Book reviews:
 HURRY UP AND MEDITATE By David Michie
Our catalogue number: 1218
If meditation was available in capsule form, it would be the biggest selling drug of all time. It has been scientifically proven to deliver highly effective stress relief, boost our immune systems and dramatically slow the ageing process. It has also been shown to make us much happier and more effective thinkers. Given all the physical and psychological benefits, why aren’t more of us doing it? In his thought-provoking and entertaining book, David Michie explains the nuts and bolts of meditation. As a busy professional, as well as long-term meditator, he also gives a first-hand account of how to integrate this transformational practice into everyday life. Combining leading edge science with timeless wisdom, Hurry Up and Meditate provides all the motivation and tools you need to achieve greater balance, better health and a more panoramic perspective of life.
AS IT IS by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
Our catalogue numbers: 1429 and 1430
This ultimate object of realisation, the natural state of mind, unmistakenly and exactly as it is, need not be sought for elsewhere but is present within ourselves. We become enlightened through experienceing what was always persent within us. However, stability in this unexcelled state of unity is not attained independently of means and knowledge. The means is proper conduct: knowledge is the view. Since the real purpose of spiritual endeavour is to soften our rigid character, we should unite view and conduct. The practices of accumulating and purifying are meant to facilitate this. And these are the very topics that Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche addresses in Rainbow Painting.
Tulku Rugyen Rinpoche was an incredible master, one who was both learned and accomplished. The great masters of this time—the 16th Karmapa, Dudjom Rinpoche and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche—all venerated him as one of their root gurus and a jewel in their crown ornament. He was someone who achieved the final realization of the Great Perfection.
