Praying with a mantra
The John Main Center for Meditation and Inter-Religious Dialogue at Georgetown University has become a focal point of meditation among college students. The center is named after a British Benedictine monk who helped popularize Christian meditation beginning in the mid-1970s.

Students gather at the center twice daily, seven times a week, for 20-minute sessions. The center also serves as a focal point for talks and other interreligious activities.

The connection between Christian meditation and interreligious dialogue is natural, said Freeman. “In contemplative experience we pass beyond divisions into the common ground. Differences remain but they are no longer barriers to friendship. Meditation is a universal spiritual wisdom entered through silence, stillness and simplicity.”

Not good. :ohno

Certainly smacks of 'vain repetitions' as well.
