5 out of 5 stars One of the best buddhist meditation manuals available.......2007-01-12

So much fluffy stuff has been written about meditation in recent years that it can sometimes be difficult to even know what the word means. This book, through clear language and concise instruction, blows any fuzziness about what meditation is, how to do it, and what to expect from the practice competely away.

Based on a series of instructional lectures and Q&A sessions at a meditation retreat, Calming the Mind is one of the best manuals that a student of Buddhist (or any other spiritual tradition) meditation is likely to find. The lama's straight forward descriptions remove some of the mystification that seems endemic to some other instructional works without oversimplifying what is called for.

Highly recommended for any serious student of internal spiritual development.

4 out of 5 stars Fairly good book on tranquil abiding........1999-04-12

This book is a guide to the development of tranquil abiding/meditative quiescence/samatha as taught in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. There is really nothing new here that cannot be found in standard lamrim texts, but the subject matter is fleshed out somewhat in a fairly nice fashion. Its main drawback stems from the conception of the book, which is just a reworking of a series of talks the author gave to a group of Westerners at the beginning of a year-long meditation retreat aimed at developing tranquil abiding. As such, some of what it has to say may not apply to the reader. Also, it will not address some of the peculiar problems any reader might encounter if they themselves set out to do such a retreat. Those wishing to develop tranquil abiding themselves will need to do their own retreat under the guidance of a teacher, but perhaps this book could prove useful by giving them the bare outlines of what it is they are to do and why. An added bonus is the gorgeous tangka on the cover.

5 out of 5 stars Practical Intro to the Development of Concentration.......1998-10-06

Shamatha meditation, a Tibetan name for all meditations that settle, focus, and concentrate the mind, is not unique to Buddhism. In fact in many ways part of Buddhism's fresh approach is that it took this particular kind of meditation and in a sense "secularized" it - essentially removing some of the religious symbolism and esoterism that surrounded the development of concentration in India. Shamatha meditation is unique in that it's "contentless" and provides the foundation for all other religious practices.

Book Description

Practiced throughout the world for thousands of years, meditation has become increasingly popular. Today, everyone from holistic healers and spiritual teachers to overworked mothers, stressed-out students, and caffeinated businesspeople are taking the time to engage in mindful contemplation. Harnessing the power of meditation - or mind training - offers many benefits both mental and physical. How to Meditate uses a friendly, heavily illustrated approach to make an activity that is both art and science easily comprehensible and infinitely practical. Author Paul Roland describes a full range of strategies and activities, including basic relaxation, breathing techniques, creating a personal sanctuary, visualization, activating the chakras with color, and using affirmations and mantras to help invoke the meditative state.

5 out of 5 stars Best book on Meditation.......2003-07-30

This book is such a find if looking for a valuable resource on all there is to know about meditation. The author writes of his own experiences, as well as different approaches to meditation and visualizations. There are a myriad of different types of meditations offered in the book, in addition to a plethora of knowledge and tools.

5 out of 5 stars A very good and concise introductory meditation book.......2001-04-14

I have been doing transcendental meditation regularly for two years. I happened to see this book in a Natural Wonder's store. I sat down and read the first couple of chapters and was very impressed. I wish I had read it before getting into meditation. But even now it is very helpful and informative. The book is straightforward and does a good job in covering many different topics.

4 out of 5 stars the easy illustrated meditation book for beginners.......2000-12-25

This book is my first meditation book and gave me a general idea about meditation with plenty of beautiful illustrations which helped me practice the meditation on the book. The breathing technique decreased the tension of my mind at my first attempt of it. Especially, I like the sections of visualization, positive thinking, and affirmation on the book. I had gotten stuck in a negative thinking pattern for a long time. By the meditation practice of visualization and affirmation, I am getting released from my negative thinking pattern which tormented me for such a long time. I am sure that the book will help you be freed from your negative thoughts or problems. You will enjoy the real freedom of your mind at last.
