The Mindfulness in Plain English Collection

“Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English is written in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand style that clearly seems based on the author’s personal experience. Bhante Gunaratana offers a clear sense of the experience of moving from ordinary distracted mind to a strong state of concentration leading to the stages of awakening.”–Inquiring Mind“Bhante Gunaratana’s works stand out for their depth of wisdom, clarity of expression, and warm-hearted accessibility. The Four Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain English continues this tradition of exceptionally helpful dharma teachings.”–Joseph Goldstein, author of A Heart Full of Peace
