Reviews

One of the classic Buddhist methods of meditation involves the gradual path to enlightenment. Following this path, the student passes from an awareness of the impermanence of all things (the initial level) to the knowledge of the suffering of cyclic existence (medium level) to the development of the mind of enlightenment. When practiced properly, Tibetan Buddhist meditation can reproduce this journey to enlightenment in the soul of the practitioner. To that end, Wangchen, a noted Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher, offers this little handbook of meditation practices and principles. Most valuable to large libraries interested in building an exhaustive collection in Tibetan Buddhism.
