"BEAUTY ARISES FROM PRESENCE OF MIND AND SIMPLICITY.",
This review is from: The Path of Insight Meditation (Paperback)
"THOUGH OUR MINDS MAY BE COMPLICATED, BEAUTY IS NOT. WE DON'T HAVE TO STRIVE TO MAKE BEAUTY IN OUR LIVES, OR LOOK FAR TO FIND IT. WHEN THE MIND IS STILL, WE CAN SEE A MAGNIFICENCE IN EVEN THE MOST ORDINARY THINGS--THE VIVIDNESS OF A SUNSET, THE WARMTH OF A SMILE, THE SIMPLICITY OF SERVING A CUP OF TEA. WE CAN SEE NEW LIFE AND GROWTH. EACH THING IS DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHERS, EACH MOMENT IS UNIQUE." [from page 152.]Here are the chapters: 1) Discovering the Heart of Meditation 2) Meditation Instructions 3) Difficulties and Hindrances 4) Suffering: The Gateway to Compasion 5) Integrating Practice. (Each chapter is amazing but chapter five to me is the best. I have probably 85% of it highlighted!) This is a life-changing book. It's small enough to carry on your body and profound enough to envelop in your heart. I will cherish this always. My wish for all who read this is on page 170, paragraph one. Thank you Joseph and Jack!

One of the Most Influential Books in My Life,
By AE - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Path of Insight Meditation (Paperback)
In my opinion, this is the greatest book I have ever read on insight meditation. It can be a bit confusing and requires contextual interpretation (don't take things out of context of his discussions!). Great instructions and guides for how to deal with mental states as they arise.
