Shamatha meditation is a method for achieving previously
inconceivable levels of concentration. Author B. Alan Wallace, an
active participant in the much-publicized dialogues between
Buddhists and scholars, has more than 20 years' practice in the
discipline, some of it under the guidance of the Dalai Lama. This
book is a definitive presentation of his knowledge of shamatha. It
is aimed at the contemporary seeker who is distracted and defocused
by the dizzying pace of modern life, as well as those suffering
from depression and other mental maladies. Beginning by addressing
the inherent problems that follow from an inability to focus,
Wallace moves on to explore varying levels of meditation. The
result is an interior travelogue that recounts an exciting,
rewarding "expedition of the mind," tracing everything from the
confusions at the bottom of the trail to the extraordinary clarity
and power that come with making it to the top.
