Book description
TAMING THE TIGER is based on twenty years Buddhist teaching in the
West and aims to help anyone seeking the truth about suffering and
happiness. The first part of the book deals with topics such as
Impermanence, The Right Motivation, Facing the Situation, Body, Speech
and Mind, Compassion, and Mindfulness. The second part is devoted to
exercises, meditations and relaxation techniques for body and mind,
including Feeling, Openness, Taking Suffering, Bringing the Buddha to
Life and Universal Compassion. The exercises, designed to provide a
base of self-knowledge, mind-therapy and self-healing have also been
found beneficial in therapy workshops and in the treatment of
psychological problems.
TAMING THE TIGER comes from the Samye-Ling Tibetan Centre in
Eskdalemuir, Scotland. This long-established community is well-known
for its Buddhist teachings and for helping to preserve Tibetan
culture. It is also increasingly renowned for its therapy courses and
humanitarian activities. In 1992, Samye-Ling bought Holy Island as a
retreat centre.
