Beschrijving

Silent Mind, Holy Mind by Thubten Yeshe (with Jon Landaw) is a brief but insightful spiritual guide that explores the nature of the mind from a Buddhist perspective. The book discusses how habitual, discursive thinking often obscures direct awareness and inner peace, and it presents practices designed to help quiet the “silent mind” — the mind free from clinging and self-cherishing. Yeshe offers a blend of philosophical reflection and practical instruction, including a “mind-training” section composed of eight verses aimed at helping readers diminish ego-centred tendencies and cultivate clarity, compassion, and presence. Rather than complex doctrine, the tone is simple and evocative, making the book accessible for both beginners in Buddhist thought and experienced practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of awareness and inner stillness. The text invites readers to experience insight directly by observing the workings of their own mind and relaxing habitual resistance to what is.
