Summary: My Companion for over 30 Years
Review: "Gesture of Balance"is one of the best books I have ever read on meditation, relaxation and balance. As he describes, we are the meditation--everything becomes part of us as we become open, accepting and allowing. "Gesture of Balance" has been a wonderful companion for me for over 30 years.

This book and author have given me peace of mind and security within my meditation practice and in life itself. This evening I enjoyed reviewing his chapter on how to balance our emotions. My partner will be undergoing surgery soon, so I am sad and fearful for her. She is so brave and has been through so much with this cancer. And, just when we think she is free of this disease, it appears in another system. Thank you Tarhang for your guidance through these tough times.

Amazon press has a special on this book. This could be the best $10.00 you ever invested.

Summary: Meditation: Start Here
Review: Although I'm just starting my meditation, I think it's an excellent introduction into meditation and one's life. It focuses heavily on the mind and building awareness and thereby gives glimpses at the goals of the practice of meditation. Tulku continually explains why many people feel lost, anxious and misdirected in their lives and how meditation can help these people find a natural inner confidence. If you're looking for something to tell you to 'sit here, think this, breath this way' you might be disappointed in the philosophical nature of this book's writing. I think that's a normal attitude for us beginners to have, but once you've begun your journey on the path of meditation you'll probably think your original preconceptions about it were silly.
