{"product_id":"meditation-in-action-isbn-9781611806878","title":"Meditation in Action","description":"This classic teaching by a Tibetan master continues to inspire both beginners and long-time practitioners of Buddhist meditation.  In  \u003ci\u003eMeditation in Action, \u003c\/i\u003e Chögyam Trungpa teaches that meditation is based on trying to see what is, rather than trying to achieve a higher mental or physical state.  Trungpa describes the life of the Buddha, emphasizing that, like the Buddha, we must find the truth for ourselves, rather than following someone else's example. Meditation in action might also be called \"working meditation,\" for it is not a retreat from the world.  Rather, it builds the foundation for tremendous compassion, awareness, and creativity in all aspects of a person's mind or behavior.  Trungpa shows that meditation extends beyond the formal practice of sitting to build the foundation for compassion, awareness, and creativity in all aspects of life.  He explores the six activities associated with meditation in action—generosity, discipline, patience, energy, clarity, and wisdom –revealing that through simple direct experience, one can attain real wisdom—the ability to see clearly into situations and to deal with them skillfully, without the self-consciousness connected with ego.Chögyam Trungpa (1940–1987)—meditation master, teacher, and artist—founded Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, the first Buddhist-inspired university in North America; the Shambhala Training program; and an international association of meditation centers known as Shambhala International. He is the author of numerous books, including \u003ci\u003eShambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCutting Through Spiritual Materialism\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302434722021,"sku":"NP9781611806878","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781611806878_ec2158f0-beec-471a-99ec-3d532d3a6fb7.jpg?v=1742927511","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/meditation-in-action-isbn-9781611806878","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
