Hi,

Can you please help find an instruction via book, website to read about the tradition and instruction on how to use physical object as a meditation object.

Thanks.

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

For a comprehensive description of the practice of all meditation subjects including the kasinas, the description begins at chapter three of the Visuddhimagga.
