Experience of Samadhi. In-depth Study of Buddhist Meditation

In this research book, Dharma teacher and experienced meditation practitioner Richard Schenkman explores a wide range of traditional views and teachings, sometimes contradictory, on how samadhi (concentration) is understood, taught, and practiced. In the first part of the book, the author examines an extensive spectrum of teachings related to samadhi, analyzes various approaches, and how they can enrich and enhance our meditation practice. The second part consists of a series of interviews with prominent contemporary Buddhist teachers.
