The Tibetan Book of Happiness

The Tibetan Book of Happiness shows how Tibetan Buddhism's teachings on mind and mental factors may be easily understood and practically applied in a present-day context for the happiness of all people, Buddhist or not. The first book from Rinpoche, it is also, in effect, an announcement of the Academy he will be founding and an invitation to deeper study and practice for hundreds of people worldwide who Rinpoche has reached through his teachings. Who does not want a resting place to fall back on after an exhausting exploration of life's Journey? A sanctuary of peace, healing, and dependability is the need of the hour. 'Such a sanctuary exists within all of us,' says The Tibetan Book of Happiness! It is our most precious treasure, hidden within, more valuable than a billion Kohinoor diamonds. Rest assured that it is not just wishful thinking or mere fantasy, but an empirical reality that can be proved, based on experience and wisdom. The time has come to unveil it for the benefit of all! In Author's up-beat, up-to-date manner he guides through major facets of the teachings on mind, mental factors and mind-training, and gives practical meditation instruction for reaching the fundamental nature of mind, expanding positivity, and eliminating all negativity. In a very down-to-earth manner, Rinpoche identifies our fundamental positivity and relates, with profound essential points, playful examples, and accounts from his personal experience, how the teachings of his training can lift from depression and lead to an experience of happiness that arises from within; that cannot be created by material things. The method for experiencing happiness revealed here touches our core as living beings; it unleashes our infinite potential. Yet it is simple, natural, and humble. Regardless of our faith or lack of faith, our race or gender, by exploring these methods we can become the best version of ourselves. The book could be categorized as Buddhism and Psychology. Happiness is subjective. It can't be expressed in words, it must be felt inside and enjoyed like nothing else. The science of mind of Buddhism is a unique platform from which to explore our inner world. In these pages, in plain English, mind-science is brought to life: Mind the Mastermind; Karma— Judicial System of the Inner World; Clarity— the Deepest Secret of Mind; Negative Potential and Fundamental Positivity. Putting that science to the test is the practice of meditation, the paths of the inner world of mind. What is meditation? How does it work? Is it really possible to experience happiness that is not materially creatable? In these pages are step by step instructions for meditations ranging from the foundations to the most vast and profound inner paths of inner development.
