- the value of going on a meditation retreat;
- links between Buddhism and psychology in terms of healing and self;
- the problem of spiritual bypassing;

- the role of Buddhist ideas in activism and social justice work;
- and the most important thing researchers can measure as an outcome of meditation practice.
