Description

The esoteric practices followed in the quest for divinity generally remain a secret to the world--kept cloistered away for only the most ascetic practitioners. Now Daniel Odier having immersed himself in the life and spiritual practices of Buddhist and Taoist monasteries throughout India Nepal Sri Lanka Thailand and Japan reveals actual teachings passed on by the sages who are living expressions of their tradition. Looking beyond doctrine dogma and philosophical treatises that ignore direct experiences of the practice Odier provides a direct path to the heart of the religious experience that can be discovered through meditation. Beginning with the simple and fundamental steps necessary to prepare for meditation Odier guides the reader through the specifics of the mental disciplines and visualisations that Buddhist and Taoist masters have used for ages in their quest for illumination. To devote oneself to meditation in the sense understood by Buddhists and Taoists is to realise the understanding of how every fibre of our being converges with all creation. MEDITATION TECHNIQUES OF THE BUDDHIST AND TAOIST MASTERS is a valuable guide to all who are in search of that realisation.
