Bodhipaksa: Sit, Gebunden

Klappentext

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 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.
