Mindfulness and Mind Training

A practical guide to real mindfulness.

A Buddhist monk and coach Lobsang Tenpa clears the concept of mindfulness of trendy distortions, returning it to its traditional roots.

Key themes:

- The true meaning of mindfulness vs. popular simplifications

- 2 functions of the mind: observation and response

- The difference between hedonia (pleasures) and eudaimonia (meaningful happiness)

- Practical methods for training the mind

- Pitfalls of practice (anxiety, spiritual materialism)

Who is it for:

✔ Beginners—to start correctly

✔ Practitioners—to deepen understanding

✔ Skeptics—to offer a scientifically grounded approach

The highlight: Honest discussion of the difficulties that mass-market books keep silent about.

Bottom line: Mindfulness is not a fashionable trend, but a system for training the mind for lasting well-being.
