Heaven in Writing
This is an advanced short book written by Venerable Pa-Auk Sayadaw, Mindfullness of Breathing & Four Elements Meditation. It contains detailed instructions on how to meditate. This is a very serious book for the learning adept. It explains how to hold the 'Nimitta', a phenomenon that appears through a deeper level during concentration practice. He further details how to take that into 'Jhana', a state where the mind is free of any obstacles and distractions and fully absorbed in the 'Nimitta'. The book also discusses the Four Elements Meditation. I will be discussing the Four Elements in a separate post which will be critical to understanding the importance of this kind of meditation.
