‘Ratnaguna’s book The Art of Reflection is a refreshing and engaging read. It’s an appeal to all who consider themselves to practise ‘spirituality’ not to forget about the need for thinking, reflecting. When I read it I remember something that my Zen Teacher Philip Kapleau once said: ‘Most of us don’t think, instead we engage in ‘thoughting’.’ (A word that Kapleau invented to name some kind of passive mental activity where thoughts just feed thoughts without reflection or direction.) The Art of Reflection is well written and although it raises complex issues it is very easy to read. I highly recommend it.’ - Roshi Sante Poromaa, teacher at Zenbuddhistiska Samfundet
