“One of the great spiritual leaders of all times” offers mindfulness meditations and guidance on how to bring awareness into everyday life with “an illuminating wisdom that dances through every page” (Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance)
The rewards of mindfulness practice are well proven: reduced stress, improved concentration, and an overall sense of well-being. But those benefits are just the beginning. Mindfulness in action—mindfulness applied throughout life—can help us work more effectively with life’s challenges, expanding our appreciation and potential for creative engagement.
This guide to mindful awareness through meditation provides all the basics to get you started, but also goes deeper to address the questions that naturally arise as your practice matures and further insight arises. A distillation of teachings on the subject by one of the great meditation masters of our time, this book serves as an introduction to the practice as well as a guide to the ongoing mindful journey.
“Mindfulness is the direct path to insight—and no one has ever illuminated that wonderful path more skillfully than Chögyam Trungpa.” —Pema Chödrön

The Reviews

This book is an inspiration. The editor Carolyn Rose Gimian has sifted through the roughly 2,000 talks Chogyam Trungpa gave on meditation and mindfulness and pulled together his pith instructions and witty observations. It is best read slowly so you can absorb the wisdom. If you follow his instructions, you will establish a strong meditation and mindfulness practice.

Great book. Learn the simplicity and power of meditation and it's effects from a true Buddhist master. Easy to read. Goes straight to the essence of living.

Chogyam is clear, lucid and brilliant. It's all the more amazing since English was not his native language. This book, Mindfulness in Action, makes the case, with simplicity and thoroughness, for what mindfulness & meditation really are and why we should practice.

Every page has pithy and profound dharma in it. I highly recommend it.

I found this to be a good review for foundations of meditation.

The astonishing Chogyam Trungpa. One can't have enough of his work.

Very helpful informative and refreshing to read CTR's teaching on Mindfulness
