This was a very thought-provoking post. But I don’t fully understand what you are trying to say.
You say that Buddhist meditation developed in a context of severe inequality and poverty—which are obviously not good things. Then you say that Buddhist meditation should not be divorced from its cultural context. I did not understand exactly what context you believe we need to preserve. Could you please elaborate on that?
I hope you are still reading replies here. 🙂
