This includes most e-reader applications on mobile phones and tablets (e.g. Apple's iBooks, various apps for Android), and on desktops (e.g. Calibre). - Kindle owners will generally want the AZW3 format. Unfortunately, AZW3s cannot be sent with Amazon's Send to Kindle service and need to be sideloaded via USB. Some have tried using Send to Kindle to send EPUBs, but with mixed success. - Kobo owners will want kobo's "KEPUB" format, which is a version of the EPUB format optimized for Kobo e-readers. ## Table of Contents - Cover - Titlepage - Copyright - Introduction Toggle subsection - The Noble Search for Happiness - Why Train the Mind - Counter-cultural Values - The Intelligent Heart - Home Schooling Your Inner Children - The Open Committee - Organizing Your Inner Committee - Unskillful Voices - The Kamma of Self & Not-self - The Need for Stillness - Everybody Suffers - Why the Breath - Why Mindfulness - Concentration Nurtured with Virtue - Concentration & Insight - Part I : Basic Instructions Toggle subsection - In Shape to Meditate - Maintaining Goodwill - Metta Meditation - Goodwill & Heedfulness - Gather âRound the Breath - Allowing the Breath to Spread - Brahmaviharas at the Breath - Turn Off the Automatic Pilot - Choiceful Awareness - Artillery All Around - Views, Virtue, & Mindfulness - Ekaggata - Training Your Minds - Equanimity - A Mirror for the Mind - Centered in the Body - Mindful Judgment - Part II : Common Problems Toggle subsection - Pain Is Not the Enemy - Pleasure & Pain - Insight into Pain - Take the One Seat - Strengthening Conviction - Perceptions of the Breath - The Power of Perception - Judging Your Meditation - Good & Bad Meditation - Evaluating Your Practice - Measuring Progress - Delusion Concentration - No Mistakes Are Fatal - Ups & Downs - Patience & Urgency - Fabricating with Awareness - The Arrow in the Heart - Unskillful Thinking - Unlearning Unskillful Behavior - The Arrows of Emotion - A Refuge from Aging, Illness, & Death - Sober Up - In the Mood - Today Is Better than Yesterday - Get Out of the Way - Antidotes - Sorting Yourselves Out - Purity of Heart - Feeding on the Breath - Practicing from Gratitude - Part III : Daily Life Toggle subsection - For the Survival of Your Goodness - After-work Meditation - A Culture of Self Reliance - A Wilderness Mind at Home - Skills to Take Home - New Feeding Habits for the Mind - The Skill of Restraint - Right Speech, Inside & Out - A Meditator is a Good Friend to Have - The Ivory Intersection - Caring Without Clinging - Protecting Your Space - An Anthropologist from Mars - Renunciation - Part IV : Advanced Practice Toggle subsection - The Four Jhanas - The Poison Blowfish - Proactive with Pain - The Swinging Balance - A Recipe for Jhana - Sensitive to the Breath - Generating Energy - Balance & Release - Broad, Tall, & Deep - Full Attention - Levels of Truth - Feeding on Feeding - Feeding Frenzy: Dependent Co-arising - Good Eating - Chewed Up by Your Food - Isolating the Aggregates - Sensuality - Transparent Becoming - Cutting New Paths in the Mind - Skills of the Dhamma Wheel - Heedful of Death - Donât Worry, Be Focused - Strengthening Discernment - Equanimity Isnât Everything - The Essence of the Dhamma - Freedom Through Painful Practice - Talks on the Buddhaâs Sixteen-step Instructions in Breath Meditation : Toggle subsection - The Steps of Breath Meditation - Lessons in Happiness - On the Path of the Breath - The Breath All the Way - Exploring Fabrication - Breath, Tranquility, & Insight - Part V : Finding a Teacher Toggle subsection - Admirable Friendship - To Purify the Heart - Remembering Ajaan Suwat - Multi-Dimensional Dhamma - Factors for Stream-entry - The Brightness of the World - A Refuge from Modern Values - Glossary ## Cover image - --> - - - -
