The Practice of Tranquillity & Insight: A Guide to Tibetan Buddhist Meditation
By Khenchen Thrangu.
Description
This is a practical guide to the two types of meditation that form the core of Buddhist spiritual practice. Tranquillity (Samatha) meditation aims at stilling the mind, while insight (vipasyana) meditation produces "clear vision" or insight into the nature of all phenomena. These teachings are based on the eight chapter of the "Treasury of Knowledge" by the great nineteenth-century master Jamgon Kongtrul. With Thrangu Rinpoche's commentary, this complex, encyclopedia work is now made accessible to Western students of meditation. - from Amzon
