    - Heart Advice from the Great Tibetan Masters
    by Matthieu Ricard
    £15.99

    Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche inspired Matthieu Ricard to create this anthology by telling him that "when we come to appreciate the depth of the view of the eight great traditions [of Tibetan Buddhism] and also see that they all lead to the same goal without contradicting each other, we think, 'Only ignorance can lead us to adopt a sectarian view.'" Ricard has selected and translated some of the most profound and inspiring teachings from across these traditions. The selected teachings are taken from the sources of the traditions, including the Buddha himself, Nagarjuna, Guru Rinpoche, Atisha, Shantideva, and Asanga; from great masters of the past, including Thogme Zangpo, the Fifth Dalai Lama, Milarepa, Longchenpa, and Sakya Pandita; and from contemporary masters, including the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and Mingyur Rinpoche. They address such topics as the nature of the mind; the foundations of taking refuge, generating altruistic compassion, acquiring merit, and following a teacher; view, meditation, and action; and how to remove obstacles and make progress on the path.

    Overalt, hvor han kommer, bliver den buddhistiske munk Matthieu Ricard bedt om at forklare, hvad meditation er, hvordan man gør det, og hvad det kan føre til. I denne elegante, guidende og let tilgængelige bog giver han svar på disse spørgsmål. Selv om meditation er en livslang proces, selv for den viseste, kan vi ved at meditere dagligt ændre vores forståelse af os selv og verden omkring os. I denne glimrende lille bog fører Ricard os gennem meditationens teori, spiritualitet og praktiske aspekter. Han illustrerer hvert trin i sin undervisning med eksempler, der fører læserne dybere ind i deres egen praksis. På grundlag af hans erfaringer som munk, hans nærlæsning af hellige tekster og hans dybe viden om de buddhistiske mestre viser Ricard, hvilke betydelige goder meditation baseret på uselvisk kærlighed og medfølelse kan medføre for os alle.Matthieu Ricard er en buddhistisk munk, som havde en lovende karriere som forsker i cellegenetik, før han for 40 år siden forlod Frankrig for at studere buddhisme i Himalaya-regionen. Han er bestseller-forfatter, oversætter og fotograf samt aktiv deltager i videnskabelige forskningsprogrammer om meditationens indvirkning på hjernen. Han bor i Nepal og vier meget af sin tid til humanitære projekter i Himalaya-regionen.
