Buddhism is based on the truth that, with effort, we can change the way we are, and among the many methods Buddhism has to offer, meditation is the most direct. It is the art of getting to know one's own mind and learning to encourage what is best in us. This book focuses on two Buddhist meditation practices - mindfulness of breathing (the bedrock of all meditation practice) and Metta Bhavana, which aims gradually to nurture an unshakeable confidence and a concern for the welfare of others. The practical aspects of meditation are addressed, including the maintenance of a regular meditation practice and dealing with any difficulties that arise. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

About the Author

Born John Wilson in London, Paramananda was curious about Asian ideas but it was not until the death of his father that his interest in Buddhism was aroused. Ordained in the Western Buddhist Order in 1985, he has been teaching meditation, Buddhism and body awareness full-time in San Francisco and London since then.
