Developing an effective meditation practice

is the first step toward discerning the true nature of mind and reality as taught by Buddha Shakyamuni. In Stillness, Insight, and Emptiness, Lama Dudjom Dorjee offers instructions that will help beginning meditators establish a firm foundation in the practices that lead to direct realization.

Topics such as finding the best meditation posture, learning to direct and focus the attention, expanding the mind's scope, and realizing the luminous and spacious qualities of the mind are explained in terms that are both encouraging and easy to understand.
