Beacon Press, 1987. 8vo size trade paperback; 262 pages. From back: The Eastern practice of meditation has long fascinated the West. In this unique historical survey, (the author) brings his knowledge of Indic and world religions to bear on making meditation relevant to the Western reader... he explores the development of Eastern meditation as a systemic discipline with an interpretive reading of the principal Indian Hindu and Buddhist tests that appeared between 200 BCE and 200 CE... Free of any specific religious agenda, Johnson's useful book shows how meditation can help to heal psychic wounds and lead to authentic self-understanding and self-fulfillment." Edgewear and some wear to covers, creased spine. We note some minor annotations (stars and checks) in margins and inked underlining on several pages. . Trade Paperback. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
