Tina Interviewed by TIME Magazine

Tina has recently been interviewed by TIME Magazine Executive Editor Naina Bajekal for a feature article regarding meditation and the jhanas. According to the World Economic Forum, TIME has one of the largest readerships in the world, at 26 million globally and 20 million in the US. Tina is quoted and referenced several times in the article. Unfortunately, the article describes what is actually access concentration, and presents it as jhana. With TIME’s wide readership, there is also the risk of the “McMindfulness” phenomenon that happened with Vipassana meditation, now happening with the Samatha practice. But, maybe some of the people who get involved will go deeper in their practice with teachers such as us at LMS, and others. Tina is already having people who did the retreat described in the article, come to her for deeper teachings.

The biggest surprise was that the article has a direct link to the Luminous Mind Sangha website! Click https://time.com/…/jhourney-meditation-jhanas-retreat…/ to read the electronic version of the article. The article will also be in the August 8 print edition of TIME.
