so you meditate daily everyday for the rest of your life to attain something that you might not reach in this life (nibanna),

That sort of assumption comes from one who has no understanding of Nibbana as the Buddha taught it.


so that it will eliminate what exactly?? All kinds of bad mental habits that contribute misery to oneself and cause one to spread misery to others. Some find this to be quite a significant thing, and much more significant and important than superstitions and pie-in-the-sky appeals to ego.

i guess if your lucky enough you could attain stream winner in one lifetime, Where are you getting this assumption from?

but even then what would be the benefit of that? You mean your teachers don't tell you this? I would fire them!

i guess you wouldnt be able to yell at people or feel miserable when you stub your toe, hardly seems like the result is worth the effort. So tell me, what's in it for you?
