[Buddha-l] Meditation changes the brain structure

[sjziobro at cs.com]

Is it not the case that our brain changes in accord with sensory input and/or intentional focus, anyway?  What really is new about this matter?

Albert Einstein on Compassion
A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe", a part
imited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings
s something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his
onsciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to
ur personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our
ask must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of
ompassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its
eauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such
chievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner
ecurity."
Letter of 1950, as quoted in The New York Times (29 March 1972) and The New
ork Post (28 November 1972)
