A Guide to Buddhism for Meditation Practitioners. Developing Awareness, Compassion, and Wisdom

This practical guide will introduce you to the key principles and practices of meditation in the Buddhist tradition. Your journey will begin with the teaching of the Four Noble Truths, which will help you understand the causes of suffering and access inner peace and deep insights. You will then become familiar with the teachings on suffering, the nature of Buddha, and the deep principle of emptiness, culminating in a discussion on Vajrayana — special meditation practices that use all human experiences for awakening, including sleep and strong emotions.
