Some Zen schools describe such study as poisonous to your practice and preach PAINTED CAKES WILL NOT SATISFY HUNGER! My Thai Buddhist monk teacher told me that I did not need to read anything, so this can cause a lot of confusion. I do not want to upset your practice, but the greatest book on how to do Insight Meditation seems to be Mindfulness in Plain English . And the main Bible of Insight Meditation seems to be this book, The Heart of Buddhist Meditation . I read it 25 years ago and immediately fell in-love. It really gets to the heart of Buddhism. You will discover how and why the vipassana practice will help you in ALL areas of your life. In relationships. In your job. In reducing anxiety and tension. It is simply a must read for someone WHO IS NOT PRACTICING WITH A TEACHER RIGHT NOW. If you aren't, get these two books. The Why is in this book. The How is in Mindfulness in Plain English . If you have $200, The Insight Meditation Course is simply wonderful. And you will have a teacher by e-mail and by mail. Good luck. One more thing. Stretching exercises may really come in handy. Doing the lotus position can really be a blessing. A lot of schools in Buddhism heammr in the need for study.
