I have promised myself to read a book monthly, apart from my regular work, and as for the month of August, I decided to read a book called “Stages of Meditation”. This book was composed by Acharya Kamalashila (A Nalanda Scholar who was invited to Tibet by the King of Tibet; in the 8th century), and His Holiness the Dalai Lama has given many teachings of it. I highly recommend this book to all the friends who are interested in Meditation. This book is written for a Buddhist Practitioner however, it has highlighted many strategies and tips which could benefit even for a non-Buddhist. For example, it has mentioned about the diet you should follow and what kind of environment is suitable for a beginner etc.. At last but not least, I pray that this book will benefit you as much as it did to me.
