Book Reviews of Finding the Still Point (Book and CD): A Beginner's Guide to Zen Meditation (Dharma Communications)

Book Review: A very effective invitation to sit
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a beginner, so this very direct and helpful little book really does the trick, with a clean and simple display of zazen practice in a convenient package suitable for traveling along with me. The CD reinforces and extends the teaching and encourages a beginner like me to start sitting regularly.

Through Zen meditation it is possible to find stillness of mind, even amidst our everyday activities-and this practical book-and-CD set reveals how. John Daido Loori, one of America's leading Zen teachers, offers everything needed to begin a meditation practice. He covers the basics of where to sit (on a cushion, bench, or chair), how to posture the body (complete with instructional photographs), and how to practice Zen meditation to discover the freedom of a peaceful mind.

The accompanying CD is a meditation companion. It has ten- and thirty-minute timed practice sessions, along with guided instructions from Daido Loori and an encouraging talk on the benefits of meditation.
