Concentration And Meditation
A manual of mind development
By CHRISTMAS HUMPHREYS
President of the Buddhist society
PUBLISH NOTE
In 1943, the name of the Buddhist Lodge, the original publishers of this book, was changed to the Buddhist Society, London. As howerer, this present edition is a photographic reprint of the 1st edition, all stock of which were destroyed by fire during the war, no attempt has been made to change the ‘Lodge’ in the body of the work to ‘Society’. In the same way, any references to the Magazine, ‘Buddhism in England’ should now read ‘The Middle Way’.
