Encapsulating the most promising principles of Buddhist teachings, Genuine Happiness outlines the five essential Tibetan meditations that will help you achieve greater happiness: Meditative quiescence: mindfulness of breathing, settling the mind in its natural state, and cultivating awareness of simply being awareThe Four Applications of Mindfulness (of the body, feelings, mind, and phenomena): the fundamental teachings on the cultivation of contemplative insightThe Four Immeasurables (compassion, loving-kindness, empathic joy, and equanimity): the heart's path to genuine happinessDream yoga: both daytime and nighttime practicesDzogchen: the Great Perfection
Featuring a foreword from the Dalai Lama, Genuine Happiness will help you collect and focus your mind away from the dullness and compulsive agitation of daily life. Through these Buddhist techniques and meditations, you will discover how to train your mind to delve into deeper and deeper states of awareness. Each chapter begins with a guided meditation, introductory material, and thoughts for further contemplation.
Through practice, understanding, and Alan Wallace's guidance, you will learn to follow the path of genuine happiness to its source--by tapping your inner natural resources to the fullest.
