This insightful, easy-to-read handbook offers a non-traditional perspective on meditation. Written primarily for American insight meditation students, it delivers the Buddha's essential teachings clearly, straightforwardly, and without spiritual jargon, and helps make sense of practices often laden with traditional terminology. Practical explanations of the meditation process, its benefits and applicability to daily life, and warmly humorous advice and encouragement give new practitioners the help necessary to continue practicing meditation on a regular basis.

Reviews for Buddha Takes No Prisoners: A Meditator's Survival Guide

A wise, clear, and playfully irreverent account of a meditator's journey. Patrick Ophuls speaks from experience as he points out the depth of the teachings and the seductions along the way. <br>--Joseph Goldstein, author of One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism <br> Erudite, humorous, intelligent, deeply insightful, extremely well written, accurate, accessible.... I want all my sangha here to read it. <br>--Robert K. Hall, founding teacher of the Lomi School, Santa Rosa, California, and El Dharma retreat center, Todos Santos, Mexico <br> A good introduction for the beginner and a fresh perspective for the experienced practitioner. Alternately makes us laugh at ourselves and reminds us of the poignancy of the teachings. <br>--Sharon Salzberg, author of A Heart as Wide as the World <br> Ophuls gives us a no-nonsense, commonsense tour of mindfulness-based meditation practice, pointing out contradictions and pitfalls, and laughing at our pretentions. ... This book will help you swim to the other shore. <br>--Wes Nisker, editor in chief, Inquiring Mind
