The Buddha taught dozens of techniques for perfecting, stabilizing, and clarifying care. One in particular is especially appropriate for highly discursive, conceptual, imaginative and mentally speaking people: the collection, translated from Sanskrit into English as mindfulness. Dr. Wallace, after forty years studying and practicing Buddhism, trained under the guidance of sixty teachers from East and West, shares in this valuable book, in addition to collecting, the basic meditations for a path to inner realization and human flourishing. The udemony proposed by the author is a happiness that is not acquired through the external conquest of nature or the acquisition of wealth and fame, but through conquest and our inner obscurations and the realization of the natural resources inherent in our hearts and minds.
