International bestseller
Five Starred Review on Amazon
"Enlightening and impressively reasonable...A painless and jargon-free introduction to the psychology of Buddhism."
The Sunday Times
"A wonderful book – easy to read and full of anecdotal advice geared to the general reader rather than the philosopher or follower of any particular spiritual tradition."
Yoga and Health
From the bestselling author of Happiness.
Wherever he goes, Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard is asked to explain what meditation is, how it is done and what it can achieve. In this elegant, authoritative and entirely accessible book, he sets out to answer these questions.
Although meditation is a life-long process even for the wisest, The Art of Meditation demonstrates that by practising it on a daily basis we can change our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In this brilliantly inspiring book, Matthieu Ricard talks us through the theory, spirituality and practical aspects of meditation. He illustrates each stage of his teaching with examples, leading each reader deeper into their own practice.
Through his experience as a monk, his close reading of sacred texts and his deep knowledge of the Buddhist masters, Matthieu Ricard demonstrates the significant benefits that meditation, based on selfless love and compassion, can bring to each of us.
"An elegant and inspiring short guide to the art of meditation, from the bestselling author of "Happiness". Buddhist monk Ricard explains what meditation is, how it is done and what it can achieve, illustrating each stage of his teaching with examples."
The Guardian
"As a long time meditator I bough this book because I heard it reviewed on the radio and like Ricard's clear style of writing. I was not disappointed, in fact I bought two more copies to give away. It is one of the most useful books I have come across to give to non-Buddhist friends who are a bit interested but also a bit , or a lot, sceptical about meditation. "
Amazon
"Matthieu Ricard combines the talents of a philosopher and scientist...He reminds us that to change individuals is also, ultimately, to change the world."
