Meditation books?
    #5723832 - 06/07/06 06:11 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Can anyone suggest some good books on meditatative techniques?

What ones would you recommend for someone who is looking to experiment with many different styles, to try and find one appropriate for them?

Superb book!

Not Always So - by Shunryu Suzuki is another good one too.

Haven't had a chance to look at Not Always So ... but it's definitely on the list now.

zen mind, beginner's mind is a great book, but doesn't really delve into meditation techniques. it certainly is a good book to read when on the meditative path.

be here now has nothing to do with teaching meditation.

zen training is a great book on meditation, detailing the science behind lung capacity.

meditation for dummies is also a fantastic book. sounds cheesy, but details many different ways of meditating.

Mindfulness in Plain English

By the VENERABLE HENEPOLA GUNARATANA MAHATHERA

The complete text of this popular book is online here. Some people say it's the best book ever written for beginning meditators. Using down-to-earth, nuts-and-bolts language, it explains how to practice Vipassana meditation (also called insight meditation). The result is increased mindfulness (also called bare attention or witness consciousness).

The Heart of Meditation by Swami Durgananda
Its a fairly basic book and the reading is not too heavy.
