Awakening The Mind: Explanations Of Basic Buddhist Meditation

Author: Wangchen, Namgyal

Book Description
Effective meditation techniques and explanations to help people transcend their deepest problems and achieve happiness.

From The Publisher
Awakening the Mind is an introduction to profound meditation methods that for millennia have helped people transcend their deepest problems. Based on the teachings of the great Tibetan saint Tsong Khapa, the techniques explained here by Geshe Wangchen counteract depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and all other forms of mental suffering. These methods for cultivating inner peace and wisdom show us how to awaken our mind to its fullest potential.

Reviews
From Library Journal 
One of the classic Buddhist methods of meditation involves the gradual path to enlightenment. Following this path, the student passes from an awareness of the impermanence of all things (the initial level) to the knowledge of the suffering of cyclic existence (medium level) to the development of the mind of enlightenment. When practiced properly, Tibetan Buddhist meditation can reproduce this journey to enlightenment in the soul of the practitioner. To that end, Wangchen, a noted Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher, offers this little handbook of meditation practices and principles. Most valuable to large libraries interested in building an exhaustive collection in Tibetan Buddhism.
