This manual presents an intimate and detailed picture of the intricacies of meditation so vividly that the reader is drawn into a Tibetan world-view of spiritual development. Geshe Gedun Lodro, one of the foremost scholars of Tibet, reveals methods for overcoming afflictive states and disorders to create a mind which is stable, calm and alertly clear. The dangers of not recognizing states contrary to successful meditation are great, and the possibilities of implementing the wrong antidote or of over-extending an appropriate one until it becomes counter-productive, are many. Through such detail Geshe Gedun Lodro makes vividly clear a Tibetan approach to meditative transformation.
