I have been studying buddhism for over 30 years.first by reading books others recommended. then I joined a buddhist group where I lived.i filly found a well trained westerner to do so theni found I needed other teachers. I attended other workshop day workshops or listened to teachers on podcasts or streaming online and then went to a wee-end workshop about an hour frommyhouse. I discovered I like the way other teachers taught sandlike to attend their workshops and I bought this book becasueimet hm while was taking a workshop in estern massachsuetts. He is gentle, knowledgeable and is the student of Ayya Khemma ; she wrote many books. I recommend this book because he talks aobut the 'Jhanas ' and how to attain or study these teachings in your. journey toward enlightenment ,samadhi aka: happiness..

This is not an ordinary book on concentration, samadhi, or the jhanas; there is an abundant supply of those, to that I can attest. No, this book is a book on actually practicing Right Concentration, with your 'teacher' right there to guide you. Although no book can replace the actual experience, the author meticulously explains what needs to be done, and what will happen along the way, including examples from his own practice. This is a jewel for those of us who are interested in delving deeply into the mind.
