I need to read a 500 pages book to get started? I've had a few mindfulness mediatation sessions with a teacher, and he was able to convey the most important parts in 10 minutes.
- konradb 9y agoJust to get started you would read the first chapter or two.
- mooseburger 9y agoNo, you don't need to read the whole book just to start. It divides the practice into ten stages, and you don't move on from a stage until you have mastered it. So you only need to read about the first stage to get started. Mind Illuminated isn't really about mindfulness meditation though, but about getting to the threshold of Enlightenment (this does involve mindfulness).
- rhizome 9y agoIf anybody just wants to have some grease to start, get the Kabat-Zinn book and listen to the CD.
