How to Meditate

A Practical Guide, Second Edition

What is meditation? Why practice it? Which techniques are best? How do I do it? The answers to these often-asked questions are contained in this down-to-earth book, making it of enormous value for anyone who wishes to begin and maintain a meditation practice. Written by a Western Buddhist nun with solid experience in both the practice and teaching of meditation, How to Meditate contains a wealth of practical advice on a variety of authentic techniques, from what to do with our minds to how to sit to visualizations and other traditional practices. Best of all, McDonald's approach is warm and encouraging. The next best thing to personal instruction!

Good content Strange Narrator

I really tried to listen to this book but the narrator did me in as so distracting. The content was good but probably best to purchase the paper book and read it that way. I am returning this one.

Kathleen McDonald gives great insights

Kathleen McDonald gives not only great insights on meditating but also on particular tenets of Buddhism.

A Great Gateway to Meditation

This book covers both the lay and Buddhist perspectives in a light, clear and effective manner. The writing is engaging. When someone asks about meditation this is the book I give them. A true classic.

Very good, just not what I expected

It was very detailed and very complete. However, I thought it would be less about Buddha and more about how to do it... Learn it step by step.
