Publisher Description

For thirteen hundred years, Tibetans have been practicing shamtha/vipashyana (peaceful dwelling/insight): a profound form of meditation that illuminates and purifies the obstacles to spiritual realization. Tibetan Buddhists today regard shamatha/vipashyana as both the fundamental and the most advanced spiritual practice of all. On Pure Meditation, Pema Chödrön - the beloved American-born nun known for her bestselling book When Things Fall Apart - takes you step by step through this timeless and elegant meditative form. You will learn the posture that helps you relax your mind, how to use your own breath as a reminder to return to the present moment, and what to do with the many thoughts and emotions that arise during your meditation sessions. A straightforward, authoritative resource for students at all levels, Pure Meditation is a definitive guide to the authentic Tibetan Buddhist meditation that has brought its practitioners relaxation, peace of mind, and deeper awareness for hundreds of years.

"The title says it all: when our best laid plans go awry, when we've weaved too many tangled webs ... it's time to get back to basics. That's what this book does; it reminds me about what's REALLY important, what's truly essential, what we can't live without ..."

    " pema waits and is always ready and given that it's a recording always says exactly the same thing and of course each time it is different because i tend to listen again when i am most willing to change and what i hear is new and deeper every time. "

    " In brief: I found it hard to follow along. It's more a collection of Chodron's old talks and musings, not really a cohesive book. There are good points and interesting ideas in here, but it's just not as engaging as, say, a Kornfield's work. "

    " These books and philosophies are fabulous if you're ready for them. Very insightful and helpful. Can be redundant and philosophies seem a little unattainable in our western society, but take what you can from it. "
