This best-seller is in a new handy format and features brand new illustrations. Extract: 'The aim of Buddhist meditation is to clear away the 'defilements' so that we can experience ourselves - more deeply and more truly - in our primordial purity, clarity, and freedom of mind. Meditation helps us to cut through the agonizing clutter of superficial mental turmoil and allows us to experience more spacious and joyful states of mind. It is this pure and luminous state that I call your Wildmind'.

Of great help to people interested in meditation and an inspiring reminder to those on the path.A" -Joseph Goldstein, cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society and author of 'One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism' Bodhipaksa has written a beautiful and very accessible introduction to meditation. He guides us through all the basics of mindfulness and also loving-kindness meditations with the voice of a wise, kind, and patient friend.A" -Dr. Lorne Ladner, author of 'The Lost Art of Compassion'
