This book is a must read for anyone who wants to get inspired to start meditation. Also if anyone is already practicing Vipassana/Anapana, would get benefited by getting more clarity about the technique.

All 6 reviews »The perfect inspiration to meditate.Webu Sayadaw's focus on Anapana is interesting and relevant even if you practice Vipassana meditation (As did U Ba Khin who is mentioned in the book). He is a true meditation master in the full sense of the word.
