When the Iron Eagle Flies by Ayya Khema
An account of the central Buddhist philosophy, concentrating on the Vipassana meditation tradition. Practical exercises are used to illustrate the concepts being discussed. Since the book is a transcript of a series of talks, each chapter ends with a short section of questions and answers.
