Description from Publishers Weekly |
Starred Review. This refreshing book is yet another sign that the
next generation of Buddhism is creative, cross-cultural and
cross-disciplinary. Born in 1975 in Nepal, the author is among the
generation of Tibetan lamas trained outside of Tibet, and he's also a
gifted meditator. His brain activity has been measured during
meditation, earning him the enviable sobriquet of "happiest man on
earth." He fuses scientific and spiritual considerations, explaining
meditation as a physical as well as a spiritual process. Mingyur
Rinpoche knows from experience that meditation can change the brain. He
experienced panic attacks as a child that he was able to overcome
through intensive meditation. If diligently practiced, meditation can
affect the "neuronal gossip"—his imaginative rendering of brain cell
communication—that keeps us stuck in unhappy behaviors. The meditation
master offers a wide variety of techniques, counseling ease in practice
to avoid boredom or aversion. Less is more; practice shorter periods
more often, he says. His approach will be especially welcome for anyone
frustrated by meditation or convinced they're "not doing it right." This
book is a fresh breath from the meditation room, written with kindness,
energy and wit. Three cheers for a cheerful contemplative. (Mar. 6)
