There is much wisdom to be found in this brilliant yet simple book. The lessons offered by Sakyong Mipham are like spiritual vitamins that will nourish the runner's soul.

"Running With the Mind of Meditation" is a delightful and welcome addition to contemplative literature. We often forget that movement is a natural complement to meditative practice, and helps us avoid what has been called the 'stone Buddha' syndrome. This book is a profound guide to the integration of mind and body."

-Larry Dossey, MD, author of "Healing Words: the Power of Premonitions" and "The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things"
