5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Guide 1 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
A very helpful book for everybody who wants to practise meditation seriously. Goldstein is a renowned meditation teacher, but in this book he also shares his own painful and joyful experiences on the spiritual path in a warm and honest way. The book is absolutely readable for total beginners and yet still interesting for experienced meditators.

Very useful in terms of practical suggestions for meditation. Tends to emphasize freedom more than compassion and makes occasional references to "past lives" which doesn't really jive with my belief system.
