Though stress and anxiety abound, Buddhism offers a different way—a path right through our challenges and fears into connection with our innate awareness, compassion, and wisdom.Unlike most religions, Buddhism isn’t rooted in revealed truths or untestable beliefs—it is a human tradition with a rich array of practices for exploring the true nature of your mind, feelings, and relationships. In this experiential guide, author Cortland Dahl takes you on a journey through the three
yanas or traditional “vehicles” of Buddhism. First comes the foundational vehicle of early Buddhism, with landmark teachings, such as the Four Noble Truths, drawn directly from the Buddha’s life story and the sutras. Next is the great vehicle of Mahayana Buddhism, with its profound teachings on emptiness and compassion for all beings. Last is the diamond vehicle of the Vajrayana, featuring a unique array of practices to achieve awakening in this very life.
Filled with accessible teachings and relatable stories,
A Meditator's Guide to Buddhism guides you through nine practices including:
- Foundational meditations on awareness of breath and senses
- Reflections on the nature of mind and self
- Compassion practices such as Tonglen (“sending and receiving” meditation)
For those of us struggling with anxiety, fear, or other emotional challenges, Dahl shows that we don’t have to struggle on indefinitely—instead, we can begin discovering the spiritual treasure that is always with us.
