The New Meditation Handbook: Meditations to Make Our Life Happy and Meaningful Review: Very simple beginner book - This is an entry level Buddhist meditation book. Although it does cover many fundamentals. I think many novice meditation practioners could benefit from this book. Review: A PRECIOUS BOOK THAT INSPIRES AND AIDS PROGRESS ALONG THE SPIRITUAL PATH - The New Meditation Handbook by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is an invaluable practical guide to meditation. In Geshe Kelsang's introduction he clearly and concisely describes the importance of meditation and how it can help us in our daily lives. Geshe Kelsang stresses the importance of looking for the source of happiness internally rather than constantly trying to manipulate external situations and or objects. Without inner peace no matter how great our external circumcustances, we will not be able to experience true, long-lasting happiness. Geshe Kelsang describes twenty-one powerful meditations that cultivate inner peace within the mind. He also includes a special breathing meditation which focuses on a mantra, in the back of the book that is the most powerful breathing meditation I have ever done. This book is a great introduction to beginners as well as deepens the practice of seasoned meditators. The twenty-one meditations themselves are based upon specific tenents of Buddhist thought and philosophy. Those who are unfamiliar with these basic concepts of Buddhism will find the meditations a great way to learn more about Buddhism. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who is interested in engaging in and/or deepening their meditation practice and learning more about Buddhist thought and philosophy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #332,054 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #270 in Buddhist Rituals & Practice (Books) #458 in Spiritual Meditations (Books) #1,891 in Meditation (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (249) | | Dimensions | 5.13 x 0.63 x 7.75 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 1616060263 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1616060268 | | Item Weight | 10.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 238 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 2013 | | Publisher | Tharpa Publications | ## Images ![The New Meditation Handbook: Meditations to Make Our Life Happy and Meaningful - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NjVxc6kVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very simple beginner book *by T***B on July 22, 2025* This is an entry level Buddhist meditation book.

I found clear cut directions in this book on how to meditate. "The profundity [of one school of Buddhism].. is dependent on an individual's karmic imprints. Try to have faith in one school of Dharma" -Madhyamaka School, PSL Shedra Series Keeping that quote in mind, I have complete faith in Lamrim. I use this book daily for a 10-20 minute morning meditation and view it's instructions as a technical manual on how this mind works. I personally like this version better than "The New Meditation Handbook" because of the way the 21 meditations are so clearly outlined on the page (just better suited to me). It is the thinnest book I've read on the subject, a whole lifetime could be spent putting this book into practice.
