Meditační techniky buddhistických a taoistických mistrů – Odier Daniel (2016)

Esoteric techniques aimed at seeking divinity usually remain hidden from the world – preserved in monasteries only for the most ascetic practitioners. Now, Daniel Odier, after immersing himself in the life and spiritual practices of Buddhist and Taoist monasteries in various parts of India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Japan, reveals teachings passed down by sages who are living embodiments of their traditions. Odier looks beyond doctrine, dogma, and philosophical treatises that overlook the direct experiences of practice, presenting here a path to the core of religious experience as it can be discovered through meditation. He begins with simple and fundamental steps necessary for preparing for meditation and guides the reader through the specifics of mental exercises and visualizations that Buddhist and Taoist masters have used for centuries. To devote oneself to meditation in the sense understood by Buddhists and Taoists means to understand that every fiber of our being is connected to everything that exists. The book 'Meditation Techniques of Buddhist and Taoist Masters' is a valuable guide for anyone on the path to knowledge.
