Description   In 1988, Gen Lamrimpa, a Tibetan monk and contemplative, led a one-year retreat in the Pacific Northwest, during which a group of Western meditators devoted themselves to the practice of meditative quiescence (shamatha). 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. Features "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."—Ani Jutima, Tibetan Review "How to Practice Shamatha Meditation provides very practical and experientially grounded teachings."—Joe B. Wilson, The Tibet Journal Gen Lamrimpa, Ven. Jampal Tenzin (1934–2004), was a close disciple of H.H. the Dalai Lama. He lived in meditative solitude in the mountains high above Dharamsala, India, where he gained a reputation for his deep experience of the "stages of the path" practices. He was renowned as an accomplished practitioner of meditative stabilization and tummo (psychic heat) as well as other tantric meditations. B. Alan Wallace has served as interpreter for many distinguished Tibetan lamas and has taught extensively in Europe and America. He is the author of The Attention Revolution and Minding Closely, and has edited, translated, authored, or contributed to more than thirty works on Tibetan Buddhism, medicine, and culture, and the interface between science and religion.
