This title has two purposes - to introduce the reader to the essential principles of Buddhism; to describe how to meditate in a way that anyone can understand and follow; basic meditation exercises for beginners are included. In short, it is the answer to those who ask what is Buddhism all about? and what is Buddhist meditation? Buddhism is essentially a collection of skilful methods of working with the mind. If we understand and apply these to our lives, we would unfold our inherent ability to experience inner peace, compassion and wisdom by developing the basic potential of our minds. This potential is within each of us and anyone can realise it by making the effort. Buddhists therefore have no sense of being different or unique. The study and practice of Buddhism are not matters of custom. We do not have to sit in a particular way or wear special clothes, or appear in a certain way. Such superficial matters are of no importance. The teachings are concerned with the diminishing and eventual elimination of our negative patterns, not changing our superficial appearance. This title helps to guide us along that path.
