What Is Meditation?: Buddhism for Everyone

Here is Buddhism in a nutshell: In just over a hundred pages, using simple language that anyone can understand, What Is Meditation? delivers as complete a treatment of Buddhist teaching and practice as many books twice its length. It covers both the basics of the Buddhist worldview—which many people call a philosophy, not a religion—and the age-old practice it offers to help us unfold our innate qualities of compassion, self-acceptance, and inner peace.
