Translating the meditation research

"But the recent science on meditation is totally unambiguous. The effects are huge, unmistakable, repeatable, unassailable.

Meditation works!

Hot damn! We weren’t fooling ourselves!

Even better, different types of meditation do different dramatic things in the brain, and the parts of the brain each involves usually have known functions that correspond directly with the traditionally-claimed effects of that type of meditation. So not only does meditation in general work, the different types of meditation do the things they were always claimed to."
