Synopsis

The New Meditation Handbook Our experiences of happiness are fleeting and short-lived, while inner peace eludes us completely. Our negative states of mind create endless problems for ourselves and others, and prevent us from fulfilling our deepest wishes. Buddha's popular teaching on the Four Noble Truths offers a clear and simple solution. Full description

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The New Meditation Handbook is a practical guide to meditation. It teaches us how to make our self and others happy by developing inner peace, and in this way to make our lives more meaningful. Without inner peace there is no real happiness at all. Problems, suffering, and unhappiness do not exist outside the mind; they are feelings and thus part of our mind. Therefore it is only by controlling our mind that we can permanently stop our problems and make our self and others truly happy. The 21 Buddhist meditation practices presented in this book are actual methods to control our mind and experience lasting inner peace. This extremely practical guide is an indispensable handbook for those seeking happiness and meaning in their lives.
