True Meditation
104 pages, 2006
Adyashanti found that most seasoned meditators used Zen as an end instead of a means to an end. True Meditation invites you to join the growing number of seekers who have been touched by the wisdom of Adyashanti to learn about how true meditation is about letting go of all techniques, even the concept of yourself as a meditator.
Adyashanti, who was a philosophy professor before becoming a spiritual teacher, has created an eight-CD series that takes listeners through a life-changing "inner journey" designed to reveal the true nature of awareness.
In True Meditation, Adyashanti explains that meditation is not about controlling your thoughts or achieving a certain state of mind. Instead, it's about letting go and surrendering to the present moment. This is a fresh perspective that can change the way you approach meditation.
Adyashanti emphasizes the importance of silence in meditation. He suggests that silence is not just the absence of noise, but a profound quality of being that can be experienced at any moment. This is a powerful concept that can deepen your meditation practice.
In the book, Adyashanti introduces the practice of inquiry as a tool for self-discovery. He encourages readers to question their beliefs and assumptions, which can lead to profound insights and personal growth. This is a great way to explore your inner world.
Adyashanti suggests that enlightenment is not a distant goal to be achieved, but a reality to be experienced in the here and now. He guides readers on how to recognize and embrace their true nature, leading to a sense of peace and freedom.
True Meditation is not just about theory, it also provides practical guidance. Adyashanti offers clear instructions on how to meditate, along with tips to deal with common challenges. This makes the book a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced meditators.
