Why Meditate
Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard is asked to explain what meditation is, how to practise it, and what it may do everywhere he travels. He sets out to address these concerns in this beautiful, authoritative, and completely accessible book.
Although meditation is a lifetime process for even the brightest among us, Why Meditate? shows how everyday practice may alter our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. Ricard walks us through the philosophy, spirituality, and practical sides of meditation in this great short book and associated audio download. He uses examples to explain each step of his teaching, taking readers deeper into their own practice.
Ricard demonstrates the great benefits that meditation based on selfless love and compassion can offer to everyone of us via his experience as a monk, his attentive reading of sacred scriptures, and his extensive understanding of the Buddhist masters.
