Extract: 'The aim of Buddhist meditation is to clear away the 'defilements' so that we can experience ourselves - more deeply and more truly - in our primordial purity, clarity, and freedom of mind. Meditation helps us to cut through the agonizing clutter of superficial mental turmoil and allows us to experience more spacious and joyful states of mind. It is this pure and luminous state that I call your Wildmind'.
