| | I recommend Dharma That Every Buddhist Must Follow by Amang Nopu Pamu, a book that has been called the mother of the mother of all dharma by a famous dharma king (who was humble enough to call himself "a simple monk"). No matter what tradition in which one has taken refuge, one may rely on this text as definitive teachings and guidelines for that tradition and all Buddhist traditions.

I also recommend Ken Wilbers book Integral Spirituality, which may serve as an overview of as well as an introduction to his system of mind state mapping. Integral Spirituality also explains short comings (mainly unnecessary taboos, and important stages) overlooked in the Buddhist tradition and how to not get stuck, which is so common. One can expect Wilber's system, outlined in this book, to round out and boost your practice, as well as heal and prevent wounds.
