This is the first-ever guide to provide detailed information about
a variety of meditation methods from many of the world's
cultivation schools. These methods are designed to help the
meditator attain samadhi, the crux of spiritual development. Most
masters teach only one or two cultivation methods, however Bodri
and Lee include a healthy list of 25 different techniques,
including: the Drinking of Life methods practiced by the first
Indian Zen master; the White-Boned Skeleton visualization; the
bardo yogas and dream yoga practice of Tibetan Tantra; the
classical Hatha Yoga method of Pranayama breath cessation; and the
"left hand" sexual yoga practices of Taoism. Each cultivation
method is explained thoroughly in terms relative to the overall
goals of the cultivation paths, and in reference to the terminology
of various schools in order to show the interrelationship between
the different paths to enlightenment. Buddhist techniques can be
explained through Taoist principles, Christian techniques through
Hindu principles, and so on. No single book has ever discussed so
many techniques, as well as how they fit into the overall stages of
the cultivation path.
The authors give the scientific basis behind the samadhi
techniques, as well as their potentional stages of accomplishment
and an extensive list of recommended references. This is an
excellent book for individuals who want to find an appropriate
meditation technique. Teachers can use it to make sense of the
seemingly conflicting information that is present regarding the
path to spiritual enlightenment.
