Ask HN: Where did you learn to Meditate?

[codyZ]

I'm curious to find out how many people on HN actually meditate, given its 'popularity' with media and how it gets attention on HN.

Also, where you learnt it from, book, online, zen-center, spiritual guru? The specific type of meditation I'm referring to is the inactive, contemplative state where you focus on breathing and not meditative exercises/practices.

Disclosure: I'm thinking of starting a group to travel to a completely remote and secluded Daoist temple in China to stay for a month.
