  • In
  • the
  • seventeen
  • years
  • since
  • Diamond
  • Key
  • for
  • Opening
  • the
  • Wisdom
  • Eye
  • was
  • first
  • published,
  • the
  • number
  • of
  • publications
  • related
  • to
  • meditation
  • and
  • mindfulness
  • has
  • skyrocketed.
  • As
  • the
  • practice
  • of
  • meditation
  • has
  • grown,
  • more
  • people
  • may
  • be
  • experiencing
  • its
  • benefits,
  • but
  • there
  • is
  • also
  • a
  • risk
  • of
  • watering
  • down
  • and
  • distorting
  • the
  • Buddha's
  • authentic
  • teachings
  • on
  • the
  • subject.
  • This
  • makes
  • the
  • original
  • purpose
  • of
  • this
  • book
  • even
  • more
  • relevant
  • today.Extensively
  • revised,
  • this
  • second
  • edition
  • includes
  • color
  • photos
  • to
  • illustrate
  • various
  • concepts
  • and
  • objects
  • of
  • meditation,
  • clarifies
  • difficult
  • passages,
  • and
  • provides
  • additional
  • information.
  • The
  • subject
  • of
  • this
  • book
  • is
  • meditation
  • as
  • well
  • as
  • the
  • Five
  • Paths
  • and
  • Ten
  • Bhumis.
  • The
  • Five
  • Paths
  • and
  • Ten
  • Bhumis
  • are
  • the
  • complete
  • spiritual
  • road
  • map
  • for
  • the
  • attainment
  • of
  • Nirvana
  • or
  • liberation
  • and
  • Enlightenment
  • or
  • omniscience.
  • The
  • ultimate
  • result
  • of
  • training
  • in
  • Shamatha
  • and
  • Vipassana
  • meditation
  • is
  • to
  • lay
  • the
  • groundwork
  • for
  • the
  • journey
  • through
  • the
  • sequential
  • order
  • of
  • the
  • Five
  • Paths
  • and
  • Ten
  • Bhumis.
  • To
  • lay
  • the
  • groundwork,
  • a
  • clear
  • distinction
  • is
  • made
  • between
  • what
  • meditation
  • is
  • and
  • what
  • meditation
  • is
  • not.Furthermore,
  • a
  • clear
  • understanding
  • and
  • proper
  • method
  • of
  • Tibetan
  • Mahayana
  • Buddhist
  • meditation
  • is
  • presented
  • to
  • help
  • remove
  • many
  • of
  • the
  • preconceived
  • ideas
  • about
  • Buddhist
  • meditation,
  • which
  • in
  • its
  • authentic
  • form.
  • remains
  • a
  • fairly
  • new
  • concept
  • and
  • practice
  • within
  • the
  • Western
  • world
  • and
  • its
  • culture.
  • In
  • addition,
  • in
  • conjunction
  • with
  • the
  • presentation
  • on
  • Vipassana
  • meditation,
  • this
  • book
  • clearly
  • explains
  • the
  • Buddhist
  • concepts
  • of
  • subtle
  • impermanence
  • and
  • emptiness.
  • The
  • presentations
  • on
  • subtle
  • impermanence
  • and
  • emptiness
  • are
  • based
  • on
  • the
  • flawless
  • teachings
  • of
  • the
  • great
  • third
  • and
  • fourth
  • century
  • Indian
  • masters
  • Nagarjuna,
  • Chandrakirti,
  • and
  • Dharmakirti.
  • These
  • masters'
  • teachings
  • on
  • subtle
  • impermanence
  • and
  • emptiness
  • are
  • considered
  • by
  • many
  • as
  • the
  • most
  • logically
  • and
  • scientifically
  • accurate
  • within
  • Buddhist tradition.
