Abstract

A sane, practical guide to the art of meditation by a Swiss trained in Buddhism. The preliminaries are patiently and clearly dealt with and it is p. 112 before the author indicates that "meditation can now begin." Despite the Buddhist background, no religious commitment is presupposed. The approach is psychologically sound, the treatment free from obscurantism, and the manner engaging.--D. R.
