Book Review: A PRECIOUS BOOK THAT INSPIRES AND AIDS PROGRESS ALONG THE SPIRITUAL PATH
Summary: 5 Stars
The New Meditation Handbook by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is an invaluable practical guide to meditation. In Geshe Kelsang's introduction he clearly and concisely describes the importance of meditation and how it can help us in our daily lives. Geshe Kelsang stresses the importance of looking for the source of happiness internally rather than constantly trying to manipulate external situations and or objects. Without inner peace no matter how great our external circumcustances, we will not be able to experience true, long-lasting happiness.
Geshe Kelsang describes twenty-one powerful meditations that cultivate inner peace within the mind. He also includes a special breathing meditation which focuses on a mantra, in the back of the book that is the most powerful breathing meditation I have ever done.
This book is a great introduction to beginners as well as deepens the practice of seasoned meditators. The twenty-one meditations themselves are based upon specific tenents of Buddhist thought and philosophy. Those who are unfamiliar with these basic concepts of Buddhism will find the meditations a great way to learn more about Buddhism.
I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who is interested in engaging in and/or deepening their meditation practice and learning more about Buddhist thought and philosophy
