Synopsis:
The sequel to the best-selling Joy of Living. Mingyur Rinpoche is the most celebrated among the new generation of Tibetan meditation masters, whose teachings have touched people of all faiths around the world. This new book addresses the timely and timeless problem of anxiety in our everyday lives.
"From the 2,500 year-old perspective of Buddhism, every chapter in human history could be described as an age of anxiety. The anxiety we feel now has been part of the human condition for centuries. So what do we do? Escape or succumb? Both routes inevitably lead to more complications and problems in our lives. Buddhism offers a third option. We can look directly at the disturbing emotions and other problems we experience in our lives as stepping-stones to freedom. Instead of rejecting them or surrendering to them, we can befriend them, working through them to reach an enduring authentic experience of our inherent wisdom, confidence, clarity, and joy." Mingyur Rinpoche.
Divided into three parts like a traditional Buddhist text, Joyful Wisdom identifies the sources of our unease, describes methods of meditation that enable us to transform our experience into deeper insight, and applies these methods to common emotional, physical, and personal problems. The result is a work at once wise, anecdotal, funny, informed, and graced with the author's irresistable charm.
"There is no greater inspiration and no greater courage than the intention to lead all beings to the perfect freedom and complete well-being of recognizing their true nature. Whether you accomplish the goal isn't important. The intention alone has such power that as you work with it, your mind will become stronger, your mental and emotional habits will diminish, and you'll become more skillful in helping other beings. In so doing, you'll create the causes and conditions for your well-being." Mingyur Rinpoche. |
