Meditation sets in motion a process beyond the rational mind, revealing our latent depths and strengths. Buddhism is essentially a collection of skilful methods of working with the mind. If we understand and apply these to our lives, we unfold our inherent ability to experience inner peace, compassion and wisdom. Rob has a unique ability to penetrate into the psychology of meditation and explain its capacity to transform the quality of human consciousness. .Tranquil Mind is therefore more than just another book on Buddhist meditation. It meets our needs to find calmness and clarity in an increasingly bewildering world. – Louis van Loon, founder The Buddhist Retreat, Centre, Ixopo., South Africa Here is Buddhism in a nutshell. – Shambhala Publications USA A wonderfully simple and clear introduction to Buddhist meditation – it touches all the bases. – Joseph Goldstein, founder IMS, Massachusetts. As a meditation instructor Rob is simply unsurpassed. Spiritual seekers from any faith tradition will find this book a valuable resource. – Sister Ellen Finlay, Anglican contemplative nun, Oklahoma, USA |
