Editorial Reviews

Accompanied by a 118-page illustrated companion book, this audio is intended to guide listeners/readers through the meditation process. Author Thondup (The Healing Power of Mind), who narrates, begins by discussing the purpose of meditation for attaining the Buddhist view of loving-kindness. The presentation initially takes the form of a lecture; only by the second disc does Thondup address the actual steps necessary to meditation. Each of the tracks, some as long as 18 minutes, focuses on a different aspect of loving-kindness meditation. Recommended only for those listeners who are new to meditation and might want to be talked through it.—Deb West, Gannon Univ. Lib., Erie, PA
