Product Description

Synopsis

"Better than sex!" That's how Ajahn Brahm describes meditation, and his enthusiasm is contagious. A self-described meditation junkie, Brahm shares his recipe for bliss in this practical, energising new book. "Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond" is a complete, stem-to-stern guide to the subject, with precise step-by-step instructions for traversing the stages of practice and overcoming obstacles. Drawing on his working-class roots, Brahm explains difficult concepts clearly and easily, so that beginners understand them, while those who already meditate gain new insight. Full of surprises, delightfully goofy humour and entertaining stories that inspire, instruct and illuminate, this meditator's handbook encourages novices and gives a shot in the arm to more experienced practitioners.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Handbook you have been waiting for. 31 Dec 2006
By E. Husk
Format:Paperback
The delight of this book comes from the freshness, humour and obvious experience of the author. He inspires us to meditate and have confidence in a process that he describes with wonderful clarity.

You often read reviews which begin 'If you buy only one book this year...'

Well, this is the one! And expect to be referring to it all year and the next year. It is meant to be used as a guide - and it works. I cannot adequately express my gratitude to Ajahn Brahm. This really is the 'Handbook' I've been waiting for.

Still reading the first half of this book, but so far - it has certainly been a very useful book written in a clear simple style. Especially suited to those with some basic meditation experience, but this is the most lucid modern-english text i have seen on the subject of meditation so far!

I don't full consider myself a 'buddhist', however I still highly recommend this book for all those intersted in what meditation actually is & how to do it. Happy meditiating! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book. 7 Mar 2014
By Pete
Format:Paperback|Verified Purchase
For those wishing to further their meditation practice. It does back track, to remind you of a few basic principals. It has a real charm that shines from the author, Ajahn Brahm who really knows what he is doing from so many years of experience. He relates well to the none Buddhist reader in a way that helps you progress with ease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for learning to meditate 7 May 2013
Format:Paperback|Verified Purchase
Having heard Ajahn Brahm talk on YouTube and dhammaloka.org.au, I ordered this book to help me develop my meditation techniques. It does a good job of explaining how to meditate, using seven steps that naturally flow into each other. Much recommended for the meditation beginner or for adding to your repetoir of meditation techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Spritual Millionaire 4 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
Ajahn Brahm relates how inordinately difficult it is to become enlightened. It can only be done in a monastery which follows all eight steps of the Buddhist path. The carrot for this nigh impossible task is the ecstatic pleasure to be found in meditation, particularly the advanced meditation called the jhanas. Its rather like a millionaire telling the poor how to become rich - luck and many years hard work - but does the enormity of the task make us give up ? Yes jhanas are better than sex, but we can have sex today. For all that he is surely telling it how it is and not sugaring the pill, and for that he gets five stars. And when we reach the jhanas and dwell in ecstacy, what then ? We must give them up for Nibbana, nothingness. Funny old religion, this Buddhism.
