Open Awareness Open Mind: Finding Lasting Peace with the Practice of Meditation by Karma Yeshe Rabgye Pdf

What are you looking for in life? I don't mean on a superficial level but deep down. I expect most people would say happiness, but I believe this is not what we should be setting our sights on. Happiness is extremely short lived. One minute we are happy and the next we are wondering why the world is treating us so badly. So, what should we be looking for? I believe we should be aiming for peace of mind. A mind that is open, calm, focused and able to deal with whatever life throws at it. In OPEN AWARENESS OPEN MIND, Karma Yeshe Rabgye skilfully guides you through various meditation and mindfulness practices that help you to gradually take back control of your life, leaving you with a mind that is at peace. "This book offers a clear and practical path to lead us in more peaceful and meaningful directions in our lives.'" Stan B. Martin, Author of 'Illusions on the Path' "With his elegant writing, Yeshe Rabgye invites the reader to begin to understand their mind and themselves with down-to-earth guidance. The human experience is complicated, and Yeshe brings helpful ideas home by making them accessible with real-world examples, practices and reflections. Experienced meditators will find new ways to explore and question old ideas, refreshing their practice and opening new layers of understanding." Ted Meissner - Founder of Secular Buddhist Association "As he consistently does so well, Karma Yeshe Rabgye offers powerful ancient teachings in a way that is intensely pragmatic and insightful. Open Awareness Open Mind is full of stories, practices and explanations that will surely leave an impact on the reader." Matthew Sockolov - One Mind Dharma and Author of 'A Mindfulness for Beginners Journal'

Beyond Mindfulness by Stephan Bodian Pdf

This book takes you beyond familiar mindfulness practices by offering guided meditations and direct pointers that invite you to realize your natural state of inherent wakefulness and peace. No regular practice is required, just the willingness to open yourself to a transformative new way of experiencing life. Mindfulness has permeated our modern lives, and with good reason -- it's been proven to boost mood, reduce stress, improve health, and maximize performance. But in our achievement-oriented culture, the practice of mindfulness can feel laborious and mechanical, like one more task on your endless to-do list.

The Best Way to Catch a Snake by Karma Yeshe Rabgye Pdf

Buddhism, with its stress on non-violence, the 'middle path' and its promise of nirvana, finds many followers. But in today's world, it has become simply a fad for some, something to follow because their favourite celebrity propagates it. Simply wearing robes or carrying prayer beads does not make one a Buddhist; it has to be ingrained within, and should become a part of one's daily life.The Best Way to Catch a Snake, a three-part volume, is a guide to Buddhist teachings, for all those who want to start their journey towards a better life, but don't know where to begin. It goes beyond the exotic rituals and practices that Buddhism is today seen as. It elucidates the Four Seals, the Four Noble Truths and the Four Thoughts of Buddhism in simple, jargon-free language. The author, a Buddhist monk himself, combines examples from his own experience with simple exercises to skilfully guide us through Gautama Buddha's teachings. A valuable source of Buddhist knowledge, this book is a must for anyone drawn to the teachings of Gautama Buddha.
