MEDITATION RESOURCE DIRECTORY
A unique and important feature of Wisdom Roads is the meditation resource A directory that is intended to take the reader's engagement with the eight meditation masters in the book to another, more practical level. There is a multitude of opportunities available for exploring meditation study and practice both in the U.S.A. and Canada as well as in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and certain countries in Europe.
For the various meditation wisdom traditions found in the book, a sub-. stantial and representative selection of names, addresses, telephone/fax numbers, and especially Internet listings where available is provided.
I recommend a quick click of the mouse to get you on-line with some of the centers often colorful Web sites that are also outstanding sources of information.
Every reader of Wisdom Roads is strongly encouraged to learn first-hand about the rich resources for meditation that these meditation centers and monasteries offer. They are eager to share their insights and knowledge with spiritual seekers regardless of religious affiliation. Through the focus on meditation, these centers are helping bridge the legendary and historic divide between East and West, even as they quietly continue to grow and flourish in today's aptly named global village.
I would also note that in addition to the centers listed here, there are many other notable centers, teachers, and courses of meditation available to the discerning individual. This resource directory is a good place to begin.
