Which version of meditation is better?

[mac99]

Which one do you think is better in terms of spiritual development, which one would take you deeper and farther? This is only for mindfulness meditation in formal sitting meditation. 12/hrs of meditation per day for 10 years, or 4/hrs of meditation per day for 30 years?

It’s a bit odd that you ask which meditation is better but then say only mindfulness meditation. 
 

Also, a lot of what determines success with meditation has to do with what you personally respond well to. It’s not going to be the same for everyone. 
 

Mindfulness meditation how it’s practiced by many people is potentially one of the less effective variants. There’s also much variety to be found in “mindfulness meditation”. Some watered down and westernized forms are not anything compared to mindfulness meditation done within a different context of teachings or tradition.
