Yeah. I had a Tibetan monk teacher. He used to say, "Mindfulness and meditation can be practiced for one of two reasons: 1) For spiritual salvation, or 2) To relax and have a nice life."

He was always laughing. When I visited him I would laugh so hard that when I left my cheeks would ache! That's what I remember about him. It had nothing to do with him being a Buddhist monk. He was such a cool, funny, relaxed guy. Always laughing and smiling.
