Buddhist meditation center Atlanta.

I went to a really cool center in the Atlanta area the other night. They offer a free meditation class for new arrivals to the center and have open meditations throughout the week. I always enjoy walking into a room where a lot of people have meditated on a regular basis. The energy hit me when I drove up on to the centers property but I got a better feel of it after entering the main meditation room. It was a nice feeling, and the people running the center all had great energy. I'll likely be going back again when I have the time.

Don't be distracted by such things. You should be able to meditate just as well on a dirty street corner surrounded by homeless people shooting smack.

I've come to the conclusion by many of your post that you have no understanding or a limited understanding of how energy effects the world we live in. Your above comment is like telling me "In this room many people were murdered a few years ago. So sit down an meditate and ignore anything you may experience or feel.".

People tend to use the term energy when they really mean feelings. It's nice to have nice feelings about a place, but the point of meditation is to overcome such symbolic knowledge. For my own part I experienced enlightenment in a parking lot during a lunch break from a temp job. It doesn't matter where you are.

I'm happy for you, however I'm done having conversations with you. If you would be so kind please refrain from commenting on any of my post in the future. You have a great rest of the day and thank you.

What Bhagavad **** said is true, what you are saying is true also, its the same coin, see both sides, and take your pick.
