Is Teaching Meditation a Good Thing?

Rich: I was a monk, I had this brilliant idea of Ed Spass and I'm going to smash it. Why did you think I want to popularize meditation? What was the sense that you had that it was necessary? This is more tricky because it wasn't like a plan. So in the same way, people asking, why did you go away and become a monk? I felt an overwhelming sense that that was what I had to do.
