Publisher's Synopsis
The manuscript for this book was written over fifty years ago at a meditation center in Sri Lanka. The author, David Leonard (A. Mahinda), a monk at the time, had just completed a strenuous course of meditation. He felt it would be helpful to record the essence of the instructions and experiences embodied in the practice.
It has been read and approved by a number of respected teachers and developed meditators. It has been copied in manuscript form hundreds of times over the years and given to meditators prior to undertaking a course of practice. Now, for the first time in over fifty years, it is available for everyone.
