How do you know? Hostile isn't the word; more like contemptuous. Also, I have not been able to get my meaning across very well if she talks about this:
" you may even find what looks (to outsiders) like senseless dogmas and rituals are actually time-tested ways to discipline bodies and minds in such a way that you would be able to achieve an experience "beyond labels, language, images, anticipations, attachments" as you put it."
How can any dogma or ritual (which is old) get you to the truth (which is always new)? Why would it be necessary to discipline the body? What's wrong with the body?
