Overview
A popular Buddhist teacher guides you through strategies to build and maintain a rock-solid daily meditation practice—from setting reminders to dealing with setbacks to introducing the philosophical concepts underpinning Buddhist meditation—and everything in between.
It’s widely known that there are many benefits to meditation, particularly if undertaken regularly, but making it a daily habit can be a challenge for many people. Why? Because it takes more than willpower.
Here, longtime meditation teacher and Buddhist blogger Bodhipaksa presents a collection of strategies and tools to help build a rock-solid daily meditation practice into your life. The book is divided into 28 chapters, one for each day.
Each chapter starts with a Practice Reminder, just a few words reminding readers of the importance of practicing meditation rather than merely reading about it. There’s also a link to a web page of guided meditations.
Following that is a Today section, a brief summary of what the day’s reading.
Then there’s a Strategies section, which offers suggestions to help readers build the habit of meditating daily. Strategies can be as simple as setting reminders or using a meditation timer, or more involved tools such as changing any belief that you lack what it takes to meditate daily.
That’s followed by a Going Deeper section, with a deeper exploration of some of the Buddhist teachings underpinning our practice, often referring to the suttas, or scriptures, of early Buddhism.
Next is a Journal/Reflection section, which encourages readers to make the content of the Going Deeper section more experiential.
Each chapter ends with a Last Words section, quickly summarizing the Going Deeper section.
