Meditation can make You Stupid

Meditation is useful, in a number of ways, but it has some unfortunate side-effects.

I have an excellent meditation teacher; Shinzen Young, who has his own Wikipedia entry. I have also attended events at Spirit Rock, the most beautiful meditation center in the world!

What I have to say maybe typical of meditation in California. It tends to integrate native Indian religious practices, such as the Sweat Lodge and a dance practiced by the Lakota Sioux men that result in chest muscles being severed.

I can see no benefits from these practices, and think they are stupid.
