Study and Practice of Meditation gives a vivid and detailed account
of the meditative practices necessary to develop a calm, alert mind
that is capable of penetrating the depths of reality. The Buddhist
meditative states known as the concentrations and formless
absorptions are best known in the West from Theravada scriptures
and from Vasubandhu s Treasury of Manifest Knowledge. In this book
the reader is exposed to Tibetan Buddhist views on the mental
states attained through meditation as described by three
contemporary Tibetan lamas. The book discusses the ways in which
certain meditative states act as bases of the spiritual path, as
well as the nature of meditative calm and the prerequisites for
cultivating and attaining it. In addition to reviewing and
translating Tibetan sources, the author considers their major
Indian antecedents and draws comparisons with Theravadin
presentations.
