Synopsis:
In our search for happiness, we need not look far. True happiness is not found through the conquest of nature or the acquisition of wealth and fame - it is found within by realizing the potential of our hearts and minds. In Genuine Happiness, Alan Wallace, scholar, translator and longtime Buddhist practitioner, helps you embrace the joy within through the unique power of meditation.Based on over 30 years of study and practice, Alan Wallace describes a range of Tibetan meditation techniques from the simplest mindfulness of breathing to the exalted methods of Dzogchen.
Encapsulating the most promising principles of Buddhist teachings, Wallace outlines the five essential Tibetan meditations that will help you achieve greater happiness: meditative quiescence: mindfulness of breathing, settling the mind in the natural state, and cultivating awareness; the Four Applications of Mindfulness: the fundamental teachings on the cultivation of insight; the Four Immeasurables: compassion, loving-kindness, empathy, and equanimity - the heart's path to genuine happiness; plus Dream Yoga, and Dzogchen: the Great Perfection.
"A treasure chest of wisdom: clear, inspiring teaching jewels. It is an excellent support for any student of meditation." Sharon Salzberg.
"Alan Wallace displays his rare talent in boiling down the complex to the clear and in guiding readers through a practical path to contentment." Daniel Goleman. |
