Everybody's lives vary. We Kadampas learn to do meditation, even through what is called the meditation break. A student of ours just had a baby not too long ago, and the baby is demanding a lot of her attention right now. So, I was encouraging her to keep her practice going, even though she can't formally sit and meditate. So, what we do is learn to meditate formally, and that's called the meditation session. That may be ten, 15 minutes a day. For most of us, we're lucky if it's ten or 15 minutes a day. We learn to take what we have developed in our minds. So, a mind of love, a mind of patience, or a mind of kindness, and bring it into the meditation break which is so much longer than the formal seated meditation. A lot of Kadampas love this, because we don't want to, or we don't have the time to sit formally in meditation for a long part of the day.
