Meditation in Action

MEDITATION IN ACTION is a classic guidebook of Tibetan meditation written by Chogyam Trungpa, founder of the esteemed Naropa Institute, the first Buddhist-inspired private college in the US. Compiled from a series of lectures in the 1960s, this short, concise handbook was an immediate success with students of eastern philosophies and it continues to be an inspiration to new generations of students today. The title refers to Trungpa`s belief that meditation is an active way of life and not a solitary, ego-centered act. MEDITATION IN ACTION presents six principles--generosity, discipline, patience, energy, clarity, and wisdom--which he expects his students to live by, not simply ponder during their daily meditation ritual. On this path, Trungpa believes his readers can find the ability to see into life`s conditions and respond to them intuitively and without the selfishness of the ego. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
