The Peaceful Stillness of the Silent Mind

More about the book

Lama Yeshe emphasizes that Buddhism encompasses a vast understanding of the universe, addressing the nature of every phenomenon. He highlights the importance of a silent mind, which should be alert and awakened, actively seeking the nature of reality. Meditation is presented as essential for managing an uncontrolled, undisciplined mind, serving as the path to true satisfaction. An uncontrolled mind is inherently troubled, and dissatisfaction is likened to a form of mental illness. The antidote lies in knowledge-wisdom—grasping the nature of psychological phenomena and understanding the internal workings of the mind.
