The Posture of Meditation by Will Johnson

Some quotes

 “The Buddha enumerated approximately forty different techniques, and the Vigyana Bhairava Tantra (which Paul Reps translated in Zen Flesh, Zen Bones) lists one hundred eight different forms of practice, any of which is capable of taking the practitioner to the highest stages of realization.”

“the act of sitting itself may become even more important than the technique we are supposedly practicing while sitting.”

Thoughts on the text: This book came out in 1996. There are so many aspects to practice. There's figuring out the path, and what elements work for you to progress. There's figuring out how to relate to sangha and what sangha or sanghas do you want to work with. How many pujas can you get ahold of? Stripping it down to the studs, you enter the body. And inside the body, outside the body in mediation, there is posture. 

In the age of information, I think it's hard to read through a whole book, even a small one like this.
