Dr Miguel Farias, from Coventry University's Centre for Advances in Behavioural Science, said: "The popularisation of meditation techniques, like mindfulness, despite being taught without religious beliefs, still seem to offer the hope of a better self and a better world to many."

来自考文垂大学行为科学研究中心的米格尔·法拉博士称：“冥想技巧的普及，如打坐，虽然没有宗教信仰的教导，但似乎仍然给我们带来一个可以打造更好自我和更好世界的希望。”

"A person may have the expectation of becoming a better person through meditating, and may believe that to be the case - but in fact this has not been proven."

“一个人或许可以通过冥想希望成为更好的人--但事实上，这还没有得到证实。”

The lack of a positive change in compassion he said was not surprising as in most instances to improve compassion or empathy this would involve spending more time interacting with others.

冥想对改善同情心的作用有限，这并不令人感到意外，因为在大多数情况下，若想改善同情心，就需要花费更多时间与人进行互动。

"If you want to meditate because you want some quiet time and time to relax, I see no issues, but the benefits it can have on a person's character are limited, if you want to be more compassionate go and volunteer at a charity."

“如果你是因为需要安静一会儿或放松一下而冥想，我认为这没有问题。但冥想在塑造性格方面的作用很有限。如果你想更富有同情心，还是试试去慈善机构做志愿者吧。”
