Rating: - Essential reading for the meditating practitioner
This sutra (along with the four foundations of mindlfullness) is a text on how to utilize mediatation to become enlightened.

These days there are so many books on how to meditate, why not read a book on meditation by a a master from 2600 years ago translated by one of the modern day living representation of the same master.
