Any new people, studying & practicing Buddhism-Have you read the book, "The Beginner's Guide to Insight ....

Question

Meditation" By: Arinna Weisman and Jean Smith ?

It is from a Theravada Buddhist Perspective.
Quite excellent reading, teaches Loving-kindness
Meditation, Mindfulness Meditation, and Insight Meditation, (the hindrances to meditation) Teaches the Middle Way {Eightfold Path), the Divine abodes, and so much more interesting information.

Was just curious if anyone has read, studied (and practices these teachings of Siddhartha Gautama) ?

Answer 1

As a Tibetan Buddhist I've studied such things from a Gelugpa lineage perspective... very wonderful stuff no matter what the vehicle you prefer.
