The Path Is the Goal


Book Description

Lessons on the true purpose and power of meditation, from one of the great masters According to the Buddha, no one can attain basic sanity or enlightenment without practicing meditation. It is the essential spiritual practice—and nothing else is more important. In The Path is the Goal, Chögyam Trungpa teaches us to let go of the urge to make meditation serve our ambition; thus we can relax into openness. We are shown how the deliberate practice of mindfulness develops into contrived awareness, and we discover the world of insight that awareness reveals. We learn of a subtle psychological stage set that we carry with us everywhere and unwittingly use to structure all our experience—and we find that meditation gradually carries us beyond this and beyond ego altogether to the experience of unconditioned freedom. The teachings presented here—all in Trungpa's concise, accessible style—provide the foundation that every practitioner needs to awaken as the Buddha did.

Meditations Made Simple


Book Description

To craft this book I used Long's translation of Marcus Aureliu's Journals called the Meditations. LongsIntroductiontranslation was made from the original Latin script in 1862. It is commonly referred to as the ?most accuratetranslation to date? So accurate that sometimes it doesn't flow because honestly, it's a journal, and it wasnever meant to be published.What I've done is replace the words Marcus used with words we now commonly use. And I've simplifiedcomplex sentences into proper edited portions. I DID NOT change the message whatsoever as I feel thatwould be an injustice to his work.I hope you enjoy.Sincerely,Shane Stott
