Publisher's Summary

As a Tibetan lama and leader of Shambhala (an international community of 165 meditation centers), Sakyong Mipham has found physical activity to be essential for spiritual well-being. He's been trained in horsemanship and martial arts but has a special love for running. Here, he incorporates his spiritual practice with running, presenting basic meditation instruction and fundamental principles he has developed. Even though both activities can be complicated, the lessons here are simple and designed to show how the melding of internal practice with physical movement can be used by anyone - regardless of age, spiritual background, or ability - to benefit body and mind.

Good book

Very sound buddhist advice and interesting stories. I felt a lot of motivation to run during reading this book. But I recommend googling the author

Enjoyable listening

I enjoyed the book as I am a runner who also meditates. It was an insightful look into that part of Sakyong Mipham’s life and he did have valuable advise.
