Will Thich Naht Hahns followers adapt Richard Davidsons tools how to become happy on a scientific basis? And will does monks who do not possess hardly anything by Biosemi amplifiers from Neurospec in Stans in Switzerland for 10 000 USD? And will they buy shares from a Meditation Research Institute Switzerland (MRIS) from which we can buy shares on Swiss stock exchange? Is practicing meditation not about non attachement to the world?
There are many retreat centers around the which are sustainable, for instance Plum Village in France or the Isha Foundation from Sadhguru in India. Some of them have done meditation research as the Isha Foundation and the Meditation Research Institute at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama in India. But is this meditation research sustainable?
For meditation researchers who live according to the principle of non-attachement to the world, tools for meditation research need to be affordable, and research project need to be sustainable.
Sports man who swim, bike and run have a lot of tools presented by DC Rainmaker. But which tools have non attached meditation researchers? We currently have the Fenix 6 for respiration rate for breath meditation. But is this enough?
We hope that more and more Meditation Research Intitutes will arrise, which are connected to retreat center, who do basic meditation research. We also hope that meditation reserachers around the world will update the tools presented here in our journal for fun and in their spare time. In this way, we have the biggest chance that those will be successful.
Some of the meditation researcher occasionally receive grants or are students who want to do meditation research. Students who live in retreat centers as those from Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, shown here in a documentary filmed from drones flying through the air, showing Thich Nhat Hanhs last years of his life:
We asked ourselves, was this documentary filmed by a marketing agency who want to sell us the books of Thich Nhat Hanh? This question appeared in us because of the drone sequences and because of the professionality of the film. How high where the costs to record this documentary? “I Have Arrived, I Am Home” is a new documentary from filmmaker Max Pugh (A Cloud Never Dies, Walk With Me). But does Pugh want to sell us another film to make money out of it? We miss studies about teachers like Thich Nhat Hanh from scientists.
