That's very nice blanket statement.

I don't know, I don't think I am trying to 'cover all the bases' with one comment. I just think that there are some common aspects that present themselves when you investigate meditation practices (Or as CapnObvious would say...look them up on Wikipedia...LOL) that transcend any religious or cultural references. In a bad analogy its like writing. You can write with a pencil on paper in a number of different languages about an infinite number of things. Maybe from ancient Egypt the writing stylus has changed and maybe the paper has changed but the actual practice of putting characters on something to record an idea or memory is the same. I look at meditation the same way.
