Book excerpt: Lama Zopa Rinpoche specifically compiled A Daily Meditation on Shakyamuni Buddha for beginner Buddhist practitioners to use as the basis of a formal meditation practice. In this revised version, Rinpoche has reorganized some of the prayers and, in particular, has added an extensive explanation of the visualizations to be done while taking refuge. Drawn from Phabongkha Rinpoche's Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand, for each of the objects of refuge-Guru, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha-there are visualizations for purifying negative karma, increasing qualities, and coming under the guidance of that object of refuge. Subtitled "How to Meditate on the Graduated Path to Enlightenment," the practices contained in this booklet prepare the mind for lamrim meditation by purifying negative karma and collecting extensive merits-the two main causes for attaining the realizations of the path to enlightenment (renunciation, bodhichitta, and the right view of emptiness). This booklet contains: - A motivation for doing the practice - Commonly recited verses for taking refuge and generating bodhichitta, for purifying the place, for invoking Guru Shakyamuni Buddha, and for blessing, multiplying, and presenting offerings - Prostrations with mantras - A visualization for taking refuge - A motivation for taking refuge - The extensive practice for taking refuge mentioned above - The four immeasurables - A bodhichitta motivation - Seven-limb prayer - A short mandala offering - Several requesting verses - A short lamrim prayer, The Foundation of All Good Qualities, by Lama Tsongkhapa - Recitation of Guru Shakyamuni Buddha's mantra - Absorption of Guru Shakyamuni Buddha - Dedications This practice can also be used as a basis for engaging in the preliminary practices of accumulating 100,000 prostrations, mandala offerings, and so forth. Staple binding, 36 pages, 2018 edition.

These practices prepare the mind for lamrim meditation by purifying negative karma and collecting extensive merits, and making requests to the guru. This practice can also be used as a basis for engaging in the preliminary practices, such as accumulating 100,000 prostrations, mandala offerings, and water bowl offerings. 2022 edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated introduction to the history of Buddhism through teachings on its relevance today and simple meditation practices. There is only one moment in time when it is essential to awaken. That moment is now. —Buddha The art of Buddhism beautifully depicts enlightened beings who demonstrate the practice of meditation yet, while deeply inspiring, art alone cannot teach one to meditate. In The Pure Joy of Being Fabrice Midal brings together traditional Buddhist art with enlightening text as a way to teach the tradition and practice of meditation. Filled with images of bodhisattvas and awakened beings who illustrate the possibility of freedom, alongside practical instruction, advice, and meditations for the everyday situations we face on a daily basis, this book is an accessible introduction to meditation and the wisdom of the Buddha’s teachings. To meditate is to remain in the present moment with attention and benevolence, to remove the desire to manage everything, and to open yourself up to life and all that is possible. It’s as simple as that. And yet, meditating is not easy. What is true happiness? How can we overcome difficulties in life with courage? Can meditation help in today’s world? The Pure Joy of Being teaches that the goal of meditation is to turn us into beings that are more human, and capable of thinking, feeling, and loving better. It offers contemporary practices to set us on this path.
