Buddhist Meditation System
Chen, C. M.
FOREWARD
The inquiry into absolute reality has been a fervent wish of many people through the ages. Out of the multitude, only a few had discovered the right path and among those few, even fewer attained the absolute truth. The accomplished ones usually had no words to say when asked about their achievement for absolute reality is cognizable only through experience. By trial and error a seeker may discover the right path al last, but this process may be shortened or omitted if one has an experienced guide who is free from both sides-saying or keeping silence.
Now we are fortunate to have found such an experienced guide in the distinguished Buddhist Yogi C. M. Chen who, out of compassion, has enable the Ven. Sangharakshita and Ven. Khantipalo to write down this systematic and practical guide book for the benefit of the serious students in the Buddhist meditation in the English-speaking world.
It is hoped that sincere readers will read, reflect, and practise accordingly. Gautama Buddha’s teaching does not tell us just to believe blindly. It invites us to come and achieve results ourselves.
The Buddhist Yogi C. M. Chen has some other useful works in manuscript awaiting for publication. Interested people are welcomed to contribute for the cost of printing them for free distribution so that more phases of the Dhamma may be presented to the Western world.
May all attain the Peace Profound
