In spiritual teacher Osho's Aspects of Meditation Book 2: Meditation, a Jumping Off Point, you'll discover a deeper understanding of meditation through an investigation into the subtle workings of the mind--concentration as a way to discover the self.

The West has taken to meditation with great enthusiasm. We contemplate. We concentrate. We embrace mindfulness techniques and a multitude of mantras. We have undertaken to "do" meditation.

The Aspects of Meditation series is comprised of brief, precious texts in which Osho shows us the core of meditation is not about sitting silently or chanting a mantra. It is, instead, a question of understanding the subtle workings of the mind. In Book 2, Osho explores the purpose of meditation: to discover the self.
