Love him - He was my Vipassana teacher in 1986 or 7 for hundreds of hours in connection with my job at that time.

Shinzen Young is my favorite cd-&-mp3 meditation guide. Sounds True offers this and another set of introductory guided Buddhist meditation sessions. Many will appreciate that his presentations are non-denominational. His voice is both cheerful and calming.

Excellent cd for beginners. Soothing voice. Easy guided instructions. This is my first cd on meditation and my favorite.

What a disappointment. I can see why this has been discounted to $2.49. I can't even describe how bad the content is. As for the narration, I'll just say Shinzen Young's voice is more of a distraction than a help in achieving any level of meditation, and his delivery is simply awful.

I don't get the sense that he is teaching from any level of actual realization, but is simply giving out instructions from a manual that he has read.

Zero stars - don't waste your money. Don't even take it as a free gift if offered, seriously. Sorry to have to come across as harsh, but IT IS THAT BAD.
