e-Sangha discussion

Hi, my name is Gerardo. I'm new in this group. I'm trying to find a good and serious book about meditation. I dont have any previous experience in this issues so I will appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Francesca, thank you for your help. As soonest as I finish the Dalai Lama book, I will star reading "Star Where You Are".
Thanks again and have an excellent weekend!

I've found Jack Kornfield to be helpful as well. And yes Pema Chodron definitely.

Thanks for the suggestion Josh, I will try to find some Jack Kornfield's books too!

I agree that Jack Kornfield (great sense of humor) and Pema Chodren are wonderful. I am also a big fan of Joseph Goldstein.

Thanks for the suggestion Dominique, I will try to find some books!

Mindfulness in Plain English is recommended in another thread but it happens to be a book I just started reading and I think you would find it helpful.

Here is the link for a free kindle ebook that is short and to the point regarding meditation. For a freebie I thought it was pretty good and dont let the introduction put you off. Its a little hokey but from chapter one on its fairly strait forward and written with the absolute beginner in mind.
An easy guide to meditation

Thanks Lissalye, I already have a copy of that book at home. If I dont have any surprises at work, I will star reading it this weekend. Regards!

And I had just download the kindle version of "An easy guide to meditation". Thanks again Lissaley!

Very welcome Gerardo.
