The Buddha said that just as the great ocean has one taste—the taste of salt—his teaching has one taste: the taste of freedom. From the Buddhist perspective, that freedom is freedom from suffering.
In the process leading to deliverance, meditation generates the inner awakening required for liberation. The Theravada methods are rooted in the Buddha’s own experience, forged during his quest for enlightenment. Meditation as Taught by Buddha explores these methods “as they are,” offering an unaltered picture from a Buddhist perspective and a clear path toward peace and freedom.
