On Meditation works like a meditation itself, at once profound and simple. It is a quiet and thoughtful compilation of contemporary portraits that explore the deeply personal practice of meditation in its myriad forms. Sit with a host of diverse practitioners—teacher Sharon Salzberg, writer Peter Matthiessen, psychiatrist Mark Epstein, actor Giancarlo Esposito, a Buddhist monk from Tibet, and others—as they go deep inside and offer a rare glimpse into their private insights and rituals. What does the path of the inner journey, which is above all private and interior, really look like?
