To Read

• Manual of Insight - Mahasi Sayadaw - Seems to have multiple recommendations in /r/streamentry. Seems big.

• Focused and Fearless about using the breath as your object of concentration, while WWD goes into the broader range of using different objects to ease one into Jhana, kasinas, Brahma Vihara, etc. It also includes using the breath, in one chapter.

• Wisdom Wide and Deep by Shaila Catherine - "Great manual for Jhana and Vipassana"

• The Mind Illuminated

• Right Concentration - Leigh Brasington

• Shift into Freedom by Loch Kelly - "He's an authorized teacher of Mahamudra and makes it's all very clear and concise. I like this book so much because I come from a Theravada background so it was refreshing and the practices in the book are very helpful."

• Mindfulness in Plain English. Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English. Loving-Kindness in Plain English - Bhante Gunaratana

• Bhante G's The Path of Serenity and Insight - "It's a thorough treatment of the jhanas and includes kasina meditation."

• Wheels of Life, Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith. - About Chakras and stuff.

• The Advaita Bodha Deepika - is a book I've enjoyed reading, as is the Ashtavakra Gita. They don't use Buddhist terminology, but they're clear and lucid pointers and descriptions of the truth.
