Goenkeji's fireside chats,
By
This review is from: Discourse Summaries (Paperback)
The material in this book is not as personal and revealing as in the videos presented in the 10-day Vipassana meditation workshop (I've attended 5 10-day events as of Jan 2007); however, if you are looking to study and get clear on the 8 pathways, the 3 kinds of Panya, etc., this book will give you what you need to outline and organize the ideas logically. This book is NOT as good as being there. The Vipassana experience has given me the tools to assist me in mentally solidifying my walk on the path.

Vipassana Meditaion Course Summary,

This book contains the lectures given during a 10 day Vipassana course. Great book to read if you are curious as to what is taught during the meditation training.

It Really Is The Discourse Summaries,
By
This review is from: Discourse Summaries (Paperback)
I was a little dissapointed to find out that this book really is just a repeat of everything he says in the discourses at the 10-day course. Somehow I guess I was thinking it'd be different. If you've done the course, you've heard this all before. If you haven't done the course - don't read this book! Go take a course!
Goenka rocks, this book you could skip. Check out the other collections of his writing for more stuff that will compliment the course rather than repeat it. (Or, if you want, simply keep this as a reference to remember what the discourses say)
