Meditation for Life
In Meditation for Life , Martine Batchelor's writing -- through a mix of anecdote, humor, and practical instruction -- brings to bear her considerable experience as a meditation teacher as she explains the techniques of three major Buddhist Theravada, Tibetan, and Zen, while Stephen Batchelor's full-color photographs invite even the most seasoned practitioner to see with new eyes. This vividly photographed book encourages us to bring creative awareness to every aspect of our lives -- from making conversation to making dinner -- and reveals how every moment can be an opportunity to find joy.

I can't believe no one on Goodreads has read this book! At a time when I was searching for something more, I read this book and it made beautiful sense to me. The author, Martine Batchelor, discusses Buddhism and meditation from her perspective as a woman who has lived sequestered among monks at a monastery. Maybe it was my own personal zeitgeist, but I have a fondness for this book. It made me appreciate and relate to everything external to myself.
