The Relaxed Mind

An esteemed modern Tibetan Buddhist teacher presents a system of meditation instructions designed for achieving relaxation in our stressful, fast-paced worldIn the late 1990s, shortly after arriving in the United States, it became clear to Dza Kilung Rinpoche that his Western students responded to traditional meditation instructions differently from his students back in Asia. The Westerners didn't know how to relaxand their pressured, fast-paced lifestyles carried over into meditation. With this in mind,Dza Kilung Rinpoche set out to create a meditation system that could break through the noise of Western life.The Relaxed Mindcontains instructions for the seven-phase practice that hedeveloped for students in the West. It is adapted from traditional instructions to counteract the overwhelming distraction that is becoming a global culture these days, not only in the West. Beginners will find a wealth of useful, easy-to-understand information whilemore experienced meditators may be surprised to find their practice deepening through letting go of tension.
