I have just finished a beautiful book entitled The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness (2007) by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.

Here's a review:

This is a truly wonderful book. Although written by a Tibetan Tulka (reincarnate Lama) Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, it is a true blend of science and Buddhism. For those who are interested in the scientific answers to the working of the human mind you will find the answers here.
If like me, you follow a Buddhist Path this book is a truly remarkable piece of teaching from one of the Worlds most renowned Buddhist Teachers. In this book Rinpoche explains how from a very young age he suffered severe panic attacks, how he dealt with pain and a host of other problems that people face.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Joy-Living-Unlocking-Science-Happiness/dp/0307346250/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201300472&sr=1-1


I chose the book because, like Mingyur, I also suffer from panic attacks, and I was interested to see how a 'real-life Tibetan Master' handled them.

There is a wonderful series of mini-meditations, from 1 to 3 minutes, which have completely rewired my thinking about how to meditate, and about 'how to' do anything, including taiji practise.

I am following a buddhist path just like you! In particular I follow the Buddhism of Lotus Sutra according to Nichiren Daishonin and Soka Gakkai teachings. It is a japanese practice, very helpful to me and my life, resulted widened and expanded by it. I have been practicing it for 13 years and it is still a supportive and inspirational experience.
But now I would like to learn something about Tai Chi Meditation, expecially for healing and wellbeing aspects and as an integration with Tai Chi and Qi Gong exercises. As soon as possible I will buy the Meditation DVD of Master Jesse Tsao...! Smile
