PREFACE

            We take refuge in the Buddha,

            We take refuge in the Dharma,

            We take refuge in the Sangha,

            We take refuge in the Triple Gem within ourselves

The Buddha Dharma is useless if it is not put into actual practice because if we do not have personal experience of it, it will be alien to us and we will never awaken to it in spite of our book-learning. An ancient said:

      Self- cultivation has no other method,

      It requires but knowledge of the way,

      If the way only can be known,

      Birth and death at once will end.

Therefore, in our self-cultivation, we should first known the way, and the Buddhas and great masters have taught us the appropriate methods in the sũtras and treatises. The purpose of this volume is to acquaint readers with various methods of meditation as practiced in China so that they can choose any one of them for their self-cultivation...
