520    Behind the stereotype of a solitary meditator closing his 
       eyes to the world, meditation always takes place in close 
       interaction with the surrounding culture. Meditation and 
       Culture: The Interplay of Practice and Context explores 
       cases in which the relation between meditative practice 
       and cultural context is particularly complex. The 
       internationally-renowned contributors discuss practices 
       that travel from one culture to another, or are surrounded
       by competing cultures. They explore cultures that bring 
       together competing practices, or that are themselves 
       mosaics of elements of different origins. They seek to 
       answer the question: What is the relationship between 
       meditation and culture? The effects of meditation may 
       arise from its symbolic value within larger webs of 
       cultural meaning, as in the contextual view that still 
       dominates cultural and religious studies. They may also be
       psychobiological responses to the practice itself, the 
       cultural context merely acting as a catalyst for processes
       originating in the body and mind of the practitioner. 
       Meditation and Culture gives no single definitive 
       explanation, but taken together, the different viewpoints 
       presented point to the complexity of the relationship.
