- Mindfulness In Plain English -

From the introduction:
The
subject of this book is Vipassana meditation practice. Repeat,
practice. This is a meditation manual, a nuts-and-bolts, step-by-step
guide to Insight meditation. It is meant to be practical.
It is meant for use.
There
are already many comprehensive books on Buddhism as a philosophy,
and on the theoretical aspects of Buddhist meditation. If
you are interested in that material we urge you to read those
books. Many of them are excellent. This book is a 'How to.'
It is written for those who actually want to meditate and
especially for those who want to start now.
