Providing step-by-step guidance for every stage of the meditation path, this uniquely comprehensive guide for a Western audience combines the wisdom from the teachings of the Buddha with the latest research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Clear and friendly, this in-depth practice manual builds on the nine-stage model of meditation originally articulated by the ancient Indian sage Asanga, crystallizing the entire meditative journey into 10 clearly-defined stages. The book also introduces a new and fascinating model of how the mind works, and uses illustrations and charts to help the reader work through each stage. This manual is an essential read for the beginner to the seasoned veteran of meditation and can be read from front to back, or used as a reference guide, choosing chapters as needed based on the current state of the reader s practice."

This is by far the best book about meditation and I have read quite a few.
This books gives very precise instructions how to meditate and also explains in a very logical way why to do exactly this.
This simply makes the book enlightening!
If I could I would give it 10 stars.
I already have read some sections multiple times. I sure I will read the entire book multiple times.
