"Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English is written in an easy-to-read,
easy-to-understand style that clearly seems based on the author's
personal experience. Bhante Gunaratana offers a clear sense of the
experience of moving from ordinary distracted mind to a strong
state of concentration leading to the stages of awakening."--
"Inquiring Mind"
"It's been nearly two decades since the bestselling Mindfulness in
Plain English was published, and this new book is a classic in the
making. It shows us that having faith in the Buddha, and applying a
healthy striving with sincerity and energy, will guide us towards
wisdom. This does seem so achievable, as the author gives us the
theory, piece by piece and voila! Mindfulness in perfect balance.
Of course we have to get rid of some hindrances along the way but
the goal is worth it."-- "Mandala"
