compatriot. After all, becoming a part or the local culture for Damien is the

hardest part of life in a strange land.

“I wanted to be happy so I decided to try this meditation to throw away all bad

habits and seeking which walks well in my native country. So in order for me to

be happy and open my mind I did this meditation to discover the truth.” Damien

However, there are 5 aggregates, which include material body, sensations, perceptions/feelings, tendencies/thoughts, and consciousness.…

While these two stress reducing techniques are effective, there are some that don’t work as well.…

    After ten days of meditating for ten uninterrupted minutes, I have begun to anticipate my departure from the rest of the world, finding solace in my own monologue. This retreat for ten minutes was not so much lonely isolation from the world as it was refreshing sanctuary from my own sources of tension; I have become my own place of refuge, instead of something to avoid.
