Publisher's Summary

The deceptively simple three-phase method presented here is a meditation practice that can be worked with for a lifetime. Larry Rosenberg looks to Zen, to Insight Meditation, and to the teachings of J. Krishnamurti to find three kinds of meditation that anyone can do and that complement each other in a wonderful way: (1) breath awareness, (2) breath as anchor, and (3) choiceless awareness. Having the three methods in one's repertoire gives one meditation resources for any life situation. In a time of stress, for example, one might use breath awareness exclusively. Or on an extended retreat, one might find choiceless awareness more appropriate. The three-step method has been taught to Larry's students at the Cambridge Meditation Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for many years. After teaching the three-step method, Larry goes on to show how to bring the awareness gained in meditation to the world off the cushion, into relationships and into all areas of daily life.

Great for a practitioner, and a beginner as well

If you have some meditation experience, particularly in Dhamma, Vipassana, Mindfulness, Metta, and so on,,, this book may be more meaningful for you than for a complete lay person to this path. I have attended the 10 day Vipassana retreat and that is how my journey began. That was a huge experience and it cracked me open to a wonderful spiritual path, but I felt like I was left standing on a precipice. This book fills my heart, brought understanding to the Retreat experience and more, and helps me understand and provides guidance for: how to be in this world, how to meditate. It answers so many questions I have had along the way. The author is a wonderful teacher, and his "voice" and message is so loving. This book is easy to follow and the reader is perfect as well. I ordered a hard copy to enjoy so I can do lots of highlighting as there were so many ah-ha moments. This is the first time I have felt compelled to "review" a book, because it is only fair to let people know that is is lovely and great.
