Open Awareness Open Mind: Finding lasting peace with the practice of meditation

by Karma Yeshe Rabgye

What are you looking for in life?

I don't mean on a superficial level but deep down. I expect most people would say happiness, but I believe this is not what we should be setting our sights on. Happiness is extremely short lived. One minute we are happy and the next we are wondering why the world is treating us so badly.

So, what should we be looking for?

I believe we should be aiming for peace of mind. A mind that is open, calm, focused and able to deal with whatever life throws at it.

In OPEN AWARENESS OPEN MIND, Karma Yeshe Rabgye skilfully guides you through various meditation and mindfulness practices that help you to gradually take back control of your life, leaving you with a mind that is at peace.

"This book offers a clear and practical path to lead us in more peaceful and meaningful directions in our lives.'"

Stan B. Martin, Author of 'Illusions on the Path'

"With his elegant writing, Yeshe Rabgye invites the reader to begin to understand their mind and themselves with down-to-earth guidance. The human experience is complicated, and Yeshe brings helpful ideas home by making them accessible with real-world examples, practices and reflections. Experienced meditators will find new ways to explore and question old ideas, refreshing their practice and opening new layers of understanding."

Ted Meissner - Founder of Secular Buddhist Association

"As he consistently does so well, Karma Yeshe Rabgye offers powerful ancient teachings in a way that is intensely pragmatic and insightful. Open Awareness Open Mind is full of stories, practices and explanations that will surely leave an impact on the reader."

Matthew Sockolov - One Mind Dharma and Author of 'A Mindfulness for Beginners Journal'

This is an excellent read! I love this book. It is great for the beginner and the experienced person. Meditation is so awesome! I wish I had found it long before I have. The benefits of meditation are shared in this book and practical exercises for guided meditation is throughout the pages. The information is out there, we just have to let it in.

If you enjoy peace then I believe you will enjoy this read!

A grand guidance to the noble 8Fold Path

I have read all of Yeshe’s books and this is now one of my favorites due to its excellent description and action of the eightfold path of Buddhism. Appreciation and respect for this one and a must read!

Practical yet not trying to sell easy Buddhism

I’ve read a few books from this author. I’ve listened to his podcast. It’s always kind, practical realistic instruction. Direct but not dogmatic. Recommended.
