Review by Library Journal Review

This disc focuses on an unusual category of meditation-that of meditating in hopes of increasing others' well-being. The first meditation is titled "Cherishing Others" and proposes that we must concentrate on wishing for others that they be free from suffering. The last two pieces are titled "Taking Away Suffering" and "Giving Happiness." These are essentially the same as the first, with a few variations in wording. Being unselfish in one's meditative practices is the key here. The unnamed narrator has a mellow and soothing voice. The production inserts many long pauses for the listener to focus thoughts on the narrator's suggestion. An accompanying booklet includes the text of the meditations and a discussion of how ours is a self-centered world. The production would have been improved by creating three separate meditations with more obvious differences rather than essentially repeating the same meditation three times.-B.
