Summary
Sylvia Boorstein suggests taking three days off to create a mindfulness meditation retreat, and this book provides the official textbook for doing so. Preferring a simple approach, Boorstein notes that an overabundance of rules and instructions can actually encourage seekers to overthink their meditation, adding to mental chaos and defeating the purpose. Her book acts as a spiritual guide, suggesting a schedule and offering tips for clearing the mental clutter. Boorstein's conversational narrative makes this a highly accessible option for meditation study, particularly for the beginning student.

Cultivating Compassion
by Jeffrey Hopkins
According to Buddhist thought, compassion is society, and esteemed Buddhist scholar Jeffrey Hopkins knows that by learning to live from a more compassionate viewpoint, we can create a better life not only for overselves but for others. CULTIVATING COMPASSION is his eloquent, practical guide to tapping our own potential for caring and processing the thoughts and beliefs that interfere with our ability to interact with others in a meaningful, positive way. Through Buddhist meditations (including the Dalia Lama's favorite), visualizations, and entertaining recollections from his personal journey to more compassionate living, Hopkins guides us in developing an awareness of our capacity for love, and in learning to project that love into the world.
