This book is a record of the oral teachings he gave to this group at the outset of the retreat. The teachings are brought to life by Gen Lamrimpa’s warmth, humor, and extensive personal experience as a contemplative recluse. An invaluable, practical guide for those seeking to develop greater attentional stability and clarity, this work will be of considerable interest to meditators, psychologists, and all others who are concerned with the potentials of the human mind.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“It is Gen Lamrimpa’s familiarity with meditation on a deep experiential level that makes his teachings so valuable and this a book to be recommended.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003cstrong\u003eAni Jutima, Tibetan Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“How to Practice Shamatha Meditation provides very practical and experientially grounded teachings.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003cstrong\u003eJoe B.
