    I could listen to Thich Nhat Hanh for ever. He has the most mellifluous and gentle voice and he is so thoughtful in his delivery.

    This audiobook is a good introduction to mindfulness meditation and buddhism.

    Known for bringing Insight Meditation to the West and for his many best-selling books, including A Path With Heart, Jack Kornfield now offers a collection of his most popular teachings with Buddhist Mediation for Beginners. This specifically designed gift set includes four complete audio learning courses.

    Story

    This book is disappointing because it a jumble of lectures/seminars/talks, some of which are repeated almost verbatim!

    The content is interesting and informative-once. But hearing the same anecdote three times becomes tedious.

    Demystify mysticism and learn techniques to move yourself beyond emotional and intellectual blocks into a realm of clear insight and inner peace. In this complete curriculum for self-investigation Shinzen Young - one of America's foremost meditation teachers - covers traditional teachings, scientific insights, and practical instruction to show you exactly how enlightenment works, and how to begin your own journey to inner liberation. Topics include concentration, awareness, and merging techniques to explore the self and the world around you, how spiritual practices work in Buddhism, Christianity, Jewish mysticism, Sufism, Hinduism, shamanism, and many other mystical traditions, as well as 6 complete guided meditation sessions and a host of insights on how to choose and establish your own meditation practice.

    If you could sum up The Science of Enlightenment in three words, what would they be?

    Any additional comments?

    Shinzen Young's explanation of meditation is fascinating. It helped me see the world in a different way. Mr Young has a pleasant and clear voice and the book contains theory and practice. First I listened to the whole thing in the car and when I was at the gym, then I used the guided meditations.

    Mr Young's formal training is in Buddhism, however he has studied meditation as it is practiced by many religions and cultures, as well as looking at meditation from a scientific angle.

    Highly recommended for those who are interested in practicing meditation. I know I will listen to the whole book again and again.
