As a Westerner Fluent in the Practice of Eastern Meditation, Young Has Set Himself the Goal of Making Meditation More Easily Available to Average Western People. He Has Reformulated Buddhist Concepts Into Language That Westerners Can Understand, and Has Developed a Website Through Which He Teaches Online Classes so As to Make Meditation Instruction Available to Most Anyone Regardless of Location Or Financial Resources. His Third Goal is to See Buddhism and the Long Training Period Necessary to Learn How to Become a Skillful Meditator Become Obsolete Through the Development of a Merged Western-Eastern Neuroscience and Brain-Based Approach to Meditation. He is Excited to Note That Part of this Merging Between Science and Meditation is Occurring Today With the Development of Mindfulness-Based Forms of Psychotherapy.
