Dom Aelred Graham addresses a Catholic audience on the subject of meditation by speaking his own experience with it as a young Benedictine monk. He warns of the possible pitfalls of an overly intellectual approach to God through one's meditative efforts, but also discusses some possible benefits to the spiritual life. Graham shares some thoughts on Buddhist insight and manner of meditation and draws some parallels with Christian precepts. There are also strong cautions against obliging everyone to engage in meditation and against practicing intense meditation without the assistance of an experienced guide.
