Mindfulness in Action

Making Friends with Yourself through Meditation and Everyday Awareness

By: Chögyam Trungpa

Narrated by: Roger Clark

The rewards of mindfulness practice are well proven: reduced stress, improved concentration, and an overall sense of well-being. But those benefits are just the beginning. Mindfulness in action - mindfulness applied throughout life - can help us work more effectively with life's challenges, expanding our appreciation and potential for creative engagement.

This guide to mindful awareness through meditation provides all the basics to get you started but also goes deeper to address the questions that naturally arise as your practice matures and further insight arises. A distillation of teachings on the subject by one of the great meditation masters of our time, this book serves as an introduction to the practice as well as a guide to the ongoing mindful journey.

Among His Best

This is very subjective of course. I actually attended Trungpa Rinpoche's talks in Boulder in the early '70s that were transcribed into Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism and Meditation In Action, this book, Mindfulness In Action, is very well timed for where I'm at in my practice. It deals more specifically with the nuts and bolts of meditation combined with Trungpa Rinpoche's clear insights always so well shared. The narration is good, clear and concise. These are new and unique teachings, not a remix. I just finished and I'm starting again.

Brilliant Narration, Sound Advice

First of all, I could listen to Roger Clark read the phone book. His assured narration gives me the impression of being in an imaginary, idealized Oxford lecture hall where I may not always be following along, but I'm happy to be here.

Second, for a novice and halfhearted meditator like myself, these lectures give a clear idea of what I'm trying to do— Let go of my own dogma and be present. Chögyam Trungpa, Pema Chodron's teacher, talks at length of different paths to finding mindfulness. Overall I found this helpful, empathetic, and even entertaining.

This guy’s performance make me feel like Trungpa is teaching me directly

The most concise and practical course on Buddhism, meditation and mindfulness. Good to have on repeat forever.

Always Sublime

The marriage of Roger Clark's voice and Trungpa's words never disappoints. I believe I have listened to every one of Clark's narrations of this wise lama's books and it is as if his voice is the voice of Trungpa Rinpoche.

I need to listen again

One of those books that comes with a lot of heart. It leaves you thinking. I had to put it down a few times because I felt like I had too many subjects that needed time to process. Worth the credit Chögyams becoming a very influential person in my journey
