Resumen del Editor

The term meditation is often spoken of as a single, uniform practice, but in fact there are innumerable techniques that can be employed to achieve different ends. However, to make real progress in any practice, the methods need to be paired with a view of how our minds and our experience of the world around us really work.

In this uncommonly practical and experiential guide, Phakchok Rinpoche teaches us how to achieve this correct view so we can genuinely practice a meditation that will transform our lives by helping us abandon our own bad habits and hypocrisy. In this way, we will make real progress on the path to true freedom from the cyclic patterns we follow that only lead to unhappiness. Grounding this presentation is The King of Samadhi Sutra - one of the most important teachings in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition - which the author uses as a touchstone throughout. The simplicity will appeal to new and aspiring meditators, while the insightful approach based on living these practices will help seasoned practitioners get unstuck and make swift progress.

Essential Buddhist teachings by master Rinpoche

This is a really detailed and exemplary collection of both the fundamental and more complex teachings of Master Phakchock Rinpoche, it's a wonderful rendering of many rich teachings of the true Dharma. It's particularly well rounded in explaining many different teachings from many different schools of Buddhism. As well as the teachings and stories from different meditation master's that greatly influenced Master Rinpoche and his unique insight into multiple meditation practices and disciplines for the benefit of all sentient beings. This book also focuses heavily on the 'King of Meditation Sutra' which is one of the Buddha's greatest sutras for liberating all life from the endless suffering of rebirth and attachment.

Hit so many chords just right!!!

Beneficial for any level. I have been practicing for many years and feel this will be amazing for anyone looking for guidance and wisdom. I feel as though I will rinse and repeat this book frequently. Must read for those on the path.
