From our bestselling author of Buddhism Plain and Simple, a straightforward guide to meditation

In the modern world our lives are more frenetic than ever. We live with a burning sense that we have to get something done. But what do we really achieve? And why are we never satisfied?

This book is an invitation to switch off, and to enjoy stillness - right now. Bestselling author and teacher Steve Hagen provides an accessible and thorough manual on meditation, for both newcomers and experienced practitioners. He offers simple practices that avoid needlessly complicating meditation; highlights where many of us get stuck in meditating - and how to get unstuck; and, above all, focuses on meditation not simply as a spiritual technique, but as a way of living.

About the author

Steve Hagen

Steve Hagen is a Zen priest, a long-time teacher of Buddhism and the author of How the World Can Be the Way It Is.

He began studying Buddhism in 1967, and in 1975 became a student of Zen master Dainin Katagiri, the author of Returning to Silence: Zen Practice in Daily Life. He was ordained a Zen priest in 1979. Hagen later studied with a number of other teachers in Asia and Europe. In 1989 he received Dharma Transmission (endorsement to teach) from Katagiri Roshi.

Steve Hagen lives in Minneapolis, where he lectures, teaches meditation, and leads retreats at the Dharma Field Meditation and Learning Center. He is currently working on several books and has recently edited You Have to Say Something (Shambhala 1998), a collection of Dharma talks by Katagiri Roshi.
