I think the harm in meditation comes from following un-buddhist techniques, such as those that supposedly open up our third eye, or take us out of our bodies.

From a biography of Ajahn Chah by Ajahn Jayasaro: "He [Ajahn Chah] had one experience where he was in his glot [??] in the forest and these wild dogs came. It was very freightening cause you've just got a very thin cotton curtain between you and all these very fierce wild dogs, but again this idea o...
