Another view is that to be totally absorbed (completely un-distracted) by a topic of any kind is the same as concentration meditation, and has the same effect on mind. This means that enjoying doing problem solving is not contradictory to Buddhism, any more than enjoying your meal totally would be. Then, you are left with contemplative and spacious meditation to do separately. | |
