Von der hinteren Coverseite

Freedom from suffering is not only possible, but the means for achieving it is completely within our grasp – literally as near to us as our own breath. In this book, Larry Rosenberg brings this 2,500-year-old practice to life for modern readers. He offers simple, accessible instruction on how to cultivate both tranquillity and deep insight through the full awareness of breathing. With wisdom, compassion and humour he demonstrates how the practice of breath awareness is quietly, profoundly transformative as well as a supremely practical: if you're breathing, you already have everything you need to start.

"Larry Rosenberg beautifully elucidates one of the most important and profound Buddhist teachings in a way that is wonderfully accessible and relevant"
Joseph Goldstein, author of 'Insight Medication: The Practice of Freedom'
