5.0 out of 5 stars ACTUALLY LEARN TO MEDITATE, 12 Oct 2006
All I have ever wanted to do was to meditate, and I have brought many meditation books, but none have been simple or even gave me any motivation to meditate.

This book provides all the knowledge and meditations that are needed to attain inner peace and is set up in a easy manner (it can be used by anyone from beginner to advanced).

The beginning of the book teaches us why and how to do basic breathing meditation.
The next part of the book explains why we should practice the 21 meditations in the book (which are really good).
Then in the next part, there are the 21 meditations for you to do. It is set out so that you can do one a day (or more if you wish).

What I really like about this book is that the 21 meditations are set out in such an easy to read manner. Each meditaiton provides a quick introduction to the meditation, then it provides the contemplation (for you to meditate on) and then the main point to focus single-pointedly on. It is THAT SIMPLE. And even better, at the end of each meditation, Geshe-Kelsang writes a paragraph as to how to put that meditaiton into practice in your daily life. Therefore, this book can be applied to one's whole life.

The meditations can take from 5 minutes to as long as you like. I work a lot of hours, therefore this book is vital to helping me develop the minds to get enlightened. Believe me, once you start those 21 meditaitons, your life will be better (as well as everyone else's).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great + profound book on Buddhist meditation!, 30 Sep 2006
By Mr. Jendrik Rohsius (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is wonderful! Only after really working with the meditations and learning more about the Buddhist Path to Inner Happiness I understand the value of it. It is concentrated stuff, and I spend sometimes a week on one meditation, like for example the 'Precious Human Life' meditation. I found it very uplifting and practical. Some are challenging, but that is what i like about it. It is not wishy-washy, but crystal clear and to the point. I do use the ' Transfor your Life' book as well, to compliment the 21 meditations! I can just say that this book shines!

1.0 out of 5 stars Leave it on the shelf, 29 Aug 2008
This is a rigid and prescriptive book where subjects are lectured on rather than a book that encourages a free thinking explorative approach.
As has been said before there are many better books on the market covering this topic, Guided Meditations on the Stages of the Path by Thubten Chodron for one, also available on amazon.
