5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book for advanced and serious cultivators, 14 Jul 1998
By A Customer
There is a flurry of "spiritual activity" out there, with hundreds and hundreds of books expounding on spiritual cultivation and all kinds of esoteric or New Age practices. Oftentimes, the literature is confusing and easily leads the inexperienced reader astray. One would expect that the writer of such subjects to have at least some degree of personal attainment or realization, which I've found in general not to be the case. This is what makes this book all the more invaluable. Bill and Shu-Mei are serious practitioners who back theory with countless hours of practice and self-realization. They belong to a select few who have been trained directly by the great Master Nan Huai-chin, one of the few true Zen Masters still living today. Both spent more than 10 years in dedicated practice, all devoted exclusively to the pursuit of the Way. I was also one of the few who was priviledged to see a draft of this book before it came out (the authors' courtesy) a! ! nd was awaiting anxiously to see it out in press. I have very little doubt that Bill and Shu-Mei will emerge as among the foremost masters of Zen for many years to come. In the tradition of Master Nan, their approach is refreshingly non-sectarian, teaching the practitioner the practical aspects (what really matters!) of the various cultivation schools. By drawing the reader's attention to the common features underlying the various meditation techniques, the authors succeed in building from ground up a robust scientific and biophysical foundation for spiritual cultivation that demystifies much of the superstition and beliefs that have clouded this field in the past. Readers who are serious practitioners of meditation will treasure this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" book for the mechanics of meditation., 29 Jun 1998
By A Customer
Bill Bodri kindly sent me (an inquiring stranger) a draft of this book about six months ago, and I have been standing on one foot waiting for the final product since then. This will become a standard reference for those interested in the mechanics and comparative techniques of meditation. The technical content is from Ch'an Master Nan Huai-Chin, and it goes far in explaining the relationship between the meditation techniques of Taoism, Ch'an, and other Buddhist methods. The overall objective is to help the reader discover what types of techniques work well for himself, whether he is a beginner or an experienced meditator seeking to change methods (as was my case). For the latter, this text is all the more useful, since some of the methods presented already recognizably correspond to some of one's own meditation experience. This book is an important contribution to the Dharma, because it encourages one to try other methods instead of just quitting meditation practice because "the old magic does'nt work any more." The cautionary downside is that the practitioner must not jump from one method to the other, but instead must give a fair trial to the method of his choice. One method is not intrinsically better than another, just different. Which methods work for you is unique to yourself and quite unpredictable. Happy Sitting, Friends.
