Buddhist meditation is a method for examining reality, and Ingram offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and practicing it. He distinguishes between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation, provides example practices, and presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter. This new edition of the bestselling book includes new sections that bring further clarity to the author's ideas.

The concept that the teachings of Buddhism can be fully comprehended and practiced is a topic that sparks debate within Buddhist circles. Nonetheless, Ingram firmly maintains that enlightenment is a realistic objective, achievable once we shed our imaginative notions about it and learn to utilize meditation as a tool for exploring reality rather than a means of indulging in self-centered mind-noise.
Ingram offers a clear distinction between concentration-based meditation and insight (vipassana) meditation, providing practical examples and detailed maps of the states of mind that one may encounter and the stages one must navigate through as they progress through defined cycles of insight. Initially, it may be overwhelming to be confronted with Ingram's confidence and ease in the higher realms of consciousness, but consistently, he writes with an approachable and compassionate tone, making this book an invaluable resource for practitioners who are willing to dedicate themselves to their practice.
In this revised and expanded edition of the bestselling book, the author has rearranged, revised, and expanded upon the original material, while also introducing new sections that further clarify his ideas. This updated version is a valuable addition to the literature on Buddhist meditation, offering insights and guidance to practitioners on their journey toward enlightenment.
