Mind in Harmony will interest anyone who is curious to know what
Buddhism has to say about the mind and how to live an ethical life.
Subhuti describes the mind from the Buddhist point of view, and shows
how such knowledge can help us live a more satisfactory life. This is
also a handbook for those who are seriously interested in the
long-established Buddhist system of "mind training," and offers some of
the tools needed to construct a system of mind training for oneself.
Subhuti has led meditation retreats in Europe, the United States, and
India on the Buddhist texts of the Yogacara Abhidharma, the source of
this system of mind training. This book represents the crystallization
of that teaching experience. Subhuti uses the perennial wisdom of the
Abhidharma to illuminate mental patterns, and so draws a map of the mind
that helps us first to recognize and then to transform our inner world
and our lives.
Subhuti joined the Triratna Buddhist Order in 1973 and has since
devoted himself to the practice and teaching of Buddhism. Based in north
Wales, he spends part of each year in India, leading retreats and giving
lectures. He is the author of The Buddhist Vision, Sangharakshita: A
New Voice in the Buddhist Tradition, and Buddhism and Friendship.
