This book will answer many questions and inspire

I was riveted by the well translated information and inspired to practice mindfulness and meditation from this book. I have explored many buddhist books, and I especially enjoyed how this one reiterated more clearly some things I have already learned- reinforcing the knowledge, and also gave some very practical advice on what to do not just in meditation, but in every waking moment- to support the path to full awareness.

Extremely profound

The narration was clear and well done, but above all, the content was impeccable. Simply amazing.
