About book Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change And Finding Freedom (2009)
I think only one time in the book reincarnation has been mentioned. I liked this. The book describes how to deal with personal problems without asking for a leap of faith. Well... Each exercise is a leap of faith, sometimes i feel like the "private lessons" often mentioned would be a better way to understand what numerous readings and meditation attempts will require to get on your own.Compared with The Joy of Living, the science descriptions in this book seem more proper, even the references to daily technology gadgets, i wonder if Mingyur lost his easterner innocence or it's Swanson.I've never grasped completely the concept of dealing with thoughts in meditation, so i found very helpful the distinction between object-less attention and thoughts attention. It's a bit hard to put down a plan to work with all these different practices (attention, insight, empathy). I find this book a testament of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche's personel practices and insights into meditation and Buddhist science. I am sure he has done really amazing job by writing this book for thousands of readers knowingly or unknowingly hunting for such book long times back. Infact, it took me for awhile to read this book easily because I can not turn to next page to next without giving a thoughts to a particular page that I had read, as almost every single pages in the book demanding your not only concentration to read but your deeper sense and practical into it.This is thought-provoking book!!!
