The 108 meditations in this book offer a very contemporary respite from internal and external conflict. Their number and their form, however, is steeped in tradition. Onehundredandeight is a sacred number in Buddhism, where there is also the tradition of meditating with malas strung beads, which come in multiples of nine 27, 56, or 108.
Their form follows Buddhist tradition as well they're modern koans, or riddles to ponder, and dharma stories.
