Our teacher Lama Losang just released a wonderful new book: The Golden Eight-Petaled Lotus, Book One: Wisdom and Compassion.
"The practices of meditation and mindfulness found in this book ultimately lead to the awakening of wisdom and compassion. You have already started on the path by establishing the interest and motivation to explore these tried-and-true methods for cultivating the mindfulness skills needed to bring you happiness and well-being. Anyone can directly experience the healing benefits of these practices if applied consistently in daily life."
Copies are available at Gainesville KTC or on Amazon.
