The Quiet Mind is a classic (and true) story of a spiritual odyssey. John Coleman, a CIA agent in Asia in the 1950's, is forced to resign when his cover is blown. He embarks on a vigorous pursuit of a different sort: a quest for spiritual truth.

Coleman travels through India, Burma, Japan and Thailand and encounters such legendary teachers as Krishnamurti, Maharishi, D.T. Suzuki and Sayagyi U Ba Khin. His search for peace of mind and liberating insights comes to fruition in Yangon (Rangoon) under the tutelage of the great Vipassana meditation master U Ba Khin.

First published in 1970, this new edition will be welcomed by a new generation of seekers and those already familiar with it.

A Must for a initiator of Vipassna
The book is very interesting. It's about the journey of eastern globe by writer in search of quiet mind and how he got Vipassana. In the meantime he visited as many eastern tradition and religious practices but found all of them far away from mystic experiance. It is only vipassana which made it possible.

A unique travel story for Vipassana
The Quiet Mind, was a good fast read. With interesting accounts of various teachers, gurus, and techniques encountered by the author. The subject matter is very interesting ( 5 stars ) but the book does suffer from the writing, which is fair-good. ( subtract two stars) It reminded me often of "the snow leopard," but without the same level of writing (it deals a lot with zen for those of you who haven't read it). The actual technique of Visassana is not discussed but you do get to meet the teacher, and go back in time before Vipassana left India, and that may be worth giving this book 4 stars, but I will let you decide

Amazing unforgettable book
I don’t have any suitable word to express my gratitude to Mr. Coleman. Being a Vipassana meditator in his tradition I found valuable information about Guru U Ba Khin Jee and about his teaching method in this book. Amazing unforgettable book .
