Discover a simple and deeply thoughtful approach to cultivating greater peace, awareness and compassion with The Art of Meditation by Buddhist monk and bestselling author Matthieu Ricard.
Originally published in France in 2008, with the English-language edition first published by Atlantic Books in 2010, this accessible guide explores what meditation is, why we practise it and how it can gradually transform the way we relate to ourselves and the world around us.
Drawing upon his experience as a Buddhist monk and his knowledge of Buddhist teachings, Ricard introduces both the spiritual and practical aspects of meditation, guiding readers through practices centred around awareness, compassion, selfless love and contemplation.
Rather than presenting meditation as something complicated or reserved for experienced practitioners, The Art of Meditation offers an approachable introduction for anyone wishing to develop a more consistent and meaningful meditation practice.
