Summary: A Delightful Surprise
Review: I was in two minds about buying this one, expecting a dry treatise on a difficult text. I am glad I took the risk.

Ringu Tulku puts the subtleties and pitfalls of meditation into clear language, although I suspect much of it may seem obscure to those inexperienced in meditation. For those new to meditation, I would recommend reading Chogyam Trungpa's "Cutting through Spiritual Materialism" first, and finding a good teacher.

For the more experienced, Ringu Tulku sheds some much needed light on the many subtle sources of self deception. He is not only very readable, and even jocular at times, but he has a real knack for getting straight to the heart of the issue.

I would heartily recommend this book for anyone interested in better understanding their meditation practice, and in getting a helping hand over the obstacles.
