Books like Right concentration by Leigh Brasington


Leigh Brasington demystifies the Buddhist jhanas, the successive states of deep focus or meditative absorption that underpin Right Concentration in the Eightfold Path. The book presents the jhanas as a series of eight progressing states, beginning with bliss and moving toward radically non‑conceptual experiences. Targeted at practitioners rather than scholars, it offers plain, accessible instructions, warns of common pitfalls, and provides rich background on the theory and practice of jhana meditation.
