Getting Started with Mindfulness Meditation - Selected Resources

Whole once upon a time, it was difficult to find resources for mindfulness meditation in the English language, today there are numerous options online and in print. Some are excellent while others are less helpful. The resources curated below are some that I have found extremely helpful to myself and to students that I have taught. Some of these include:

• Pema Chödrön’s The Wisdom of No Escape, a short but extremely useful introduction to mindfulness meditation.

• David Michie’s The Dalai Lama’s Cat, a whimsical fantasy about meditation and Buddhism from the fictional perspective of a cat who lives with and observes the Dalai Lama in his day-to-day practice.
