HeyDudesWassup Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Awesome book available online: Mindfulness in Plain English By Ven. Henepola Gunaratana http://www.saigon.com/~anson/ebud/mfneng/mind0.htm Preface In my experience I found that the most effective way to express something in order to make others understand is to use the simplest language. Also I learned from teaching that the more rigid the language the less effective it is. People to not respond to very stern and rigid language especially when we try to teach something which normally people don't engage in during their daily life. Meditation appears to them as something that they cannot always do. As more people turn to meditation, they need more simplified instructions so they can practice by themselves without a teacher around. This book is the result of requests made by many meditators who need a very simple book written in ordinary colloquial language.
