.
