[Book] The Mind Illuminated

[Nicolas]

Have any of you read the new book by Upasaka Culadasa, The Mind Illuminated? I've heard good things about it online.

[Aloka]

I haven't read it myself.

According to this website:

With over four decades of mediation experience, Culadasa builds on the nine-stage model of meditation originally articulated by the ancient Indian sage Asanga, crystallizing the entire meditative journey into 10 clearly defined stages.

The Indian teacher Asanga (3rd-4th century) is well known in Tibetan Buddhism - and he claimed to have been transported to the Tushita heaven and given teachings from the next Buddha Maitreya.

There are no stages in real meditation, there is only meditating and not meditating.

There is no hierarchy that is real, ignore them all.

When you are thinking then you are not meditating, when you are meditating you are not thinking,

The End

I have it and I think it is a pretty good introduction and practice manual.
