relaxed mind, The
Book Description
When Tibetan master Dza Kilung Rinpoche began teaching Western students in the late 1990s, he discovered a fundamental challenge. Despite their sincere dedication, these practitioners struggled to achieve the meditative depth that came naturally to his Asian students. The culprit was clear: the relentless pace and constant distractions of Western culture created barriers to the relaxation essential for authentic meditation practice.
In response to this insight, Kilung Rinpoche crafted a unique seven-phase meditation approach specifically designed for minds conditioned by modern life's intensity. The Relaxed Mind presents this innovative method, which honors traditional Tibetan Buddhist principles while addressing the particular needs of contemporary practitioners living amid cultural chaos and mental overstimulation.
This accessible guide serves dual purposes. For experienced meditators who find themselves trapped in cycles of tension and effort, it offers a pathway to genuine relaxation and deeper spiritual connection. For newcomers to meditation, it provides a comprehensive foundation that acknowledges the realities of distracted modern consciousness.
Rather than demanding practitioners abandon their cultural context, Kilung Rinpoche meets Western minds where they are. His method recognizes that true meditation begins not with forcing stillness, but with learning to release the chronic tension that prevents natural awareness from emerging. The result is a practical bridge between ancient wisdom and contemporary spiritual needs.
