I had no idea about this. Listening to a repeat of a Tim Ferriss<\/a> podcast with famed Buddhist writer and teacher\u00a0Jack Kornfield<\/a>, he expressed his love of \u2026 paragliding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of my favorite things is to tandem paraglide and go off the top of places like Grindlewold in Switzerland, where you can take the ski lift up 9,000 feet and then jump off and float silently, like you\u2019re a bird among the clouds. The birds actually do come by sometimes and check out, what\u2019s this big bird flying up here? You can catch thermals and go way up above the glaciers. And it\u2019s one of the most thrilling and delicious experiences that I know.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That’s right! One of the most influential figures in bringing meditation to the West understands some of the magic of flying.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cMost people have these dreams once in a while, if you\u2019re lucky, a dream of flying. Or maybe in your meditation, you have the sense of not being limited to your body. And this is the closest thing that I know because it\u2019s absolutely silent, and you\u2019re floating there. It\u2019s quite fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That’s all I’ve got. But I think it’s fun to see this icon gets it. He really gets it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
