Book description
In Stages of Meditation, His Holiness offers his highly
practical views on the subject of meditation: how to meditate, the
various different procedures and approaches we can take, what we and
others may gain from it. He explains how we can develop a spiritual
path in a proper sequence rather than in a scattered, piecemeal
fashion. He also shows the importance of building up both method and
wisdom, as well as cultivating compassion and 'special insight' as we
train our minds.
This impressive and stimulating book will not only bring the Dalai
Lama - one of the world's most popular and pragmatic spiritual leaders
- to a huge new audience but, because so many people round the globe
are now practising meditation, from a basis of religious faith or
none, this is a work which will doubtless be in print for many years
to come.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibet. Today,
he lives in exile in Northern India and works tirelessly on behalf of
the Tibetan people, as well as travelling the world to give spiritual
teachings to sell-out audiences. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in
1989.
