The Purpose and Practice of Buddhist Meditation

This book is a substantial compilation of Sangharakshita's teachings on meditation, drawn from previously published works and from the unpublished transcripts of seminars in a wide range of Buddhist texts, from the Pali canon to the songs of Milarepa. The dialogue form of the text is a reminder that teaching is a communication, a creative meeting between the depth and breadth of the teacher's knowledge and the experience and willingness of the students to ask the kinds of questions any meditator would like to ask i they had the chance.
