First, meditation doesn't have any primary meaning. Everybody uses it to mean whatever they want and there is no agreement on what it means.
That's what a bad word is.
Second, what everybody in this forum means by
meditation is
Faith-based ritual designed for attaining enlightenment
People who try to rehabilitate the word "meditation" are trying to push a religious practice incompatible with Zen:
Huineng:
To sit and not lie down during one's lifetime
To lie and never sit during one's death time,
What should we thus task
This stinking bag of bones?
Meditation isn't a real thing. Zen Masters don't teach it. People who say so are religious bigots.
