“A masterpiece.”
—Jon Kabat-Zinn

influential — books in the field of mindfulness. It’s easy to see why.

benefits of meditation and the practice of mindfulness. The book showcases Bhante’s trademark clarity and wit, as he explores the tool of meditation, what it does, and how to make it work.

kindness, an especially important topic in today’s world. For anyone who is new to meditation, this is a great
resource for learning how to live a more productive and peaceful life.

Giving 2 stars for first two chapters which are available in sample copy. Remaining stars not given due to bad experience in payment options while buying the book. I think this app is testing my patience level by giving errors in all possible payment methods.
