Book Recommendations?

投稿: 1310 参加年月日: 20/05/04 最新の投稿
When I first came here and I comitted to changing to Vipassana, Chris Marti had me get two books

  • MCTB2
  • Seeing That Frees by Rob Burbea
I have read those both extensively. In addition I have read all the  Pragmatic Dharma e-books. Now, I'm looking for some dharma/meditation books that I can buy and highlight. So, I'm looking for your recomendations?

Two other books that Daniel Ingram and myself liked: gesture of awareness, clarifying the natural state

Gesture of awareness https://www.amazon.com/Gesture-Awareness-Radical-Approach-Movement/dp/0861715063

http://awakeningtoreality.blogspot.com/2012/11/gesture-of-awareness_30.html

For Mahamudra style shamatha and vipashyana: Clarifying the natural state which you can get for $2 at http://awakeningtoreality.blogspot.com/2020/05/mahamudra-books-for-cheap.html

Personally i think this one is also great for mahamudra:

Wizard of Earthsea -- one of my favorite books of all time and also referenced in MCTB. A mytho-poetic description of the journey of human development that maps well to the maps. 

I nice departure from the technical dharma stuff.

Leigh Braisington's Right Concentration is also a quick read with some good pointers on Jhana ect.

Brandon, on Right Concentration, I haven't discussed the Jhanas at all with Abre. Does this book show you how to get into them?

It does, but it's also just a good general guide to concentration practice. I think I've only every stumbled into Jhanas a handful of times but I still found it useful.

Which reminds me. I also like The Mind Illuminated, at the least the first half. I don't know about the higher end of the practice, but I think the first half of TMI has some of the best instruction on concentration practice out there.

Pepe:

Thanks to Pepe, and Brandon for leaning in the Right Concentration direction. While I did not end up with Right Conccentration, Pepe, for you 2nd link where Brassington lists all the Jhanic teachers, I remembered the name of Shalia Catherine https://www.imsb.org/about-us/founder-and-principal-teacher-shaila-catherine/ who gave a great talk on the Jhannas with Ajahn Brahmavamso, so I bought her Jhana book instead.

I also ended up with Shinzen Young's The Science of Enlightenment and The Way of Effortless Mindfulness By Loch Kelly https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1683642325/TF8&psc=1 which is a non dual book.

Thanks everyone!
