+Meditation means learning to control our minds, thereby protecting our minds
+from domination by delusion and other afflictions.  We may think, “Oh, I
+wish my mind were not dominated by ignorance and other afflictions.” But
+these afflictions are very powerful and very destructive; they operate despite
+our wishes.  We have to work to develop effective countermeasures.  We cannot
+buy such remedies from a store; even very sophisticated machines cannot
+produce them for us.  They are obtained only through mental effort, training
+the mind in meditation.
