The Joy of True Meditation: Words of Encouragement for Tired Minds and Wild Hearts - Jeff Foster
KORTE INHOUD
“What is meditation? Pure fascination with this moment, exactly as it is”.
Jeff Foster, a survivor of suicidal depression and now a popular spiritual teacher, invites us to discover the “life-saving” inner sanctuary of true meditation.
