The Practice of Tibetan Meditation: Exercises, Visualizations, and Mantras for Health and Well-being

Meditation can be put to a variety of uses, and in The Practice of Tibetan Meditation Dagsay Tulku Rinpoche provides a complete tool kit for tuning up your life. Identified at a young age as the reincarnation of a famous lama, Dagsay went on to graduate first in his class from an Indian university and then to head a Tibetan refugee community in Switzerland, where he has been teaching these meditations to Westerners for nearly four decades. A firm believer in mind/body interaction and the power of suggestion, Dagsay offers meditations on purifying nectar, on inner fire, and on personal relationships, among others, that can relieve physical ailments, calm emotions, and lead to overall well-being. A unique aspect of Dagsay's teachings is that many of his meditations incorporate physical exercises, such as simple bends, arm gestures, and mudras. Including a CD of mantras for further inspiration, The Practice of Tibetan Meditation is just the thing to get you on the path to well-being of both mind and body. --Brian Bruya
