Whether mere bumps in the road or genuine crises, we live in a
world of unwanted events that no willpower can prevent. In "The Art
of Disappearing," Ajahn Brahm helps us learn to abandon the
headwind of false expectations and follow instead the Buddha's path
of understanding. Releasing our attachment to past and future, to
self and other, we can directly experience the natural state of
serenity underlying all our thoughts and discover the bliss of the
present moment. In that space, we learn what it is to disappear.
Ajahn Brahm, an unparalleled guide to the bliss of meditation,
makes the journey as fun as it is rewarding.
"The Art of Disappearing," comprised of a series of teachings Ajahn
Brahm gave to the monks of Bodhinyana Monastery, where he serves as
abbot, offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of contemporary
Buddhism's most engaging figures.
"Better than sex!" That's how Ajahn Brahm describes meditation, and
his enthusiasm is contagious. A self-described meditation junkie,
Brahm, the author of the popular "Who Ordered This Truckload of
Dung?, " shares his recipe for bliss in this practical, energizing
new book. "The Meditator's Handbook" is a complete, stem-to-stern
guide to the subject, with precise step-by-step instructions for
traversing the stages of practice and overcoming obstacles. Drawing
on his working-class roots, Brahm explains difficult concepts
clearly and easily, so that beginners understand them, while those
who already meditate gain new insight. Full of surprises,
delightfully goofy humor, and entertaining stories that inspire,
instruct, and illuminate, "The Meditator's Handbook" encourages
novices and gives a shot in the arm to more experienced
practitioners.
The 108 pieces in the international bestseller "Who Ordered This
Truckload of Dung?" offer thoughtful commentary on everything from
love and commitment to fear and pain. Drawing from his own life
experience, as well as traditional Buddhist folk tales, author
Ajahn Brahm uses over thirty years of spiritual growth as a monk to
spin delightful tales that can be enjoyed in silence or read aloud
to friends and family.
Featuring titles such as "The Two-Finger Smile" and "The Worm and
His Lovely Pile of Dung," these wry and witty stories provide
playful, pithy takes on the basic building blocks of everyday life.
Suitable for children, adults, and anyone in between, this eloquent
volume wraps insight and inspiration inside of a good old yarn.
