Review
The reasons why we meditate are, paradoxically, both deeply individual and profoundly universal. This is precisely why the collection of essays in Breath Sweeps Mind is such an effective tool for teaching mediation. Each unique voice, from Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh to American poet Gary Snyder, speaks eloquently from personal experience. Yet the collection hangs together by a golden thread of purpose--helping readers obtain their highest spiritual and human capacities. Breath Sweeps Mind is excellently paced and edited, clearly speaking to the nitty-gritty tools and techniques (such as which clothes to wear and what to do with your tongue and hands) as well as the inherent rewards of meditation.
From Library Journal
A nice introduction to the practice and theory of meditation, including posture, breathing, and potential problems. All traditions are represented, with short pieces by a wide variety of teachers and ancient and contemporary textsAfrom the words of the Buddha to contemporary teachers such as Jon Kabat-Zinn and the Dalai Lama.
