What if there were a pill that could calm and clarify the mind, transform fatigue into energy...and even improve your physical health? Until that scientific breakthrough happens, teaches Shinzen Young, there is another one that has already been proven at medical centers and universities around the world - the ancient science of meditation.
On The Beginner's Guide to Meditation, listeners learn exactly how specific inner techniques affect the mind and body - how to establish a daily meditation practice - plus, a complete five-part guided session to help listeners begin experiencing the benefits of meditation immediately.
Shinzen Young, a native of Los Angeles, became fascinated with Asian culture at an early age, learning Chinese and Japanese while still in his teens. In 1968, he entered a doctoral program in Buddhist studies at the University of Wisconsin. Three years later he was ordained as a Buddhist monk at Mount Koya, Japan. After several years of training in Asian monasteries, he became interested in the scientific study of meditative states and worked at the Princeton Biofeedback Institute. He taught Asian philosophy at Chapman College and mathematics and physics at Ernest Holmes College, and frequently serves as translator for Joshu Sasaki Roshi at Mount Baldy Zen Center. Shinzen has been conducting meditation retreats throughout North America for over twenty years. His goal is to present meditative practice in a lucid and systematic way utilizing fully contemporary vocabulary. He avoids Eastern cultural trappings yet preserves the rigor and depth of traditional Asian training.
