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...
