Wherever he goes, Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard is asked to explain what meditation is, how it is done, and what it can achieve. In this
elegant, authoritative, and entirely accessible book, he sets out to answer these questions.
Although meditation is a lifelong process even for the
wisest, Why Meditate? demonstrates that by practicing it on a daily
basis we can change our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In
this brilliant short book and the accompanying audio download, Ricard talks us
through the theory, spirituality, and practical aspects of meditation. He
illustrates each stage of his teaching with examples, leading readers deeper
into their own practice.
Through his experience as a monk, his close reading of
sacred texts, and his deep knowledge of the Buddhist masters, Ricard shows the
significant benefits that meditation, based on selfless love and compassion, can
bring to each of us.
