Advancing from Mindfulness to Deep Meditation

This manual provides comprehensive practical guidance for developing the jhanas (profoundly serene and blissful states of meditative concentration), potentially all the way to the cessation of perception and feeling (nirodha samapatti) - the highest meditative attainment possible according to the early Buddhist scriptures.

The manual is designed for mind training in meditation retreat settings and includes on- and off-the-cushion practical advice for the following practices:

Mindfulness Four jhanas Four formless attainments Cessation of perception and feeling (nirodha samapatti)

It is suitable for anyone aspiring to go beyond basic mindfulness on a meditation retreat. The mindfulness techniques can also be applied in regular meditation practice at home.
