Fulfill Your Potential Through Meditation
"I have been a citizen of two worlds, nourished from the great traditions of Western culture in my early youth, and sustained by the ancient and sacred traditions of the East, where I spent the greater part of my life.
It is hoped that this book will be a bridge between these two worlds, not as a manual or a mere source of information, but an incentive for others to cross the bridge in both directions."-Lama Govinda, from the book's Preface
From acclaimed interpreter of Tibetan mysticism Lama Anagarika Govinda comes Creative Meditation and Multi-Dimensional Consciousness, the essential guide to traditional Buddhist meditative philosophy. The celebrated writer, scholar, mystic, painter, and poet was especially adept at translating the wisdom of one culture to another. Speaking in terms familiar to Western readers, he distills the essence of enlightenment from Eastern traditions, conveying the fundamental concepts fully and effectively.
In the book's six major sections, he presents a clear explanation of pathways to assimilating meditation as reason, experience, intuition, art, contemplative thoughts, and dimensions of consciousness. Throughout the work he explores Buddhist spirituality and the basic elements of Vajrayana Meditation through methodical analogies. Specific topics and practices covered include breathing, prana, mandalas, tantric experiences, samadhi, dharma, imagination, psychic centers, mindfulness, space-time reality, enlightened awareness, and free will.
This classic guide, famous for "taking the mystery out of meditation," preserves the mystical appeal and beauty of personal discovery; it is an inspirational jewel for all meditation practitioners, yoga students, and those seeking spiritual knowledge.
This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a hardcover (ISBN 1648373291).
