Living This Life Fully: Stories and Teachings of Munindra

Highlighting 16 qualities that make a great person and lead to spiritual awakening, this is the first book to feature the life and teachings of Anagarika Munindra (1915-2003), the meditation master who taught so many of today's prominent dharma teachers in the West and helped start the contemporary mindfulness movement. Unassuming, genuine, and always encouraging, Munindra (1915-2003) embodied the Buddhist teachings as both a warm, openhearted scholar and a pragmatic yet truly compassionate teacher. Includes never-before-published excerpts of his teachings, stories and remembrances from Western and Asian students, a biography, and rare photographs.
