The Myth of Meditation: Restoring Imaginal Ground Through Embodied Buddhist Practice - Paramananda

Descriere The Myth of Meditation: Restoring Imaginal Ground Through Embodied Buddhist Practice - Paramananda

Enlivened by his love of both the natural world and poetry, Buddhist meditation teacher Paramananda guides readers in a threefold process: grounding meditative experience in the body, turning towards experience in a kindly and intelligent way, and seeing through to another way of understanding and being in the world. \nFrom his three decades of teaching Buddhist meditation, Paramananda, offers an approach that is a challenge both to the way we experience ourselves, and the way in which we see and 'be' in the world. He contends that the historical Buddha offered not a panacea for the ills of his time but rather a radical alternative way of living in the world, still as valid today as it was 2500 years ago. At the very heart of this radical vision is the art of meditation. Engaging in this art is what Paramananda outlines in The Myth of Meditation. Enlivened by his love of both the natural world and poetry, he guides us in a threefold process: grounding meditative experience in the body, turning towards experience in a kindly and intelligent way, and seeing through to another way of understanding and being in the world.
