5"What is mindfulness? Why should I practice it? What are its individual and collective benefits, if any? How should I meditate? How do I overcome the inherent difficulties of the practice? How can I live more mindfully?" This is a book on mindfulness, spiritual search, and the promotion of social justice. Mindfulness is much more about exploration than explanation. As the Buddha repeatedly said, "Come and see for yourself." This book invites readers to investigate their paradigms, give free reins to their imagination, and contemplate the possibility that Heaven is here, if they want it to be. It encourages readers to roll up their sleeves and get involved in the work of saving our planet and bringing about a more humane and less violent society.
