Did the Buddha ever say excessive meditation is bad? I believe that I remember once reading that the Buddha abandoned excessive meditation. Is this true?
the buddha says that ''with excessive thinking and pondering I might tire my body, and when the body is tired, the mind becomes strained, and when the mind is strained, it is far from concentration.''
