Book Description
A lucid and complete introduction to the practice of meditation, the art of bringing the mind home to its true nature.
About the Author
Sogyal Rinpoche was born in Tibet and raised by one of the most revered spiritual masters of this century, Jamyang Khyentse ChÖkyi LodrÖ. With the Chinese occupation of Tibet, he went into exile with his master, who died in 1959 in Sikkim in the Himalayas. After university studies in Delhi and Cambridge, England, he acted as translator and aide to several leading Tibetan masters, and began teaching in the West in 1974. Rinpoche sees his life's task in transplanting the wisdom of Buddha to the West by offering training in the vision set out in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. This training can enable those who follow it to understand, embody, and integrate Buddhist teachings into their everyday lives.Rinpoche's reputation as an authority on the teachings associated with The Tibetan Book of the Dead and his dialogue with leading figures in the fields of psychology, science, and healing make him a sought-after speaker at international conferences and lectures. He travels extensively, teaching in Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia, and is the founder and spiritual director of Rigpa, a network of Buddhist centers and groups around the world.

Fantastic source, but buyer beware...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Meditation (Paperback)
As a great admirer of Sogyal Rinpoche, I purchased this little book sight-unseen, hoping that it might expand upon the thoughts he introduces in "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" (a masterpiece). Turns out this is nothing more than a verbatim transcription of Chapter 5, published in a cute little format. I don't doubt that this is a great way to give newcomers a peek under the tent of the author's masterwork, but the buyer should nonetheless beware...

I bought this book while trekking in Nepal, and I have always wanted to begin mediation but I have a hard time keeping still. This book offers different techniques to help you focus and clear you mind through meditation. The book is only 90 pages thus making it an easy read!

Was not informed this book is a miniature book (4 inches). Would not have paid over $11 for this book had I known. Otherwise good content.
