The Tibetan Book of Meditation is a synthesis of all the great Tibetan commentaries on meditation. It is a comprehensive guide to transforming one’s meditation practice from ordinary to extraordinary. The book begins with wisdom from a profound ancient teacher, Master Kamalashila, and continues with teachings carried through by a long lineage of Tibetan masters, right up to the great modern day Lamas. A very accomplished mediation practitioner, Christie McNally has spent six years of her life deep in silent meditation retreat; she combines her own insights and experience together with ancient wisdom, to teach today’s practitioners how to transform their meditations into a practice that can bring them ultimate happiness.
ABOUT LAMA CHRISTIE MCNALLY - Lama Christie trained in Tibetan monasteries in India and Nepal and has received extensive instruction in all the texts required for a Geshe degree, which is traditionally a 20-year course of study. From there, she immersed herself in the secret teachings of Buddhism. She is one of the first Western women to be recognized as a Lama. She is a translator of ancient Tibetan and Sanskrit and a professor of religious studies. She co-authored The Essential Yoga Sutra, How Yoga Works, and The Eastern Path to Heaven. She is the co-founder of Diamond Mountain University, a revolutionary effort to provide, without charge, a classical monastic education to westerners of all walks of life, to be used within the modern world. For the Diamond Mountain curriculum, she authored the Bok Jinpa Series (15 Courses in Advanced Meditation) and co-authored the Advanced Buddhist Series (15 Courses on the Diamond Way). From 2000 to 2003, Lama Christie and her spiritual partner, Geshe Michael Roach, completed a traditional Great Retreat of 3 years, 3 months, and 3 days of silence and meditation in the wilderness of the southern Arizona desert.
