In this tape series, Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, and Shinzen Young explore various forms of meditation based on the idea of "beginner's mind."

The secret of meditation practice is shosin, "beginner’s mind" – a boundless and original mind that is compassionate, alert, and empty to receive all possibilities. Now three leading voices in American Buddhism gather together to teach the traditional meditation techniques that make this supreme awareness state open to anyone on this program.
