Guided Meditations on the Lamrim:
The Gradual Path to Enlightenment
is an indispensible aid for anyone wanting to deepen their
own experience of the Buddhist outlook on life.
Venerable Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron
provides a simple, directed way to bring into one's daily
meditation practice all the points of the Buddhist Gradual
Path to Enlightenment.
In her own clear, personal, practical
style, Venerable Chodron leads you through analytical
meditations on every key Buddhist topic, from compassion
and attachment to such topics as joyous effort, karma,
rebirth, the Four Noble Truths and much more. In these
meditations, Venerable Chodron helps you logically examine
the topics taught by the Buddha and then relate them to
your personal experiences so that the teachings become
part of you. It's a method that is simultaneously easy
to understand and incredibly profound.
Venerable Chodron will also guide
you through meditation on the breath, a simple but powerful
method for calming and concentrating the mind.
The meditations on these CDs are suitable
for beginners, as well as for more advanced practitioners.
If you live far from a Dharma center or teachers, or if
you want to cultivate a daily meditation practice at home,
these CDs will give you what you need to begin and develop
that practice.
This series is accompanied by a meditation
outline (included as a computer file on the last CD)
that will help guide you through the topics. Also, the
CDs come neatly packaged in a small case roughly the size
of a paperback book — so you can easily take it with
you when you travel!
