Meditation has been around for centuries, especially for those in Eastern cultures. Over that last decade or so, meditation has found new popularity for people in Western cultures as a means to relax and de-stress. Even though meditation is not a new practice, it is still fairly new to those of us in the US. That’s why this book is here to teach those of us who weren’t raised in a culture that taught us about meditation and its benefits.

Many of you may be asking, "What the heck is mindfulness in the first place." I know that was my initial reaction when I first introduced to the concept a few years back. Well, this isn't some new idea. The concept of mindfulness has been around for over a thousand years. Being mindful means living in each moment and experiencing it fully. It teaches you how to become fully aware of yourself and your surroundings, while also improving focus and attentiveness.

It’s not easy to answer the question “What do Buddhists believe?” because Buddhism is actually a family of religions that have developed and evolved in different parts of the world, across different historical periods. Most of all, Buddhism is simply focused on living a meaningful life that is marked by kindness toward yourself and others. It’s about the process of figuring out what actually works in order to achieve these things.

This guide is divided into two parts. In the first part, we will talk about chakra healing and in the second part about the Buddhism for beginners. Many cultures believe that human beings exist in two parallel dimensions at once. The first dimension is the physical world, and we exist as a physical body made out of flesh and blood. The second dimension is a spiritual one, in which we exist as a form of energy, also known as the subtle body.

In Case You Ever Wondered . . .

Publisher's summary
What is the secret to happiness?
That’s a difficult question to answer.
But if you listen to mainstream or social media, you might think it’s money or fame. We idolize celebrities and believe they have a perfect life. But are they really happy?
We put so much hope into money and power. But once you have all these things this leaves you empty and thinking...why am I not happy even though I have everything I should want? So, what can we do?
Buddhism teaches us that the solutions to our problems are within ourselves, not outside. It helps us to let go of material things or social status and focus on what is really important in life.
Here’s just a tiny fraction of what you’ll discover:
- What is Buddhism and what do Buddhists believe?
- Manage anxiety, stress, depression, and sleep
- Why chasing success and happiness is making you miserable - and what to do instead
- Meditation, the number one habit proven by Neuroscientists to better control your thoughts
- Buddhism methods used by Hollywood Superstar Richard Gere to stay successful
- How Karma affects everyone and will catch up with you eventually
- Buddhism for kids - help your children learn from your mistakes and live happily
- And much, much more....
The teachings of Buddhism are straightforward and can be understood by anyone even if your not religious.
So if you have been drawn to Buddhism for many years but did not really understand it then now is your chance. Start now with this book.

In frightening times, we wish the world could be otherwise. With a touch of imagination, it can be. Imagination helps us see what’s hidden, and it shape-shifts reality’s roiling twisting waves. In this inspiring reframe of a classic Buddhist teaching, Zen teacher Norman Fischer writes that the paramitas, or “six perfections” - generosity, ethical conduct, patience, joyful effort, meditation, and understanding - can help us reconfigure the world we live in.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama provides intimate details on an advanced meditation practice called Dzogchen using a visionary poem by the 19th-century saint Patrul Rinpoche, author of the Buddhist classic Words of My Perfect Teacher. The Dalai Lama deftly connects how training the mind in compassion for other beings is directly related to - and in fact a prerequisite for - the very pinnacle of Buddhist meditation.

The modern lifestyle with its excesses and worldly desires, the constant need to be connected, and the rapid development in technology, has made stress and lifestyle-related diseases the norm. The need for meditation, thus, is more acute. Meditation calms the mind, brings focus and enhances the senses, resulting in a better quality of life and work. And with the right Mantras, meditation becomes a highly effective tool in unleashing the immense potential within oneself.

Tibetans call their cherished tradition of Buddhism a "wish-fulfilling jewel tree" for its power to generate bliss and enlightenment within all who absorb its teachings. This path to enlightenment, it is taught, requires more than a sitting meditation practice alone. With The Jewel Tree of Tibet, honored scholar and teacher Robert Thurman brings these insights to you as they were meant to be transmitted, through the spoken word.

The Eightfold Path is the most widely known formulation of the Buddha's teaching. It is ancient, reaching back to the Buddha's very first discourse, and it is highly venerated as a unique treasury of wisdom and practical guidance. The teaching of the Eightfold Path challenges us to grasp the implications of that vision, and asks us to transform ourselves in its light. Like the teaching itself, this work covers every aspect of life.

The secret to happiness is to acknowledge and transform suffering, not to run away from it. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh offers practices and inspiration transforming suffering and finding true joy. Thich Nhat Hanh acknowledges that because suffering can feel so bad, we try to run away from it or cover it up by consuming. We find something to eat or turn on the television. But unless we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us.

Mindfulness in action - mindfulness applied throughout life - can help us work more effectively with life's challenges, expanding our appreciation and potential for creative engagement.

Written in clear, accessible language, this book seeks to free listeners from their suffering by drawing attention to the direct experience of self as abiding, loving, boundless awareness. Using practical exercises and meditations, the author guides listeners through a process of spiritual awakening, deconstructing self-delusions and integrating a new concept of existence that is free from the suffering of individual selfhood, but which acknowledges the attachments, traumatic experiences, and emotional pain of being human.

Buddhism is a house full of treasures – practices for gaining the happiness of future lives, the bliss of liberation and the supreme happiness of enlightenment – but knowing the difference between Dharma and non-Dharma practices is the key that opens the door to all those treasures. No matter how much we know about emptiness, the chakras or controlling our vital energy through kundalini yoga, it's all pointless without this crucial understanding of how to practice Dharma, how to correct our actions.
