Reply #5: "Anecdotal" evidence, i.e. the experience of experienced meditators [View All]

[Speck Tater]

in non-Tibetan traditions (Theravada, Chan/Zen, etc.) demonstrate the same outcomes. Regardless of what was or was not specifically demonstrated by this study, the commonality of the experience is taken for granted among experienced Buddhists from all over the world.

As for the study itself, this correlation is something that only needs to be proven to non-meditators. Those who meditate require no proof, they have their direct experience. Just as you might need to prove to the color blind that red is different from green, while those who see color require no proof, because they have their own direct experience.
