Thanks, Alobha
To answer your question, three years ago, after reading about the psychological benefits of meditation, I attempted basic breathing awareness. After that, I became interested in the spiritual aspect of meditation and eventually stumbled across online Dhamma talks from the likes of Matthieu Ricard. I found the talks beneficial to me, and I've been a "follower" ever since

Greetings Tom and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.
