<div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .25in"> Why meditate? On what? And <I>how</i>? In his latest book <B><I>Why Meditate?</i></b><I>—</i>an instant bestseller in the author's native France—<B>Matthieu Ricard</b> aims to answer these very questions.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .25in"> As a molecular geneticist turned Buddhist monk, Ricard brings a wholly unique perspective to the practice of meditation. Often referred to as “the happiest man in the world,” he advises us in the ways to imbue our lives with a true sense of serenity and fulfillment.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .25in"> In simple, clear language, Ricard walks readers through the theories and practicalities of meditation, demonstrating its many benefits in our modern world. He shows readers how to achieve emotional balance, enhance mindfulness, expand altruistic love, and develop a sense of inner calm; while also reducing anxiety, vulnerability to pain, and tendency toward depression and anger.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .25in"> This enlightening book conflates the spiritual with the scientific, the transcendent with the pragmatic, and the Western world with Eastern wisdom. No matter what point of view you approach it from—whether that of personal transformation or physical health—meditation emerges as a prominent part of leading a balanced life.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.25in; tab-stops: -1.0in -.5in 0in .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 1.75in 2.0in 2.25in 2.5in 2.75in 3.0in 3.25in 3.5in 3.75in 4.0in 4.25in 4.5in 4.75in 5.0in 5.25in">In the accompanying 60-minute CD, Ricard explores the concepts of freedom and self, expands on the benefits of meditation, and advises on the benefits of creating a regular meditative practice. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.25in; tab-stops: -1.0in -.5in 0in .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 1.75in 2.0in 2.25in 2.5in 2.75in 3.0in 3.25in 3.5in 3.75in 4.0in 4.25in 4.5in 4.75in 5.0in 5.25in"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.25in; tab-stops: -1.0in -.5in 0in .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 1.75in 2.0in 2.25in 2.5in 2.75in 3.0in 3.25in 3.5in 3.75in 4.0in 4.25in 4.5in 4.75in 5.0in 5.25in"><B>All of the author's proceeds from the sale of this book go to Karuna-Shechen, a humanitarian organization that he founded to provide primary health care and education for the under-served populations of the Himalayan region.</b></p></p></p></div>
