Synopsis:
USA paperback edition. For millennia, Buddhists have enjoyed the limitless benefits of meditation. Mingyur Rinpoche reveals the principles behind this ancient practice providing clear insights into modern scientific research which shows that systematic training in meditation can enhance activity in areas of the brain associated with happiness and compassion.
With an infectious joy and curiosity he weaves together principles of Tibetan Buddhism, neuroscience, and quantum physics in a way that will change forever the way we understand the human experience. Using the basic meditation practices he provides, we can discover paths through everyday problems to recognize the unlimited potential of our minds.
"A truly compelling and infinitely practical fusion of Tibetan Buddhism and scientific ideas. Mingyur Rinpoche is a teacher for our time, uniquely gifted to bridge these two worlds." Sogyal Rinpoche.
"An extraordinarily clear book on the whys and the hows of cultivating mindfulness effectively in our lives. It makes use of the idiom and exciting discoveries of modern science in ways that are easy to understand and entirely relevant to the meditation practices themselves." Jon Kabat-Zinn.
"A beautiful tapestry of Buddhist insight woven together with modern science, this book is a landmark in the development of a contemplative neuroscience." Richard J.Davidson.
"Mingyur Rinpoche is a charismatic teacher with a heart and smile of gold. The clarity, humour, and wisdom of his stories and teachings are collected in this book, and it will always be with me as a most valued companion. This is one of those rare books where you meet the author and learn from his radiance." Lou Reed. |
