Placement Meditation Richard Josephson

The Buddha never taught to eliminate thought, but rather how to think. He never taught us to get rid of afflictive emotions and disturbing thoughts, but how to turn them around and transform them. This book is not about emptying the mind, but how to experience the clear, bright knowing awareness that is its nature. As one who has developed a lifelong meditation practice for fifty-years, ten of which as a fully ordained bhikshu, in these few pages I try to set out how to build a personal meditation practice that you will enjoy and find solace in for a long, long, time.
