À propos de cet audio

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.

If you are interested in learning about Buddhist psychology and practice from almost every Buddhist tradition I highly recommend this audio book. I was introduced to this teaching on cassettes about 20 years ago. I learned so much from it. It was a big part in transforming my life. I still listen to it today and still keep learning new things. A very wise investment. Thank you Shinzen!

I’ve been seeking answers my whole life. Answers that took a lot of pain to eventually find. Shinzen lays out here what took me 40 years to figure out on my own. Many throwaway comments in these lectures and meditations laid out simple clear answers to puzzles that took me months to work out on my own and with various teachers and therapists.

Fantastic deep and broad introduction to tackling personal challenges, meditation, enlightenment, along with Shinzen’s call to action that analytical minds more closely examine these topics, and that the insights and skills available to meditators became more commonplace.

While this is 16 hours, much of the most valuable and actionable advice is in the first few chapters.

I was familiar with Shinzen’s work before, and have attended some of his retreats, etc but generally found that Shinzen’s system is hard to recommend to would-be advanced meditators as I find Shinzen’s public materials, while rich and valuable, to be fairly inaccessible.

This recording, for me, was the missing link. A careful, deep and broad introduction to the best of Shinzen. His core descriptions of the meditative path, his clear and specific instructions for techniques, his careful and crisp definitions.

His techniques have evolved since these recordings, and those changes are worth checking out, but in my mind, this should be an outsiders first taste of Shinzen. It puts the rest in perspective, and may be all you need

Shinzen is Shinzen. Vast knowledge of languages, deep personal experience, a storied life, an obsession with science, and filled with endless insights and side stories.

Really glad I listened to this.


Wish I’d listened to this years ago.

A good intro into the meditation world. I dont agree with everything he say but at the same time i understand that he also had to make paletable to a western audience. I could of done without the guided meditions,not a fan especially in an audio book. I think that meditation should be done in silence and seclusion.

A Good Book
