A Monk's Guide to Happiness: Meditation in the 21st century

Product Information

This book will help you to understand the power of meditation, living in the present, and how this can transform your life. But as we evolve we give ourselves more opportunity and excuses to be distracted, anxious, threatened and angry with the various thoughts and actions that accompany such feelings.

He works with major global companies such as Google, Accenture and LinkedIn, and has lectured at Oxford University and for the United Nations. The book is filled with short guided meditation practices to ease a learner into becoming a daily meditator. Ba dokonca nemusí byť ani tichý, niektoré cvičenia sú totiž zamerané na sústredné počúvanie a rozlišovanie zvukov okolia. Thubten does that very well, offering simple exercises not just for the beginner, but also for anyone who has been practising meditation for a while and wants to add something new. At no point does Thubten compare meditation directly with other activities or denigrate them, but the way he presents the place, benefit and effects of a daily meditation routine makes it clear that this is the only "Master Key" to happiness and lasting change.

Gelong Thubten je mních, ktorého priviedla na novú životnú cestu vlastná vyčerpanosť a mladícka honba za dočasnými, predovšetkým materiálnymi radosťami. This book really does help you to change your life for the better, in the simplest possible yet most profound way. Meditation exercises can help us develop this skill, but to fully tap into its power, we need to integrate it into our everyday lives. Výsledok potom nie je bohvieaký, keďže desať až pätnásť minút meditácie oproti mnohým hodinám rozptýlenej pozornosti nemá veľkú šancu navodiť zmenu. Meditation gives us a choice to stop these these reactions and behaviours in their tracks and instead see each situation from new perspectives, interrupting learned responses.

The objective here is to be fully and non-judgmentally focused on whatever we’re experiencing in the present moment. A Monk’s Guide to Happiness explores the nature of happiness and helps bust the myth that our lives and minds are too busy for meditation. Thubten talks about the absolute importance of Interdependence (depending on each instead of ourselves). Gelong pracuje aj s dobre známou teóriou, že najlepšie budú jeho rady fungovať, ak si človek vytvorí návyk a bude sa usilovať využiť dobrý pocit z meditácie aj v priebehu dňa.We all have our own personal battles and our own family traumas, but if we can reach for the light within ✨️ happiness, it can always be found. Warning readers to tread with caution and take steps to engineer the right timing environment for meditation. Overall a great book for beginners although there's valuable information here and if you read the whole thing I would think almost anyone could benefit from the information.

Thubten has 25 years experience with meditation, using it as an advantage to see the world and its many interactions in new and interesting ways. Výsledkom jeho dlhoročnej meditačnej praxe, kurzov a seminárov je kniha Škola šťastného života, ktorá vás prevedie teóriou aj praktickými cvičeniami s cieľom vniesť do bežnej každodennosti pokoj a rozvahu. Second part of book is a series of meditation exercises that you can listen to during your practice. A Monk's Guide to Happiness breaks down meditation and helped me to realise that I had been grasping and attempting to get something back from meditation.
