Can metta take me all the way to Enlightenment? How much meditation
is good for you? Why visualize an Enlightened being? Can you tell
if meditation is changing you? All of these questions and very many
more are tackled in this substantial compilation of
Sangharakshita's teachings on meditation. First published in 2012,
this volume draws from previously published works and from the
unpublished transcripts of seminars on a wide range of Buddhist
texts, from the Pali canon to the songs of Milarepa. The dialogue
form is a reminder that teaching is a communication, a creative
meeting between the depth and breadth of Sangharakshita's knowledge
and experience and the willingness of students to ask the kinds of
questions any meditator would like to ask if they had the chance
(or the nerve). Discussions reveal how Sangharakshita learned the
practices on which his system of meditation - 'an organic, living
system' - is based and how that system has evolved over the years.
Amid much curiosity about dhyana and Insight, and explorations of
how to deal with fear or distraction, doubt, drowsiness or desire,
topics also include such matters as whether it's good to meditate
in the open air and whether to include your least favourite
politician in your metta bhavana. To this edition some extra
material on 'just sitting' and the guru yoga has been added.
Whether dipped into, consulted on a specific subject or read from
cover to cover, the collection offers practical, inspiring and
encouraging advice for new and experienced meditators alike. It is
deeply imbued with the Buddhist vision of the role of meditation in
the quest for Enlightenment.
