Mindfulness, Bliss, and Beyond

A Meditator's Handbook

De: Ajahn Brahm

Narrado por: Peter Wickham

Meditation: It's not just a way to relax, or to deal with life's problems. Done correctly, it can be a way to radically encounter bliss and to begin - and sustain - real transformation in ourselves.

In Mindfulness, Bliss, and Beyond, self-described meditation junkie Ajahn Brahm shares his knowledge and experience of the jhanas - a core part of the Buddha's original meditation teaching. Never before has this material been approached in such an empowering way, by a teacher of such authority and popularity.

Full of surprises, delightfully goofy humor, and entertaining stories that inspire, instruct, and illuminate, Mindfulness, Bliss, and Beyond will encourage those new to meditation, and give a shot in the arm to more experienced practitioners as well.

The highest goal is attainable

The author, Ajahn Brahm, presents every step in the staircase, each stumbling block, and pairs each with remedies for the practitioner to make progress toward the highest goal. He takes the mystery out and puts guidelines in for the attainment of enlightenment and every stage in between. The narration is clear, excellent. This book deserves re-listening sessions and a hard copy for reference.

Excellent

Ajahn Brahm is an amazing teacher and his explanation of personal experiences in meditation and stories about his years as a student under Ajahn Chah make this book SO worthwhile.

Best Book on Meditation, Hands Down

This is the best book you will find on meditation. It will change your life.

one in a thousand

I'm a serious beginner mediator, I've spent the last month or two blocked. This book has just been so very helpful with so much I need to work on. I have read literally about 100 dharma books, there are a huge amount of good and very good ones but this is among the very best. if you only listen to a few I strongly recommend this and a trilogy called "Abiding in Mindfulness" by Joseph Goldstein. Also Ajahn Chas "Food for the Heart". seriously, try listening to these, they likely will change your life. Metta!

what a wonderful perspective of mindfulness

very helpful for mediators, it explains all of the stages one will experience, beautifully written
