The peaceful stillness of the silent mind : an Buddhism, mind and meditation

Lama Yeshe on "Buddhism is not just about one or two small things; it is not some tiny philosophy. Lord Buddha explained the nature of every single phenomenon in the universe."On "At certain times, a silent mind is very important, but 'silent' does not mean closed. The silent mind is an alert, awakened mind; a mind seeking the nature of reality."On "Meditation is the right medicine for the uncontrolled, undisciplined mind. Meditation is the way to perfect satisfaction. The uncontrolled mind is by nature sick; dissatisfaction is a form of mental illness. What's the right antidote to that? It's knowledge-wisdom; understanding the nature of psychological phenomena; knowing how the internal world functions."This book is made possible by kind supporters of the Archive who, like you, appreciate how we make these teachings available in so many ways, including in our website for instant reading, listening or downloading, and as multimedia, printed and ebooks.

"During his 1975 world tour, Lama Yeshe gave many public lectures, especially in Australia, to people who knew very little about Tibetan Buddhism and had never seen a lama before. This volume contains six such talks, which deal with Buddhist conceptions of mind and meditation to a general public and are therefore an excellent introduction to these topics"--Provided by publisher
