Book Reviews of Mindfulness in Plain English, Updated and Expanded Edition
Book Review: Best How To Out There
Summary: 5 Stars
Confession first: I don't meditate, although I hope to start some day. When I do, this book will be the impetus for it - it is clear, straightforward and truly in plain English. It gives the novice meditator not only the how, but also the why, about meditation in language a layperson can undertsand and absorb. It is particularly strong in clearly delineating the many pitfalls that a meditator may encounter and the way to move beyond them. Very encouraging in its simplicity and straightforward language.
Summary of Mindfulness in Plain English, Updated and Expanded Edition
With his distinctive clarity and wit, "Bhante G" takes us step by step through the myths, realities, and benefits of meditation and the practice of mindfulness. We already have the foundation we need to live a more productive and peaceful life - Bhante simply points to each tool of meditation, tells us what it does, and how to make it work. This expanded edition includes the complete text of its bestselling predecessor, as well as a new chapter on the cultivation of loving kindness, an especially important subject in today's world.If you'd like to read about meditation and then go back to your regular life, don't get this book. Henepola Gunaratana, a monk from Sri Lanka and venerated teacher of Buddhism, warns us that vipassana meditation is "meant to revolutionize the whole of your life experience." In one of the best nuts-and-bolts meditation manuals, he lays out the fundamentals of basic Buddhist meditation, the how, what, where, when, and why, including common problems and how to deal with them. His 52 years as a Buddhist monk make Mindfulness in Plain English an authority on a living tradition, and his years of teaching in America and elsewhere give it the clarity and straightforwardness that has made it so popular. If you'd like to learn the practice of meditation, you can't do better. --Brian Bruya
