About the author
William Bodri is credited with two titles from Weiser Books concerned with meditation and comparative spiritual philosophy: Socrates and the Enlightenment Path, which draws connections between Buddhist thought and Socratic philosophy, and Twenty-Five Doors to Meditation, co-written with Lee ShuMei, a guide describing a range of meditation methods aimed at reaching samadhi. Both books treat meditation practice as a subject that can be approached comparatively, across Western philosophical and Buddhist traditions, and are written for readers already engaged in a meditation practice who want a broader map of available techniques and their philosophical background. The catalogue does not provide further biographical information about Bodri beyond these two titles.
