Meditation Now or Never by Steve Hagen Average Rating: "Steve Hagen, the author of Buddhism: Plain and Simple,
is the best introduction to Zen and Buddhism you can find.
Written in language we regular folks can understand,
yet carrying the full meaning and experience
of the more ancient/esoteric writings.
Meditation is the bedrock
of fully experiencing the Zen and Buddhist message.
Meditation Now or Never should be a jewel in your personal tools pack.
I can not overly praise this man's works.
And he is a practicing monk as well.

Mindful Living: A Collection of Teachings on Love, Mindfulness, and Meditation by Thich Nhat Hanh Average Rating: "I have never been to a retreat with T.N.H., but after listening to this audio book, I feel that I have almost as much information and "vibes" as I would if I had attended one with him.Throughout the recording, the bell is invited, and along with the group, you are invited to breathe mindfully along with them. ..."
