I'd like to parse one distinction that I think will help you with your new meditation practice. Meditation from the Hindu lineage was designed and devised to help you transcend your thoughts so that you could realize your oneness with the universe or your inner divinity. Now, Buddha was a Hindu, the way Jesus was a Jew and after studying for many years, who does understanding of the universe was that there was no self to transcend, and there was no God or anything divine to transcend to. So mindfulness meditation is designed in Dubai, to help you exercise your mind as if you were exercising a muscle so that you can strengthen it and gain control of it, so that it doesn't drag you around like wild horses.
