The Purpose and Practice of Buddhist Meditation: A Source Book of Teachings

How much meditation is good for you? Why visualize an Enlightened being? Are there places that meditation doesn't reach? All of these questions and very many more are tackled in this substantial compilation of Sangharakshita's teachings on meditation, drawn from previously published works and from the unpublished transcripts of seminars. Discussions reveal how Sangharakshita learned the practices on which his system of meditation – 'an organic, living system' - is based, and how that system has evolved over the years.
