Özet

What is enlightenment? Is it a myth or is it real? On The Science of Enlightenment, you will learn that the liberated state is as real as the sensations you are having right now. For it is through the investigation of your own thoughts and feelings that you can awaken to clear insight and a happiness independent of conditions: the state of enlightenment.

Through his expertise in both science and spirituality, meditation teacher Shinzen Young demystifies the principles of awakening hidden within the world's great spiritual traditions and shows you how to use them in your own life.

Here, in an unequaled 14-CD course covering traditional teachings, scientific insights, and practical instructions, you will test for yourself the discoveries of the great wisdom traditions, including Buddhism, Christianity, Jewish mysticism, Sufism, Hinduism, shamanism, and many others.

Why is single-pointed concentration so highly regarded on every contemplative path? How do you move beyond emotional/intellectual blocks and into a state of highest presence? Where do psychic powers and other mystical phenomena fit in the architecture of enlightenment? How do you know if your meditation practice is working?

On The Science of Enlightenment, Shinzen Young elucidates these questions with precision and intelligence, demonstrating why he is regarded as one of the Western world's most articulate and understandable teachers of classical mystical experience.

The search for awakening is not limited to a chosen few. It is a field open for you to investigate—once you possess the inner technologies to do so. Now you can begin that investigation with The Science of Enlightenment. Includes six complete guided meditation sessions.

This book is a piece of gold, but just for people who is interested in enlightenment, for the ones who look for entertainment for the mind, you can go to look for spiritual fantasy books and entertainment.

This book is very powerful to understand really the path to enlightenment, and it requires from you to practice everyday too, because enlightenment is not mind stuff, its cuting trough the mind and the self with meditation practice, gaining concentration and wisdom as Buddha said.

If you want to improve your life in every aspect, and you want to go straight into enlightenment (even if your mind will not like this), this one is a good book as long as you do the practices too.

Shinzen has put together the most complete introduction and explanation of mindfulness practice and it’s origins from the mystic traditions with emphasis on the Buddhist teachings. A masterpiece.

I would like to congratulate the author of this fascinating book on spirituality, and how he blends this with science. This has to be a read for anyone interested in getting a deeper insight into the nature of matter, consciousness and the source of all things. The book explains complex terms such as impermanence in a simple yet profound way. This is without doubt a book with the potential to transform the way we perceive our selves and the world we live in.

This series has changed my life. I first listened to this when I was 17, and now 24, I'm hundreds of hours of meditation in and my life is undoubtedly much richer because of it. Shinzen has a clarity and 'matter of factness' that cuts through the jungle of contradictions, mysticism and lies of modern spirituality and refines the lessons of old into a way which follows a clear set of logic throughout. My improvement in quality of life is not due to some divine blessing of the gods or some other mystical explanation, but through a logical process of developing relaxation and concentration as Shinzen teaches.

Shinzen is not a master nor does he claim to be, but as his analogy states, you do not need to be a master to understand one. He communicates the spiritual path in the clearest way and most helpful I have ever known. I have read many books of the old zen masters, but most are very hard to understand and they have a 'sink or swim' mentality - if you don't get it, tough. The Science of Enlightenment clearly sets out why you should do meditation, how to do it, and some of the obstacles along the way. It also has very insightful analogies on the mind and I refer back to them constantly.

Another way it has changed my life is by opening my eyes to the universality of all religion. Whether it be Mind, God, Allah, The Great Sprit, it fundamentally points to the same thing - the source of everything. This completely changed my views on religion and I am a lot more tolerant of others beliefs. It has broken down barriers I had unconsciously set up, and allowed me to connect with people in a way I had not thought possible before.

I owe a great deal to this book. I urge anyone to give it a chance - if this series does not convince you meditation is worth it, nothing will.
