Author Robert Wright shared this conversation he had with his first medtiation teacher in his book “Why Buddhism is True.”

Teacher: So you notice that your mind keeps wandering?

Wright: Yes.

T: That’s good.

W: It’s good that my mind keeps wandering?

T: No. It’s good that you notice that your mind keeps wandering.

W: But it happens, like, all the time.

T: That’s even better. It means you’re noticing a lot.
