Here is a great talk by Rob Burbea that I'm listening to right now, and it's about this, the connection between meditation practice and engaging with the sufferings of the world :

How interesting that I am now reading, based on a recommendation, his "Satipatthana Mediation: A Practice Guide". He is a very clear communicator.

I read up on Bhikkhu Analayo a few years ago and read/heard some interviews. At that time if I remember correctly his practice regime was to sit solo retreat for 4 days a week and then do intensive translating for 3 days. Evidently he was a leading scholar/translator of Buddhist texts and an accomplished meditator. He said that because he didn't have the emotional distance from his work that other academics had he was much more productive. At some point I think he said he'd accomplished his translating goals and decided to go on to intensive meditation practice and teaching. He's German but spends a lot of time in Barre, MA.
