This book, stemming from the author's own deep experiences of meditation, strikes a chord with the reader and enables him to touch an unexplored realm within. The sheer simplicity and unimposing nature of Buddhist meditation can be truly experienced with the words and expressions of this much admired scholar. From the concepts of Samatha and Vipassana to the Noble Eightfold Path; from the objects and methods of concentration to the totality of perception-it succinctly and beautifully captures the entire gamut of the principles of Buddhist meditation. Sharp and perceptive at the same time, it makes us think, prod, ask questions and find our own answers.
