The Tranquil Mind
A clear, practical guide to the meditation the Buddha actually taught — before it got complicated.
If you’ve tried meditation and it felt like work, this book is for you. The Tranquil Mind teaches loving-kindness meditation and the 6Rs, drawn from the Buddha’s earliest recorded teachings, in plain language. No jargon. No sitting through pain to prove something. Just a simple object — the feeling of loving-kindness — and a gentle way back to it every time your mind wanders.
You’ll learn:
- The 6Rs: the single tool that turns a wandering mind from a problem into part of the practice
- How to meditate with loving-kindness as your object, and why it works
- What the jhanas are, and why they’re signs of progress, not goals to chase
- Why tranquility and insight grow together, not one after the other
