Excellent Travis thank you ive been meaning to read this and didnt realize it was available online.Travis wrote:Buddhist Meditation: An anthology of texts from the Pali canon by Sarah Shaw
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Re: Recommended reading
I recomend reading Tyranny of Words by Stuart Chase. It deals with communication, abstract/conceptual thinking and general semantics i think it is no less than extremely helpful for understanding the Dhamma.
