I read this book slowly as a poet and meditation practitioner, with some very solid experience in the former and pretty good experiential grounding in the latter. I think it's like a guide book to a place that you can only really understand after you've visited it at least once. So the bits that I have experience with, I read and thought, yes exactly so! And also aha, so that's you I find that place again. The bits I didn't have experience with were sometimes beautiful and sometimes interesting but often quite opaque. It's hard to review this kind of book, I'm afraid.
The commentaries and introductions were very good and provided necessary background.
