Beskrivning
From the author of What Makes You Not a Buddhist comes a fresh look at the foundations of Tibetan Buddhist practice, with practical advice and guidance for the modern practitioner
Do you practice meditation because you want to feel good? Or to help you relax and be “happy”? Then frankly, according to Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, you are far better off having a full-body massage than trying to practice the Dharma.
Genuine spiritual practice, not least the Ngöndro preliminaries, will not bring the kind of comfort and ease most worldly people crave. Quite the opposite, in fact. But if your ultimate goal is enlightenment, Ngöndro practice is a must, and Not for Happiness your perfect guide, as it contains everything an aspiring practitioner needs to get started, including advice about:
• Developing “renunciation mind”
• Discipline, meditation and wisdom
• Using your imagination in visualization practice
• Why you need a guru

Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche är en av dom bästa tibetanska buddhisterna att lära ut till oss i väst. Pedagogisk och humoristisk men ändå djupt. Rekommenderas för alla som vill börja praktisera vad dom lärt sig.

Very usable book. Deeply grounded in tradition and at the same time speaking to us from our own backyard. A good companion.
