Over the past decade, the number of Buddhist meditation centers in the U.S. and around the Western world has more than doubled. Many more meditators practice in the Christian, Jewish, transcendental, and other traditions. Until now, however, surprisingly few teaching aids have shown the most fundamental techniques for beginners meditation to aspiring practitioners .
Meditation for Beginners fills that niche - with clear, authentic instructions from one of America’s most trusted and beloved teachers. Created specifically for beginners, this complete introduction to meditation features four classical mindfulness exercises. The Vipassana, or insight, practice on which these are based is said to have originated with the Buddha himself - yet it lends itself gracefully to a wide range of spiritual traditions, both secular and religious.
