Just sharing . To me , meditation is just like un-tie the rope , clear the room , seeing old photo , take out all book from the cabinet and place it back , looking your house from a hill , get out from the house , re-start engine....................freedom of attachment on current belief , faith , understanding , knowledge and question ownselves all over again .............

in my current understanding of Buddhism  , meditation is an awareness and is not a practice several times a day but is in each moment in our journey / our lifes ..................................but as human that still very much attached to myself , it seems very difficult to accept ............and "practicing " several times a day seems logical to some people  .

To me , "meditation " as in human concept can be any form as for me if I wish to search for an solution in business or any matter , I drive my car ...........perhaps that is a form of "meditation" to me .

      Introduction

American Buddhism

Dear Avisitor you said I Quote: "
Practicing with out progress for a long time.
But, practice is where I needed to go and do.
Looking for progress, I never found any
Just practicing, I found I am not the same .... hahaha" un-quote

I hope you dont mis-taken me for being confrontational or trying to find reason to against you ...I am not . Just sharing my view here with intention to learn not to teach .

Buddhism to me currently is not something you look for in TESCO or found something you had lost ........but is to realize what you had and let go .............so dear master , you could only found yourself no other than yourself...........and you will change naturally as you progress into your life ......with or without your practice or meditation because Buddhism is natural process that cant be stopped . So whether you choose to take longer bumpy road or a highway, is all up to you ....................by being awake to aware "what are you "not "who are you" , accepting " same and equal" ......you are actually " practicing meditation" each moment of your life ...........................

 
Dear Avisitor , you said I quote " My advice is to find someone who can help you.
A treacher or mentor.
Good luck" Un-quote
"
.........

In my current understanding of Buddhism ," Teacher" is all being.......any being , everywhere..........any animal , any plant , flower , flower pot , pen , rubbish etc is all around us ...why need to find ?

Human culture had created " distinction / comparison" and due to their "self' , their emotion , their knowledge ...they choose what they think they should know , they choose who should be their teacher .........they go with their emotion when choosing for teacher , so if you are a monk , bold your head , practicing meditation for hours , sta in monastry ...you are a target to be call a " teacher"..........many will regard you as teacher ...............same as in business , if you are Bill Gates and you wear a ten dollars watch , people will still think that watch you wearing worth millions ................but if a homeless wear a one thousand dollars watch , people will think that is a rubbish................why ? Because that is human culture and perhaps is same every where .................

Buddhism to me is beyond any differences ....................in Buddhism there is no right or wrong , no true or false and no good or bad .................

So if you always choose your teacher , you will know what you already plan to know and you will found something you wish to find , you will always be you , the one you know and the one you wish to know ................

In Buddhism , " good luck" is never exist as each moment in life is always a great source of learning.....
