Noah Levine: From Chaos to Clarity Through Meditation and Mindfulness
So it's an internal rebellion against the internal causes of suffering. And then it becomes also an external revolutionary stance to say: I'm not seeking my happiness through materialism, I'm seeking my happiness through an internal sense of well-being that negotiates and lives in this material world and participates on one level.
