The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness
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.

Thank you very much for this gem and I would also like to ask you, if you would mind if I borrow your idea and set a similar (not a copy!) blog in Slovene language.
ReplyDeleteOf course I vould name you as a source or author of the concept.
Thnak you for your time,

Sounds like a great idea! Most of my traffic seems to come from Slovenia so It would be great to see a collection of Buddhist links in Slovak as well as many other languages. I had thought of including other languages in the blog but for simplicity I kept it English only.
