THE MEDITATOR'S ATLAS - MATTHEW FLICKSTEIN



THE MEDITATOR'S ATLAS - MATTHEW FLICKSTEIN

RATING: B-

Although coming from a predominantly Theravadan viewpoint, this 'guide to meditation' is helpful whichever Buddhist path you follow. I would call it more of a GPS system than an atlas, however. It offers direction along the pathways more than illustrating the path itself, which is done by the sutra that the book bases itself upon. It covers the entire pathway of Buddhist meditation starting from square one right through until enlightenment and is suited to all practitioners whatever stage they are at offering explanations of clarity upon the main text.

I would recommend this book to those wanting a step-by-step guide suited to any path of Buddhist meditation. It would also be of use to those with meditation questions but no teacher.
